Fons F85S - Dual 8" Slim LCR On-Wall Speaker
The F85S presents an elegant and advanced three-way, five-driver audio system, ingeniously designed to be ultra-slim and wall-mountable. This compact powerhouse features a high-performance AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeter that delivers crisp, clear high frequencies. Complementing the tweeter, two 3-inch midrange drivers deliver a rich, balanced sound, capturing the nuances of vocals and instruments. Rounding out the ensemble, two 8-inch long-throw woofers provide deep, resonant bass, creating a full and immersive listening experience. All of these components are meticulously engineered and housed within a sleek chassis, offering versatile mounting options that integrate seamlessly into any space.
Product Features
HiFi Level Sound Quality
The Fons series inherits the four key performance characteristics of the Theatrus series: high sound pressure levels, exceptional power handling, outstanding dynamic performance, and low distortion. It delivers both impactful, cinema-grade audio and a clear, nuanced reproduction of sonic details. Equipped with dual independent mid-range drivers and finely tuned for high-frequency sensitivity, the F85S produces sound that is transparent and full-bodied, yet free from harshness. This performance creates a natural listening experience, rendering dialogue and music with authentic, captivating, and deeply engaging quality.
A Cost-Effective Choice
The Fons series is surprisingly affordable, as is standard for us, steering clear of the typical aloofness of high-end audio gear. Aperion genuinely delivers professional-grade sound quality while keeping prices friendly. We are dedicated to enabling everyday AV enthusiasts to enjoy high-performance custom home theater systems once accessible only to high-end audiophiles, all without breaking the bank.
Three Way Design
The Fons F85S features a three-way speaker design that delivers exceptional audio reproduction. It is meticulously equipped with an Aperion Air Motion tweeter, offering superior sensitivity and precise high-frequency detail; dual 3-inch midrange drivers that provide rich, natural midrange performance; and two 8-inch long-throw woofers that deliver a powerful, high-impact low-frequency soundstage.
Sealed Slim Cabinet Design
The Fons series is designed to efficiently transmit sound waves from the drivers to the listening area throughout the room, rather than allowing sound to linger near the wall. Its fully sealed enclosure prevents internal sound waves from leaking out and avoids unwanted reflections that can create ineffective standing waves. This optimizes direct sound propagation, ensuring effective acoustic energy reaches the listening positions across the room.
Robust Construction
The Fons series cabinets are made of MDF with a matte black or white finish that minimizes resonance. The black version has a non-reflective surface, ideal for dimly lit home theaters, while the white version complements bright, modern décor. Built for durability, the cabinets are solid and robust, with a fingerprint-resistant finish that makes maintenance easy.
Easy to Mount and Install
The Fons F85S speaker features 3 sets of mounting locations on its back, allowing for flexible installation in various orientations. Included in the box is our Stealth Wall Mount, making installation a breeze. Additionally, two rubber bumpers are included in the package.
Seamless Integration
Meticulously designed and repeatedly fine-tuned by our dedicated team of engineers, the Fons F85S was crafted with full consideration for compatibility with other Fons models. It combines aesthetic design and acoustic characteristics to ensure seamless integration, creating a harmonious, unified, and deeply immersive listening experience for you.
Quality Commitment
The Fons F85S comes with a five-year warranty and lifetime maintenance and support, showing our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Aperion's AMT (Air Motion Transformer) Tweeter
The Aperion Air Motion Transformer (AMT) tweeter delivers highly efficient sound energy conversion with a sensitivity of 94dB and a frequency response extending to 35kHz. Using pleated-diaphragm AMT technology, it delivers distortion-free, high-fidelity output with transparent highs and rich detail. Its wide horizontal dispersion expands the listening area, making it suitable for diverse applications—such as home theater systems—and satisfying audiophiles' demands for uncolored sound quality.
Dual 3" Midrange Drivers
To provide a more natural listening experience, the F85S features two precisely matched 3-inch paper-cone midrange drivers, which are symmetrically mounted on the cabinet. The custom damping compound on the cones not only gives them a striking, lustrous appearance but also effectively reduces midrange resonance. This careful design ensures that subtle vocal details—like breathiness—come through clearly while allowing for a smooth transition between high and low frequencies. As a result, listeners can enjoy a well-balanced, high-quality sonic performance across the entire sound spectrum.
Dual High-Excursion 8" Paper Cone Woofers
The F85S is equipped with dual 8-inch long-excursion woofers featuring paper cones, leveraging the inherent acoustic advantages of paper-cone material to deliver a signature low-frequency sound characterized by natural warmth. These drivers boast ideal damping properties, combining lightweight diaphragms with excellent sensitivity to ensure precise reproduction of low-frequency details alongside exceptional reliability and cost-effectiveness.
A specially designed high-elasticity central fold enhances diaphragm rigidity and fully unlocks the driver unit's long-excursion potential, delivering deeper low-frequency extension and more powerful dynamic output for an immersive listening experience.
Advanced Crossover
Time-intensive iterative designing and fine-tuning of the crossover network has resulted in a smoother, more neutral, and better-balanced frequency response across the whole range. Enhanced phase integration between the tweeter and woofer drivers has also resulted in a cleaner, more open sound in the transition regions.
All of the speakers in our Fons series are meticulously crafted with high-quality custom components, including Aperion's premium metallized polypropylene capacitors, copper wire inductors, and precision wirewound resistors.
These components come together to create an audio experience that is both beautiful and enjoyable.
In our relentless quest for excellence, we’ve even adorned the PCB in Aperion's signature red, a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional sound quality!
Flexible Application
The Fons series features an ultra-slim, minimalist design; the units are thin enough to be easily wall-mounted or recessed, saving space and fitting effortlessly into everything from compact apartments to narrow home cinema rooms. Even better, the series offers flexible compatibility across models, allowing you to freely mix and match components to build a complete Dolby Atmos home theater system—bringing a professional-grade cinematic experience right into your home.
Vertical and Horizontal Installation
To provide users with a more convenient operational experience, the Fons F85S features a thoughtful design that supports both vertical and horizontal placement.
Grille with Guide Socket
To safeguard the driver units of the Fons series from accidental bumps, pets, or curious little hands that might poke at the drivers, each model is designed with a detachable grille that snaps securely into place. When in use, this grille offers robust protection for the drivers while maintaining exceptional sound quality. However, if you want to show off the stunning craftsmanship of your speakers to your friends, the grille can be easily removed with a gentle pull—making it wonderfully convenient.
