A Comparison

The difference between the FONIX 6500-CX and the FONIX FP40 


Advantages of the FONIX 6500-CX :

1. More Accurate Coupler Microphone
The heart of the #1 clinical analyzer in the world. One reason why hearing aid manufacturers world-wide use FONIX.
2. Hand-Held QPII Remote Control
Provides added user flexibility during real ear testing.
3. Multiple Location Setup Capability
Ideal for the crowded office or future expansion. This feature lets you set up two, three, or four Real Ear work stations from just one 6500-CX.
4. Faster Real-Time Testing
(8 x sec. vs. 1 x sec.) See hearing aid response curves change "instantly" on your video monitor. A great tool to use during real ear fittings.
5. Better Sound Chamber Isolation
The larger chamber provides more ambient noise protection for a higher degree of testing accuracy.
6. Faster Printer
For busy offices, the new CX printer provides single curves in only 7 seconds and ANSI or Real Ear tests in 12 seconds.
7. Real Ear Speaker & Remote Control Footswitch
These two standard accessories give you the added flexibility of different speaker positioning and "hands-free" testing. Extra speaker & stand or swing arm optional on FP40.
8. User Selectable General Set-Up Menu
Select up to 5 user-defined testing parameters.
9. Time and Date Stamp
Automatic record keeping.
10. More Testing Capabilities
a. I/O (selectable inputs)
b. Attack & Release
c. Telecoil (standard with 6500-CX)
d. Star (Adaptive AGC, & Variable AGC)
e. In-Situ / 2cc
f. RBX Battery Drain (hours & curves)
g. More Multi-Curve Storage
h. Cursor & Relative Function
i. Bias tone testing in Digital Speech-in-Noise
j. Enhanced DSP Testing

Advantages of the FP40/FP40D

1. Portability
Take it where you need to go. The FP40 comes with a built-in hard case. The FP40D has an optional soft carrying case.
2. DSL
The FP40 has one of the most up-to-date built-in DSL fitting formulas available. In fact, we are responsible for the update resulting in the University of Western Ontario's DSL 4.1 program.
3. Affordability

A FONIX FP40 with Probe, Composite/Real-time test including Digital Speech, CIC, Additional Test Sequence, ANSI 96, VGA Color Video Monitor, and Telecoil is $8095.00. A FONIX 6500-CX with the Multiple Option Package, ANSI 96, and QuikProbe II is $13,690.00.
