Model FS-4000 and FS-5000 Front Stage
Loudspeakers
The Front Stage Loudspeakers are integrated high-performance loudspeak-
ers containing all three front channel speakers (LCR) in a single elegant,
slim enclosure. These speakers can be either wall-mounted above or below
the video display, or can be placed on a shelf or on the television itself with
the included rocker base.
These units are intended for use with the latest generation of flat screen
video displays. The advanced design of these speakers delivers detailed,
articulate sound for a dramatic viewing experience. Each of the three
separate internal chambers contains a complete speaker system. In the FS-
4000, each speaker is comprised of one 4 ½-inch (115mm) GLH (Graph-
ite Loaded Homopolymer) woofer, one 4 ½-inch (115mm) GLH Pressure
Driver, and an advanced 1-inch (25mm) ferrofluid-cooled, damped soft-
dome tweeter.
In the FS-5000, each speaker utilizes two high-power 4 ½-inch GLH woof-
ers and the 1-inch (25mm) soft-dome tweeter.

The drivers are mounted in an acoustically inert, heavily braced MDF enclo-
sure and are magnetically shielded so they may be placed close to any type
of video monitor without concern of video interference. Note also that the
tweeters are mounted above the centerline of the woofers. This arrange-
ment results in a smoother in-room frequency response, for greater clarity
and detail.
For accurate reproduction of a multi-channel soundtrack, the three front-
channel speakers must have the same essential tonal balance. Since the Front
Stage Loudspeakers are comprised of three identical speakers mounted in
a common enclosure, they deliver an exceptionally smooth and coherent
sonic signature across the front soundstage.
Acoustic Controls
System FS-4000 and FS-5000 include unique acoustic controls to help
maximize their performance in your room. These controls are explained in
greater detail on page 6.
