רמקול מדפי - FM15 - GATO AUDIO

So we took the FM 15 GATO AUDIO off the shelves for review.

Yesterday evening I went to drink coffee at Yaniv's to pick up the GATO shelf speaker.

As I hung up in my room, after only fifteen minutes, I called Yaniv and said to him: "Yaniv!! I'm shocked, I'm leaving them at my place".

Yaniv said to me "Renew yourself, my friend"

Let's not talk about its color, its shiny finish, simply made of a work of art, the truth, I'm not surprised, if you look at my PRE and their other products, you will understand that GATO, the Danish, does not compromise on design either.

They have FM 8 shelves and there are FM 15. And why these numbers?

shows their volume. 8 equals 8 liters, 15 equals 15 liters.

Gato also used a model called FusedMASS

which basically consists of all kinds of different connections in different thicknesses and then connecting them with a special glue, so in this way the problem of the certificate was solved.

Usually filling the inside of the speaker had to suppress the speaker due to the special material that absorbs sound waves. However, this does not mean that some of the internal content is not compressed. But still everything is done with thought.

The version I have is walnut colored. And a first class veneer finish. Shiny and shiny color.

The front part is built with two SB ACUSCTICS drivers and of course the GATO AUDIO logo.

The upper part consists of a DOME RING, a 29 mm driver and a silk membrane diaphragm.

The function of the separation in the center of the dome is to reduce the distortion and transfer the acoustic center of the speaker to the coil (a huge advantage).

The grills are round and adjusted to each grill individually, with a magnet connection.

In the back they have a rear port which is actually a bass reflex.

Under the port there are two XLR-shaped sockets.

What is their role? Very interesting.

By plugging jumpers, you can change the crossover of the speaker

Choose more detail, or bass, etc.

And it works, unbelievable. Every change I made gave a different tone.

I left it on neutral.

There are a lot of Hiend parts inside the cross, out of six coils, only one is pierced.

Attention mainly to yellow polypropylene capacitors from the PMT series.

The internal wiring is made of copper braid with transparent insulation.

That is, both the internal and external appearance are among the finest.

The manufacturer recommends keeping a distance of about 50 cm from the side and rear walls. You must carefully choose the angle of the columns in the direction of the listening position - without this there is no question of tonal balance, sound purity and accuracy of targeting virtual sources.

Of course, my cow is also GATO. So probably all the tests done in the company were against their products. But what actually happens in every company.

Gato also includes a cover for the bass reflex in the back, for those who feel "bassy" too much.

I challenged the speakers quite a bit in all kinds of music styles.

How he "ate" everything.

including the dessert. :)

The separation was complete, the detail was amazing.

Simply enjoying any style of music.

I can write for hours on the speaker. :)


I'm less of a fan of rock etc.

But for jazz, classical, live instruments lovers this is the speaker for you
