Product Description 

 

The FBT PSR 230 Speaker features 13 ply Baltic Birch plywood construction cabinetry in a trapezoidal design, internally 

braced to prevent undesirable cabinet vibrations.  

A rugged touring grade scratch resistant black paint finish protects the cabinet exterior.  
A heavy duty perforated steel grille provides protection for the woofers and horn.  Strategically placed integrated carrying 

handles built into the cabinet lend to easy transportability. Six ATM manufactured M-10 fly points are provided allowing single 
speaker or multiple speaker cluster suspension.  
The FBT PSR 230 is of two-way bass reflex design incorporating Two Italian manufactured 15” FBT proprietary design low 
frequency woofers with 4” voice coils with aluminum windings and a 3” B&C titanium compression driver coupled to a B&C 
Aluminum 60° x 40° horn with a 2” exit. 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 1.3khz (24dB 
oct). Recommended amplifier power output when used in full range operation is 1600w RMS total and 1600 w RMS LF, 160 
w RMS HF when operated in bi amp mode. A sensitivity factor of 102dB applies in full range mode and 102 dB LF, 108 dB 
HF in bi amp mode. Frequency response is an ample 40Hz - 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.
