The design of a new apparatus for studying jet-cooled molecules, named FANTASIO, is described. It includes, around the same supersonic expansion cell, a high resolution Fourier transform spectrometer with single or multipass optics, a tunable diode laser spectrometer with optional cavity ring-down facilities, and a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Performances and operation procedures are illustrated.
