Where the FA300iC series uses a conventional coaxial tweeter, the FA501iC integrates a 25mm titanium dome compression tweeter concentrically at the centre of the 150mm bass\/midrange cone — the same driver topology used in Fyne's freestanding F500SP and F700SP loudspeakers. The result is wider, more consistent off-axis dispersion than a conventional in-ceiling speaker can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIsoFlare In-Ceiling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe IsoFlare driver eliminates the inter-driver distance of conventional two-way in-ceiling designs, producing a point source with coherent dispersion across the listening area. In a multi-seat room — a kitchen, dining room, or open-plan space — consistent sound at off-axis positions matters more than in a conventional stereo sweet spot. The titanium dome compression tweeter extends frequency response to 34kHz and has lower distortion at high frequencies than a fabric dome of comparable sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FA501iC mounts in a 208mm circular cutout with 99mm depth behind the ceiling surface. The clamp system adjusts between 5mm and 50mm for different ceiling thicknesses. Round (232mm) and square (233 × 233mm) grille options are available. Crossover is at 1.7kHz — significantly lower than the FA301iC's 3.2kHz, keeping the tweeter handling a smaller proportion of the audio band.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDriver\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e150mm IsoFlare: multi-fibre cone, 25mm titanium dome compression tweeter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40Hz–34kHz (–6dB, typical in room)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e89dB (2.83V @ 1m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8Ω nominal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrossover frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.7kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended amplifier power\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30–125W RMS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContinuous power handling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62.5W RMS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeak power handling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChassis dimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e224mm diameter × 101mm depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting cutout\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e208mm diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth behind surface\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e99mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClamp travel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5–50mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.3kg each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho Is It For?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FA501iC is the choice when a conventional coaxial in-ceiling speaker is not good enough — when the room needs genuine IsoFlare dispersion consistency, or when the installation is being matched to Fyne Audio freestanding speakers elsewhere in the building. It is the minimum specification for a serious primary listening zone in an in-ceiling installation.
