Fender Fortis F-10BT Powered Loudspeaker

Fender’s Fortis F-10BT is an active two-way sound reinforcement
loudspeaker designed to deliver excellent delity, features, durability,
and ease of setup and use. Powerful and versatile, it oers a bi­amplied design, two input channels compatible with multiple signal
sources—including high-quality Bluetooth audio streaming, special
analog audio routing for true stereo pass-through when using two
enclosures, and application-specic EQ switching. Along with user­friendly rear-panel controls and a comfortably lightweight enclosure,
Fortis F-10BT also oers:

• 10” low-frequency speaker

• 1” titanium horn-loaded high-frequency compression driver

• Dedicated high- and low-frequency power amplication with
active crossover

• Universal power for 100V to 240V operation

Rear Panel Controls and Features

A. CHANNEL 1: Balanced line/mic input with combination XLR/

TRS input connector, volume control and “Line/Mic” pushbutton
switch.

ENGLISH

B. CHANNEL 2: Stereo Bluetooth and auxiliary input with volume

control, Bluetooth pairing button and blue status LED, and

3.5mm auxiliary input (interrupts Bluetooth signal when in use).

C. LOOP AND EXTENSION OUTPUTS: Balanced extension output

(right) with XLR-3M male connector sends signal to opposite
side of stage for stereo sound. Balanced loop output (left) with
XLR-3M male connector duplicates internal mixer output and
sends signal to additional Fortis speakers or subwoofers on same
side of stage. In “Mono” (up) position, “Mono/Stereo” pushbut­ton switch mixes left and right inputs and provides mono mix to
line output; in “Stereo” (down) position, it routes left channel to
internal amplier and right channel to line output. Note that Bal-

anced Extension Output (right) follows operation of “Mono/Stereo”
pushbutton switch.

D. LIMIT LED: Activity indicator for driver/amplier protection

limiter. Illuminates intermittently when system nears maximum
level; illuminates continuously when in system-protection mode.

• Front-facing bi-color Power/Limit LED

• Angled enclosure design with 30-degree tilt when used as a oor
wedge monitor

• Dual 35mm pole-mount sockets for vertical mounting when
stage is at audience level and and 7.5-degree downward angle
when stage is above audience level

• Built-in M10 suspension hardware

• Flush-mount side handle

• Rugged perforated steel grille

• Void-free plywood enclosure construction for superior sound,
ruggedness and durability

position), power and limiting (“limit” position) or complete deac­tivation (“o” position).

F. EQ SWITCH: Three-position switch provides specic EQ proles,

including mild high-frequency boost for increased sparkle and
chime (“High” position), slight midrange boost for greater voice
clarity (“Mid” position) and attest speaker response (“Flat” posi­tion).

G. LF SWITCH: Three-position EQ switch provides specic low-end

tone shaping. Includes low-frequency boost ideal, for example, for
DJs who want to provide increased bass (“Boost” position); attest
speaker response (“Flat” position); and built-in high-pass lter that
removes low frequencies such that an external subwoofer can be
added to the system to achieve greater volume with overall bal­anced response, and also compensate for naturally occuring bass
boost when enclosure is placed on its side and “coupled” to the
oor (“Sub/Mon” position).

H. POWER CORD: Connect to a grounded outlet in accordance with

the voltage and frequency specications.

I. POWER SWITCH: Turns unit on and o.

E. FRONT LED SWITCH: Three-position switch congures bi-color

LED on the front of the enclosure to indicate power only (“power”
