<h4><strong>With the new HiMaxX series, FBT establishes a reference</strong>.</h4><p> The study of a <strong>new cabinet in polypropylene</strong>, the use of a <strong>switch mode power supply and high efficiency power amplifiers and the redesign of the loudspeakers</strong> were the activities of the FBT R&D team aimed at maximizing the power weight ratio.<br> This series comprises <strong>three models</strong>; two 2-way full-range enclosures in polypropylene, <strong>HiMaxX 40</strong> (12”+1”) and <strong>HiMaxX 60</strong> (15’’+1.4”), plus a compact 18’’ bandpass SUB in birch plywood (<strong>HiMaxX 100Sa</strong>).<br> <strong>Compact and light weight</strong>, HiMaxX brilliantly solve all the most demanding requests from buffs, musicians and professionals looking for <strong>powerful, versatile and very high quality</strong> loudspeaker enclosures. Ideal for live and sound reinforcement applications requiring ease of transport, they are also suited to <strong>fixed installations</strong>, thanks to the cabinets’ format and optional accessories.</p> <p> </p> <ul> <li>A powerful dynamic design for aggressive clean-cut lines. <strong>A sturdy light-weight box that ensures great versatility</strong> and is ready for installation, thanks to its special mounting points and optional accessories. The asymmetrical design enables the enclosures to be used as stage monitors.</li> <li>A specially designed control panel ensures <strong>ease of use and intuitive control</strong>. Mic/line input, auxiliary stereo input with (HiMaxX 40a), 3-band EQ, ground-lift, diagnostic LED.</li> <li>Loudspeaker totally redesigned in collaboration with B&C. FBT studied and designed a <strong>special chassis, a more efficient ventilation circuit</strong> with a consequent reduction of 2dB “power compression”, <strong>a considerably stiffer cone</strong> to improve reliability and distortion and an even <strong>more powerful neodymium magnet</strong> to increase control and efficiency. The voice coil has a diameter of 75 mm (3”) for <strong>higher power handling and reliability</strong>.</li> <li><strong>B&C compression</strong> driver with a 25 mm (1’’) throat and 44 mm (1.7’’) coil (HiMaxX 40) for high power handling. Thanks to the use of a <strong>shorting copper cap</strong>, high frequencies are even more dynamic and crystal-clear.</li><li>The development of the innovative amplifier is the result of years of research by the FBT R&D labs. It manages to combine the contrasting features of <strong>lightness, high power, efficiency and reliability</strong>, using the very latest technology. <strong>A switch mode power supply</strong> to reduce the weight and increase the power output velocity, a very high performance <strong>PWM amplifier for the low frequencies</strong>, to maximize the power fed out with minimum heat dissipation. <strong>A Class G amplifier for the high frequencies</strong> enables to achieve the audio quality of a Class A, with a much higher output.</li> <li><strong>The silent preamplifier</strong> manufactured with SMD technology has the job of handling the equalization, 24dB/oct crossover, sophisticated protections, limiter and the commands of the control panel.</li> <li><strong>The horn’s profile</strong> has been <strong>redesigned </strong>to ensure greater directivity control and lower distortion. The dispersion angle is 90°H x 60°V.</li> <li><strong>Research work carried out with the university on the cabinet’s resonance and the fl uid dynamics</strong> of the air led to the manufacture of a box in polypropylene with injection of absolutely inert GAS and efficient reflex ducts free from undesired turbulence.</li> </ul>
