Looking for an affordable FRFR floor monitor for Fractal FM9

[Ole]

Those are not flat floor wedges

You are right, I missed the "wedge" part. Could be tilted and used as such with no problems though.

Hi all! Looking for a budget-friendly FRFR floor wedge for my Fractal FM9. Budget is $450–$550 / €425–€525. 8–10", fairly flat, light, and loud enough for rehearsal/small gigs.

Any first-hand experiences? What FRFR wedge are you using with your FM9 (or FM3/Axe-Fx), and why?

I'm going to recommend something probably noone else will. The older Electrovoice ZXA1 monitor worked absolutlely great for me and is about 400.00 used, and maybe you can even find a better deal than that. It's extremely lightweight, sounds great, and took as much volume as I needed for a loud rock band with a loud stage volume. I have others that have different qualities, but I actually prefer this over some of my more expensive powered monitors when I used it with my AX8. (and an Ampero StageII). . Your mileage might vary, and some won't consider it as it doesn't cost enough, or is plastic. .

You might try to find a used Yamaha DXR8 or DXR10. Nexo FIR processing, good power, useful for more than just a wedge.

Krark Teknik, Ultranet, is that a Behringer?

Music Tribe bought Turbosound in 2012.

Thanks for all the replies so far, its been helpfull!

A few of you pointed out that my original budget might be a bit optimistic for a good, gig-worthy FRFR wedge.

I’ve decided to increase the budget and I’m now looking in the up to around $800-900 / €750-850 range for a solid FRFR floor monitor that will work well with my FM9 for rehearsals and small gigs.

If that changes your recommendations, I’d really appreciate hearing about them.

Also very interested in real-world experiences from people using these wedges specifically with Fractal (FM9/FM3/Axe-Fx), rather than just spec sheet impressions.

Thanks again!

That puts you in the range of a used EV PXM-12MP wedge. If I wanted a wedge I would buy that one.

But a pair of Fender FR-12 FRFR's, use the tilt legs for "wedge" mode, and run them in stereo!
