There’s action ago-go at the UK’s Fyne Audio as it launches SuperTrax, a new “revolutionary super tweeter that eliminates traditional super tweeters’ narrowly focused beam directionality with 360° omnidirectional dispersion”. Models come in both traditional walnut veneers with gold anodised metalwork to complement the company’s Vintage and Vintage Classic Series, as well as a contemporary Gloss Black and Satin Silver version to match Fyne’s F700 Series and black-finish loudspeakers from other manufacturers. The 25mm Thin Ply Carbon Diaphragm (TPCD) tweeter has a neodymium magnet system and sensitivity is quoted at 98dB (into 8ohm).

Fyne Audio is also releasing its new SuperTrax SC1 cable. Built in Glasgow, alongside Fyne premium loudspeakers and SuperTrax super tweeters, the SC1 uses high-purity OFC copper ribbon conductors to reduce magnetic eddy currents, which the company claims improves ultra-HF performance and transient behaviour.

Fyne further explains: “Optimised spacing using LPDE dielectric delivers exceptionally low capacitance and improved vibration damping. The SC1 incorporates a ground wire to reduce potential RFI in the signal, which is Deep Cryogenically Treated in Fyne’s in-house DCT facility. This innovative process, used extensively for Fyne’s UK-made crossovers, reduces internal stresses and refines the crystal boundaries of the copper and solder joints, further improving the performance. The cable is protected with a braided nylon sheath and supplied with high-quality, gold-plated spade and banana terminals in a presentation box.”

And that’s not all. Fyne is also preparing its Vintage Classic Gold SP Series, which the company is calling: “a genre-defining design immaculately finished, retro-styled loudspeaker with cutting-edge audio performance… Vintage Classic Gold SP bridges the gap between the simplified retro styling of the Vintage Classic Series loudspeakers and the High-End engineering and design concepts from the Vintage Series. Retaining the Classic rectangular cabinet shape, Gold SP (Special Production) brings high-density birch ply cabinet construction, IsoFlare drivers with improved neodymium tweeter and further revisions to the BassTrax 360° porting system for an even more refined and articulate bass.”

The Gold SP Series will launch in the Autumn in 8, 10, and 15 IsoFlare driver versions, with performance further enhanced through upgraded electronics. These will include fully Deep Cryogenically Treated (DCT) crossovers and upgraded internal wiring alongside gold-plated ETI terminals.

The SuperTrax Walnut speakers will set you back £3,500 per pair, the SuperTrax Gloss Black is £3,000 per pair and the SC1 cable is £350 per pair.
