Frequently Asked Questions - FT7RP FOSTEX

How do I connect the Fostex FT7RP speakers to my amplifier?

Connect the amplifier's speaker outputs to the binding post terminals on the back of each speaker. Make sure to match the positive and negative terminals and use quality speaker cables with banana plugs or bare wire.

What is the recommended amplifier power for the FT7RP?

The FT7RP is rated for 30 W to 100 W of power. An amplifier delivering between 20 W and 80 W per channel is recommended for optimal performance.

Can I use the FT7RP for home theater surround sound?

Yes, the FT7RP can be used as front, center, or surround speakers in a home theater system. For best results, match the other speakers in timbre and use a subwoofer for low frequencies.

How should I position the FT7RP speakers for the best soundstage?

Place the speakers at ear height, angled slightly toward the listening position. Keep them at least 20 cm (8 inches) away from the wall to allow the bass reflex port to work correctly.

What are the impedance and sensitivity of the FT7RP?

The nominal impedance is 8 ohms, and the sensitivity is 88 dB at 1 W/1 m. This makes them compatible with most integrated amplifiers and receivers.

How do I clean the Fostex FT7RP speakers?

Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe the cabinet and drivers. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. For grilles, gently vacuum with a brush attachment.

Are spare parts available for the FT7RP?

Yes, common replacement parts such as drivers and crossover components are available from Fostex authorized service centers. Contact customer support for availability.

Can I bi-wire or bi-amp the FT7RP?

The binding posts are linked by default for single-wiring. To bi-wire, remove the metal jumpers between the terminals and connect separate cables to each pair, using a compatible amplifier with dual outputs.

What is the frequency response of the FT7RP?

The frequency response is approximately 50 Hz to 20 kHz, which covers the audible range well for a bookshelf loudspeaker.

Is the FT7RP magnetic shielded?

If the model is not specifically designated as shielded, avoid placing it directly next to CRT monitors or magnetic media. Modern LCD/LED displays are generally unaffected.
