B&C Speakers - FB464 16 Ohm Crossover

The B&C Speakers FB464 16 Ohm was developed to complement one of the brand's most comprehensive coaxial drivers: the DCX464.

Designed to work in tandem with the ME464 horn, it offers a passive solution that allows the full potential of this combination to be exploited, without the need for DSP or complex digital filtering. The result is a coherent, well-aligned, and ready-to-use source point.

The crossover operates at 3.6 kHz and uses an asymmetrical topology: 18 dB/octave for the rising section, 12 dB/octave for the falling section.

This approach smooths the transition between the DCX464's two diaphragms, while maintaining beautiful linearity and a well-controlled phase response. It's not just a question of curve: when listening, the gain is in clarity, consistency, and above all, comfort, even at high volumes.

Another clever feature: the presence of filament tubes in the circuit, which provide gentle protection against excessive power. This system preserves the driver over time, without distorting the signal or introducing audible coloration. It's discreet, but very useful, especially in professional settings where levels can quickly rise.

With its compact 100 x 110 mm size and standard mounting holes, the FB464 easily integrates into a custom speaker cabinet or OEM kit. And since it has an impedance of 16 ohms, it adapts seamlessly to most amplifiers available on the market.

In short, it's a well-designed, easy-to-use crossover designed for those who want to get straight to the point: getting the most out of the DCX464 without complicating things.
