FBT ARCHON 108 Passive speaker, 2 way 350W

Archon - A new generation of improved speakers for modern indoor spaces

The Archon series of full-range and bi-amped speaker systems have been designed to provide ample bandwidth and high SPL for an accurate sound reproduction in the most various  application projects.

With the Archon series FBT wants to meet today’s expectations of the installed sound market: a new generation of improved speakers responding to high quality sound requirements for  modern indoor spaces.

The FBT Archon series lines up three 2-way full range/bi-amp models and three 2-way full range compact models; in addition, two low-profile subwoofers (2x8” and 2x15”) increase the low frequency extension of the desired systems. All Archon speakers are elegantly designed and crafted to meet the most demanding architectural design.

The FBT Archon series has been engineered to fulfill the need of high quality sound in bars, pubs, restaurants, retail shops, clubs, entertainment venues, fitness centers, conference  rooms, theatres, educational institutions, houses of worship, museums, exhibition centers, cruise ships, corporate A/V, granting excellent speech intelligibility, wide and precise band coverage, ease of installation thanks to the flexible mounting hardware.

The P4228 is a weatherproof full range, wide-dispersion, two way loudspeaker system offering substantial power and efficiency for a variety of professional indoor or outdoor applications.

The high frequency section is a constant directivity CMD horn loaded with a 1.4” RCF Precision Neodymium compression driver with a 2.5” diaphragm assembly for smooth, wide dispersion. The low-frequency transducer is a double 8” woofer with a 2.5” voice coil.  The cabinet is asingle piece rotational moulded in medium density polyethylene, full UV protected. The cabinet is equipped with 4 x M8 brass inserts, a stainless steel U-Bracket. The front logo is in aluminium and rotatable. The grille is in custom perforated aluminium with open-cell fibres and water repellent woven fabric backing. P 4228 is suitable for indoor and outdoor applications/installations, it meets the requirements of IP 55 code (International Protection Rating).

The D 8 is a light-weight, robust 8“/1”, 2-way plastic cabinet for professional sound reinforcement applications. With a variety of suspension accessories and conservative cosmetics, the D 8 is ideally suited to be used in demanding fixed installations.
The cabinet is manufactured from ABS and therefore is extremely resistant against abuse on the road. For low and mid frequencies a DYNACORD DND8200-8 neodymium transducer is used. The Electro-Voice DH3 driver is used for the projection of the high frequencies. The Constant-Directivity HF horn has been integrated into the baffle by CAD methods. The nominal coverage angle of the cabinet is 90°*90°, horizontal*vertical, respectively.
Power handling of the cabinet is 250 W (rated) and 1000W (peak). The maximum sound pressure level is 124 dB, the frequency range of the D 8 is from 65Hz to 20kHz. The D 8 is ideally suited for applications as full-range cabinet or as Mid-Hi cabinet in high-performance small-format active and passive satellite systems.
Every transducer is protected against short-term thermal overload with thermal cutout switches and halogen protectors. In case of a potential thermal overload the power applied to the speakers is reduced to a safe level. The protection exhibits ʽsoftʼ switching characteristics, so no annoying clicks or pops are audible. The circuitry automatically resets after the voice coil temperature has reached a safe value.
Extremely durable acoustic foam mounted to a strong powder-coated steel grille protects the loudspeaker components against any mechanical damage. The trapezoidally shaped enclosure also allows employing the cabinet in monitoring applications. A stable, integrated carrying handle and the integrated stand socket for pole-mount stands allow easy transportation and set-up. A protective cover is available as an optional accessory.

The JBL Control 128W premium in-wall speaker designed for applications where top performance is required. The high performance 8 inch wooer features apolymer-coated aluminum cone with pure butyl rubber surround. The 1" pure titanium dome tweeter is mounted on a low-diffraction swivel-mounting system enabling the user to direct high frequencies where required without the diffraction distortion inherent in other aimable tweeter designs.

JBL Control 128W at a Glance:

• 30 Hz - 20 kHz frequency range.
  
• 120W continuous program (60W cont. pink, 240W cont. peak).
  
• 90 dB sensitivity (1W/1m).
  
• High-slope crossover network produces natural sound and even coverage.
  
• Optional MTC-128RIF Rough-In-Frame for new construction installation to wallstuds.
