Main features
The Fenton SHFT52B is not just about aesthetics; its internal architecture is designed to separate frequencies and deliver them with clarity:
-
3-Way System: Unlike conventional 2-way speakers, this model divides the audio spectrum into three ranges. Highs are handled by a 1-inch tweeter, mids by two 3-inch drivers, and lows by the dedicated side-mounted subwoofer.
-
6.5" Side-Firing Subwoofer: By placing the bass driver on the side, Fenton manages to keep the front of the speaker incredibly thin while providing the resonance and bass punch needed for action movies and full-bodied music.
-
Extended Frequency Range: With a response ranging from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, these speakers cover the entire audible spectrum, ensuring that you don't miss the lowest rumble or the most subtle detail of a violin.
-
Efficiency and Compatibility: With a sensitivity of 88dB and a standard impedance of 8 Ohms, they are easy to power and compatible with the vast majority of home AV amplifiers and receivers on the market.
Benefits of the SHFT52B system
For users looking to improve the sound of their television or stereo system without filling the room with bulky equipment, the SHFT52B speakers are the perfect solution. Their slim design allows them to be placed next to furniture or flat-screen TVs without looking out of place. Furthermore, thanks to the integrated subwoofer in each tower, you get a full bass response without the need to install an additional external subwoofer in the room, saving space and cables.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these speakers active or passive?
These are passive speakers. This means they need to be connected to an external amplifier or receiver via speaker wire to function. They don't plug directly into a power outlet.
Do I need an additional subwoofer?
For most standard music listening and home theater use, the 6.5" side-mounted subwoofer in each tower provides sufficient bass. However, for extreme bass enthusiasts in cinematic settings, a dedicated subwoofer can always be added, although it's not strictly necessary for enjoying a full sound experience.
What type of connection do they use?
They feature standard clamp or screw terminals on the back for connecting the stripped speaker wire, ensuring a firm and direct connection to your amplifier.
Where should I place the side subwoofer?
It is recommended to leave a small space (at least 20-30 cm) between the side of the speaker where the subwoofer is located and the nearest wall or piece of furniture to allow the bass to "breathe" and project correctly in the room.
