Frequently Asked Questions - J Series FBT

What are the available models in the FBT J Series?

The J Series includes J 5A, J 5, J 5T, J 8A, J 8, J 12A, J 12, and J 15A, J 15. Active versions end with "A", passive versions do not, and the J5T is a 70V/100V line transformer model.

What is the power output of the active J Series speakers?

Active models feature Class D amplifiers: 80W + 40W for J5A, 200W + 50W for J8A, and 350W + 100W for J12A and J15A (RMS for LF/HF respectively).

What type of tweeter is used in the J Series?

All models use a 1" neodymium silk dome tweeter with voice coil sizes ranging from 0.75" (J5 models) to 1" (J8 and larger).

Can the J Series speakers be used as stage monitors?

Yes, the J Series is recommended for stage monitors and personal monitoring. Models like J12A and J15A include a FLOOR/VOCAL equalization preset specifically for high-clarity vocal reproduction and stage monitoring.

How do I connect multiple speakers using the LINK output?

The LINK output allows you to connect multiple speakers to the same signal. Simply run a balanced cable from the IN socket of the first speaker to the LINK socket of the next, and so on. For passive models with Speakon connectors, the IN & LINK are wired in parallel, so you can daisy-chain speakers.

What should I do if the PRT/LMT LED lights up?

The PRT/LMT LED indicates a system malfunction, such as an internal amplifier failure or the intervention of current limiting circuits against thermal overload. Check for overheating, reduce the signal level, and if the issue persists, refer the unit to qualified service personnel.

How do I mount the J Series speakers on a wall?

Use the SJ-5U (for J5), SJ-8U (for J8), or BOX-112 (for J12/J15) horizontal wall brackets. Secure the bracket to the wall with screws in all fixing holes, place the speaker between the arms, and fix it with the M10 cylinder-headed screw. A secondary safety cable is essential.

What is the power supply requirement for the J5A?

The J5A operates on 220-230V ~50/60Hz (or 120V ~60Hz for the 120V version) and consumes approximately 75VA. It uses a T630mAL-250V fuse for 230V or T1.6AH-250V for 120V.

How should I clean the J Series speakers?

Clean only with a dry cloth. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Never allow moisture to enter the cabinet or the electronics.

Which equalization preset should I use for DJ applications?

For DJ applications, select the CLUB/DJ preset on J12A or J15A. This preset provides the punch and full-bodied response required by DJ users, suitable for high-volume disco and party applications.

XLR connections

The XLR connection is a type of balanced connection that allows the connection of devices over long distances without loss of quality due to the background noise detected. This is made possible by the presence, as well as by the mass (pin 1), of two cables: a signal cable (pin 2) and a 180° dephased signal cable (pin 3); at the opposite end of the signal source, on both these cables, in addition to the actual signal, the same quantity and type of background noise possibly detected along the path or inevitably produced by the cables (not the one for thermal agitation) will be present in phase. The signal will then be taken from the two cables by difference: in this way the useful part will be double amplitude while the noise detected or produced along the path, being present in phase on both cables, will be cancelled by the difference operation. In the three-pin version it is normally used for the termination of balanced audio lines but it is often also used for unbalanced signals creating a short circuit between the mass and the cold pin. The EIA RS-297-A standard requires that the three-pin XLR connectors for balanced audio are wired as shown in fig.

NEUTRIK XLR/JACK - Combo

Speakon

Speakon connectors are connected in parallel mode. One connector can be used to connect the box to the output of a power amplifier, the other to connect to a second box. Loudspeaker cables shall have the adequate diameter, depending on the overall lenght of the connection. The resistance introduced by an inadequate wiring towards the loudspeakers would reduce both the power output and the damping factor of the loudspeaker. Speakon is a connector which is specially adapted for connecting power terminals to loudspeakers; when inserted in an appropriate socket it locks so as to prevent accidental disconnection; moreover, it is equipped with protection against electrical shocks and guarantees correct polarisation.

Jack

The Jacks are typical connectors for the transporting of two separate signals through two channels, left and right, using a single connector and therefore they can be either mono or stereo. Mono jack (TS) also known as unbalanced jacks, are recognisable from stereo or balanced jacks (TRS) by their composition. The point of the mono jacks is divided into two parts, tip and ground (Tip and Slave) to which the two poles are connected; the stereo or balanced jacks are divided in three parts, as they have a central ring (Ring) which is connected to a second wire, the third (negative) pole.

Connection cables - BALANCED

On model «J 5" jack socket (A) and terminals (B) are connected in parallel. Either the jack or the terminals musi be used lo connect the speaker lo the output of a power amplifier or a mixer with built-in amplifier. Use the remaining connection to hook up a second system.

The «J 5T» model is equipped with a line transformer. Therefore, the power amplifier must feature constant 100V or 70V voltage outputs. The loudspeakers, connected in parallel to the amplifier output, will make it easy to amplify the system deriving from any of the speakers installed previously, if necessary; in the same manner loudspeakers which are no longer necessary can be eliminateci. In the connections, the «phase» both ofthe individuai speakerto its transformer and the in-parallel connection of speakers must be respected.

The input voltage of the speaker must correspond to the output voltage of the amplifier; the sum total of the rated power outputs of all the speakers connected to the line must not exceed that of the amplifier. Before any connection adjust the input voltage and output power by acting on the two selectors (C).

3. Secure the bracket to the wall by means of screws, in all its fixing holes.
4. Place the speaker between the two bracket arms and fix it using the M10 cylinder-headed screw.
5. Use the other M6 cylinder-head screw for orienting the speaker as preferred.

Installation on tripod stand

All J satellites are designed to be installed on floor stand. Such installation will allow medium-high frequency sources to be better aligned to listener's ear.

Make sure that the stand can bear speaker's weight.
• Piace the stand on a flat and antislip surface.
- Widen stand base as much as possible to increase its stability.
