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 oers a bi-
amplied 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-specic EQ switching. Along with user-
friendly rear-panel controls and a comfortably lightweight enclosure,
Fortis F-10BT also oers:
• 10” low-frequency speaker
• 1” titanium horn-loaded high-frequency compression driver
• Dedicated high- and low-frequency power amplication with
active crossover
• Universal power for 100V to 240V operation
• 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
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.
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” pushbut-
ton switch mixes left and right inputs and provides mono mix to
line output; in “Stereo” (down) position, it routes left channel to
internal amplier 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/amplier protection
limiter. Illuminates intermittently when system nears maximum
level; illuminates continuously when in system-protection mode.
E. FRONT LED SWITCH: Three-position switch congures bi-color
LED on the front of the enclosure to indicate power only (“power”
position), power and limiting (“limit” position) or complete deac-
tivation (“o” position).
F. EQ SWITCH:Three-position switch provides specic EQ proles,
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” posi-
tion).
G. LF SWITCH: Three-position EQ switch provides specic 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 bal-
anced 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 specications.
I. POWER SWITCH: Turns unit on and o.
