The New Sound

Characteristics of the Plane Wave created by FPS Characteristics of the Plane Wave created by FPS Strong Directivity
Plane wave sound have lower attenuation since the wave advance only to the forward and easy to control the sound spreading area.

True Sound
Plane wave speakers can reproduce clear higher tones easier than conventional cone speakers. You can fully enjoy clear sounds, such as vocals, instrumentals and the theatre.

Quick Rising Time

Compared to conventional cone speakers, sounds created by planar wave speakers rise ten times quicker. This makes events such as concerts and theatrical events come alive.

Minimum Acoustic Feedback

Planar wave speakers are much less susceptible to acoustic feedback. One can place
Waveform of sound is Our company name FPS is stands for Flat Panel completely different Speakers. FPS Flat Panel Speakers use "Plane Flat Panel Speaker Conventional Cone Speaker wave" technology. This technology is quite different from conventional cone speakers due to its sound waves (spherical wave and plane wave). Conventional box speakers are usually called "Cone Speakers". They generate spherical waves that will lose its strength the further it travels. The theory Plane Spherical Wave Wave behind cone speakers has been unchanged for about eighty years. Our speakers can create the ideal planar waves based on our advanced FPS patented technology. This enables us to create Sound waves are very directional Sound waves carry in all direction sound with only 7mm~15mm of thickness. This groundbreaking theory, will change the way people view acoustic sound forever.

speakers anywhere at conference halls, school auditoriums and meeting rooms, without the fear of feedback.

Lightweight and Compact

A car audio speaker system using cone speakers can weight up to 11 kg while our FPS speakers only weight 2 kg. Our FPS speaker can weight only one/fifth the weight of other professional speakers. The thinness of our speakers makes the speakers look very trendy. The amount of space that can be saved by using our speakers can be very advantageous for various applications.

High Water Resistance

Our vibrating diaphragm uses waterproof materials. Our speakers can be used in places where moisture and heat will not be a factor on its performance. Extreme temperatures range from -20 degrees to 220 degrees.

MCMA (Multi Cell Microtransducer Array) Technology

The MCMA Transducer was developed by our company and has already granted patents in Japan and other countries. FPS Flat Panel Speaker is the 21st centurys speaker unit. FPS's new generation speakers are composed of our newest flat speaker unit, "MCMA". Idealistic planar waves can be created by putting many micro-cells on polymer molecule vibrating diaphragm. The MCMA planar wave technology broadens the functions of sound.

Highly Recyclable
Recycling rates: Cone speakers 35%-65%, FPS speakers 99.5% (maximum depending on products) The benefits of being light and compact can curtail necessary energy, resources, transportation cost and storage cost. Thus, our products is very eco-friendly.

Application of the Characteristics

Differences between Cone & FPS

Places with congestion noise

High directivity, durability and far reach clear sound effectively function on the places with noise. Outside use Station yard and platform Busy downtown Outdoor event Outdoor large-sized monitor Places many people get together Facilities for entertainment Hospital waiting lounge Far reaching clear sound without feeling noisy near speakers Endurable, ompact, loyal to the original sound, those are the outstanding characteristics of our Flat Panel Speakers.

Places with reverberant noise

Clear & Easy to listen anywhere

Less reverberation is the advantage of Flat Panel Speaker. Facilities having high ceiling produces reverberation, such as church, gymnastic hall, etc. We can deliver clear and comfortable sound with less reverberation.

For Elderly people with hearing difficulty For paging at hospitals without distracting others Plane wave speaker is gentle to people.

Rich and clear sound that is full of life. This is achieved by linear sound waves. Mid and high pitched sound output comes from both sides of the speaker. True sound reachable over a distance with acute directivity. Application is endless due to its size, weight and resistance to heat and moisture. Line source1/R R is distance 5m distance - Less than 1/5

The acoustic energy of sound source shows in a nonlinear form. Spray nozzle effect requires the design of the sound wave to show a rediant form that limits the optimal sound fields.
