Design Philosophy
Type F22A is a two-way compact bi-amplified active monitor system. It is specifically designed for the most accurate sound reproduction within the frequency range of the human ear. Type F22A is a reference playback system that has low frequency extension that is comparable to much larger systems.
In music, the middle C’s frequency is 261.6 Hz based on the equal temperament tuning. Middle C is located right in the middle of the human ear's to perceive a complex sound. The fundamental frequency of a musical pitch is often located in the range of 100-1000 Hz. Type F22A reproduces very linear and accurate sound reproduction at these frequencies, denoted by its linear frequency and phase response.

Technology
Type F22A utilizes modern digital processing. Hybrid minimum phase and linear phase filters are carefully implemented as the crossover and correction filters with low processing delay. As a result, type F22A maintains very flat phase response while utilizing exceptionally steep crossover filters to control out-of-band frequencies in each transducer. The flat phase response suggests that most frequencies arrive at the same time, in addition the waveform of the original signal from 100 Hz and up is precisely reproduced.
Type F22A features two 500 W @ 4 Ohms class-D amplifier modules. The ample power maintains a high crest factor for sound reproduction in the high frequency region with low levels of distortion. Each transducer is digitally protected from over loading and over excursion.

Presets
Type F22A features two voicings: a flat on-axis preset for a critical monitoring and a wide sweetspot for musicians/composers. The wide sweetspot preset is created by calculating and analyzing the power response of the monitor to accommodate the best off-axis listening experience.
The bass tilt presets are created with room acoustics in mind, where the corner frequency is not fixed, maintaining a very neutral and smooth overall response. The bass tilt presets will accommodate different sizes of rooms, including flush mounting compensation.

Structure
To maintain solid and tight low frequency performance, type F22A features an optimized vented cabinet design with an internally braced wood enclosure. The resonance within the cabinet is further minimized by the asymmetrical interior shape and the port is carefully optimized, resulting in very clean and transparent low and low mid frequency reproduction.
The input is a balanced female XLR connection with universal mains power supply.
