Fluid Audio C5BT Active Bluetooth Studio Monitor w/Aptx and Optical Input

C5BT is an affordable Bluetooth enabled monitor using the newest CSR BT 4.0 technology with aptX support. aptX has revolutionized the Bluetooth Stereo listening experience by significantly reducing the bit rate without affecting audio quality or introducing latency issues. With a bit-rate of 384 kbit/s @ 16/48kHz, the aptX audio codec source material is transparently delivered over the Bluetooth link, whether it is stored uncompressed or in an alternative compression (MP3, AAC, FLAC) format.

The C5BT monitor has a pedigree of making music in professional studios, coming from the likes of other Fluid monitors like the F5 and FX8.

However, with the C5BT we set out to create a great sounding monitor that could be used at home or the office as well. Whether you're watching a movie, streaming music on the web, or just listening to your favorite downloaded tracks on your phone, you want an accurate reproduction of what the mix engineer intended. For this, you need a speaker with a well-balanced frequency response - so you won't hear any frequency louder or softer than any other, but also one that images well. What is imaging? When you listen to music, and close your eyes, can you picture where the instruments are on the "virtual stage"? If you can, you have speakers that image very well­.

Not only do the C5BT's provide a clearer view into the music you are listening to (or perhaps making) they also overcome many of the limitations found in many other speakers. Using quality speaker drivers and employing a sophisticated crossover network, they sound clear and transparent. From Pro engineers at commercial studios to listening to your favorite music or movies at home, the C5BT sets a new, affordable standard in monitoring.
