FiiO, the renowned hi-fi brand celebrated for its high-quality audio gear, is making a bold move into the world of professional audio with the launch of the SP5 active speaker system. Combining cutting-edge engineering with innovative audio features, the SP5 aims to set a new standard for powered speakers at an accessible price point. Priced at $749 / £709, these speakers are designed to elevate your home studio, desktop setup, or lounge listening experience.
Meticulous Acoustic Design and Engineering
The SP5 stands out with its meticulously crafted acoustic architecture. Each speaker is powered by a dual power supply system, with a dedicated 120W supply for each channel. This independent configuration ensures consistent power delivery, reduces cross-channel interference, and provides a level of sonic stability typically found only in high-end component systems.
At the core of the SP5 is an independent 4-channel amplifier, delivering 60W + 20W per speaker. This setup allows for discrete amplification of both the 5.25-inch Rohacell-cone bass driver and the 1-inch composite silk dome tweeter. The Rohacell material used in many high-end speakers ensures ultra-low distortion and tight, responsive lows, while the rear cavity-enhanced tweeter with an internal magnet provides smooth, detailed highs without sacrificing clarity.
Customizable Sound and Versatile Connectivity
The SP5 offers a 3-band bass and treble adjustment system, including dual-frequency bass extension options, enabling precise tuning to suit your environment and preferences. Whether you’re mixing, working at a desktop, or simply enjoying music, these adjustments provide tailored sound performance.
Connectivity options are comprehensive, supporting AUX, RCA, XLR, and USB Type-C inputs making the SP5 compatible with a broad range of analog and digital sources. Each input retains its own independent volume memory, so your preferred levels are saved for easy recall. A high-precision, low-noise encoder allows for stepless, electronic volume adjustment via the front control knob, ensuring zero resolution loss across the spectrum.
Wireless Streaming and Remote Control
Taking advantage of modern wireless technology, the SP5 supports high-definition Bluetooth codecs such as LDAC and aptX Adaptive, enabling lossless wireless streaming with minimal latency. Control is effortless through the FiiO Control App (available on iOS and Android), which offers 10-band PEQ tuning and comprehensive speaker configuration accessible from your phone, tablet, or laptop.
Seamless Integration and User-Friendly Features
Designed for versatile setups, the SP5 includes built-in trigger input support allowing it to power on automatically in sync with your other gear, making it ideal for home studio integration. Additional features include a custom IR remote, RGB LED indicators(color-coded to show input source), and a tactile volume knob for immediate manual control.
To ensure optimal power quality, the SP5 comes with two Furukawa oxygen-free copper power cables, providing clean power delivery and maximum electrical conductivity.
Complementary Equipment and Availability
The SP5 is pictured alongside the new FiiO K15 DAC, headphone amplifier, and streamer, highlighting its role within a comprehensive audio setup.
Availability is scheduled for September 2025, with a retail price of $749 / £709.
