Product Description
The FBT PSR 212m floor monitor features 13 ply Baltic Birch plywood construction cabinetry in a low profile design, internally braced to
prevent undesirable cabinet vibrations. A rugged touring grade scratch resistant black paint finish protects the cabinets’ exterior.
A heavy duty perforated steel grille provides protection for the coaxial speaker. An integrated carrying handle is built into the cabinet
providing easy transportability.
The FBT PSR 212 is of two-way bass reflex design incorporating a Italian manufactured 12” B&C Custom coaxial woofer with a 3” voice coil
with aluminum windings and a concentric 2.6” B&C titanium compression driver with a 1.4” exit. The PSR 212m floor monitors dispersion
factor is 80° x 80°. The internal crossover is constructed with a military grade dual flooded fiberglass circuit board utilizing military spec
components including metallized polyester condensers, and large diameter choke coils. All crossover components are embedded in a
special resin to ensure total imperviousness to vibrations in operation and shock transmitted by mechanical impacts when transporting. The
internal crossover allows either full range or bi amplified operation by means of a jumper located internally on the crossover unit on the
underside of the rear control panel input plate. This type of selectable crossover frequency design provides against accidental crossover
settings when either full range or bi amplified operation is desired. When used in full range operation, the internal crossover frequency is
preset at 1.6khz (24dB oct). Recommended amplifier power output when used in full range operation is 600w RMS total and 600 w RMS LF,
160 w RMS HF when operated in bi amp mode. A sensitivity factor of 99 dB applies in full range mode and 99 dB LF, 108 dB HF in bi amp
mode. Frequency response is an ample 60Hz – 18kHz.
The rear facing input panel provides 2 Neutrik® Speakon NL-4 female connectors. FBT’s S.T.E.P.® (soft trip electronic protection) circuitry
ensures correct speaker operation even in overdriven conditions.
