FPS INC.

Next Generation Plane Wave Speaker with MCMA Technology

‐Multi Cell Microtransducer Array‐

Leading Company of Plane Wave Speaker

Lightweight and Compact

Strong Directivity

High Water Resistance

True Sound

Highly Recyclable

Quick Rising Time

Minimum Acoustic Feedback

Plane wave sound have lower attenuation since the wave advance only to

the forward and easy to control the sound spreading area.

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.

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.

Planar wave speakers are much less susceptible to acoustic feedback. One can place

speakers anywhere at conference halls, school auditoriums and meeting rooms,

without the fear of feedback.

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/­fth 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.

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.

Recycling rates: Cone speakers 35%-65%,

FPS speakers 99.5% (maximum depending on products)

The bene­ts of being light and compact can curtail necessary energy, resources,

transportation cost and storage cost. Thus, our products is very eco-friendly.

Characteristics of the Plane Wave created by FPSCharacteristics of the Plane Wave created by FPSThe New Sound

Our company name FPS is stands for Flat Panel Speakers. FPS Flat Panel Speakers use "Plane wave" technology. This technology is quite differ-ent 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 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 with only 7mm~15mm of thickness. This groundbreaking theory, will change the way people view acoustic sound forever.

MCMA (Multi Cell Microtransducer Array) TechnologyThe MCMA Transducer was developed by our company and has already granted patents in Japan and other countries. FPS Flat Panel Speaker is the 21st century’s 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.

Sound waves carry in all direction Sound waves are very directional

High directivity, durability and far reach clear sound effectively func-tion on the places with noise.

Far reaching clear sound without feeling noisy near speakers Endur-able, ompact, loyal to the original sound…, those are the outstand-ing characteristics of our Flat Panel Speakers.

■ Places many people get together Facilities for entertainment Hospital waiting lounge

■ Outside use Station yard and platform Busy downtown Outdoor event Outdoor large-sized monitor

The characteristics of plane wave enable new sounds produce.

Utilizing strait ahead sound and reflection (ex. sound comes from glass surface)

■ Faintly hear birds song

■ Different sound from speakers

set side by side

■ Unexpected sounds produce

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.

■ BGM at swimming pools

■ BGM at Spas

Water and humidity resistant Flat Panel Speakers Suitable for Aqua-related facilities.

■ For Acoustic concert

■ For Classical music concert

Suitable for concerts focussed on the quality of original sound. Flat Panel Speakers delivers comfortable sound from close to far distance.

Flat Panel Speaker

Sound pixel type with multiple voice coils. Core is 7mm~15mm thick.

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 source　1/R　（R is distance） 5 m distance - Less than 1/5

Singular voice coils.

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.

Application is limited due to its resistance to heat and moisture.
