FBT JOLLY J5AW Active Speaker 2-way 120W

The new J series is a technologically advanced range of products that improves on the performance of the previous Jolly line.  The new J series is a competitive, value for money range of speakers.
The range is based on the development of three new high efficiency class-D amplifiers with power specifications of 350 + 100W for the J 15A & J 12A, 200 + 50W for the J 8A and 80 + 40W for the J 5A. 

These amplifiers have been designed 'from the ground up' in FBT’s R&D laboratories.
The largest amplifier model that equips the J 15A and J 12A has a switch mode power supply as well as a digital signal processor with 4 pre-sets.

The J 8A and J 5A amplifiers have toroidal transformer power supplies. The J 8A has a digital signal processor with 2 pre-sets, whilst the J 5A has analog signal processing.

The speakers have been completely redesigned, introducing the technological developments of recent years to achieve a far superior efficiency and linearity.

Following from the new J series, FBT bring you the DJ 15A, designed with today’s modern DJ in mind.  The DJ 15A has invaluable features allowing quality audio playback using our revolutionary DSP technology.  This includes 4 presets enabling the DJ to change the sound of their music to suit the environment they play within.

These DSP presets will allow the DJs audience to enjoy improved sound quality and SPL, especially in bass reproduction at high volume.

The DJ 15A also has another useful feature for DJs, including a two channel input mixer allowing the DJ to plug a music source and microphone direct into the speaker, giving separate control over volume for both devices.  You can also daisy chain these speaker together if required.  Ideal for many application of today’s modern DJ.

Comprising four versatile loudspeaker enclosures for either portable use or fixed installation, FBT is debuting the VENTIS range at Pro Light + Sound 2016. Available in either passive or bi-amplified versions, each of the models – the VENTIS 115, 112, 110, and 206 – has been designed to meet the highest standards in both performance and aesthetic appeal.

For the VENTIS range, quality and flexibility are the watchwords. Based on a powerful combination of B&C compression drivers and FBT’s own custom, long excursion woofers, the 115, 112 and 110 models are two-way, bass reflex designs housed in 15mm birch plywood. A full-grille design backed by specially treated acoustic cloth delivers the characteristic style for which FBT is known, while fully rotatable constant directivity horns ensure accurate coverage.

The three enclosures are as suitable for fixed installation as they are for use on the stage. M10 points are included as standard while an optional U-bracket can be used for wall-mounting. For use on the road, the  VENTIS models include aluminum handles with rubber inserts, a 35mm polemount socket, and a 45° sloped profile for unobtrusive placement on-stage as a monitor.

Meanwhile the multi-purpose VENTIS 206 can be deployed as a front fill, an under-balcony fill, as a main providing pristine speech intelligibility or simply as the full-range companion of a subwoofer. Constructed in 12mm birch plywood, the 206 has an integrated rear handle, an optional mounting bracket and, most importantly, an astonishing size to SPL ratio.

Power for the active VENTIS models comes courtesy of a specially designed, Italian made switching mode amplifier module. Low frequencies are driven by a highly efficient 700W RMS (full bridge) Class-D topology, operating with extremely low THD. For the HF stage, a 200W RMS performance is delivered via a meticulously crafted Class-H / AB design.

Finally, DSP on-board the VENTIS enclosures is both user friendly and powerful. Located on the rear of each enclosure, a menu-driven system is navigated via a single rotary control with push-to-select functionality. A total of 6 pre-optimised settings are available (see below), plus 2 further slots for users to form their own designs, using 5 parametric equalizers per slot. Also available is a high-pass filter, a mic/line selector, low, mid and high tone settings and an optional delay of between 0 and 3.5 metres. Finally, users can exclusively choose between two limiter modes, MAX-SPL or MAX-QUALITY, to best suit their performance.

The bi-amplified Genelec 4040A is a powerful but compact two way active loudspeaker designed for fixed installations.

As an active loudspeaker, it contains drivers, power amplifiers, active crossover filters and protection circuitry. This integrated design makes installations easier and more efficient as separate power amplifiers are not needed.

The MDETM (Minimum Diffraction EnclosureTM) loudspeaker enclosure is made of die-cast aluminium and shaped to reduce edge diffraction.

Combined with the advanced Directivity Control WaveguideTM (DCWTM), this design provides excellent frequency balance in difficult acoustic environments.

The 4040A is equipped with practical tone controls for calibrating the loudspeakers according to their environment.

Automatic protection circuits for amplifiers and loudspeaker drivers combined with the rugged metal enclosure ensure reliability for years to come.

The versatile mounting features include integrated rear support points for wall and floor stands plus a further M10 thread for mounting on the enclosure base.
