FBT Vertus CS1000: compact line array for live and fixed installations

Built with a modular and scalable design, This audio solution incorporates a bi-amplified system composed of a Bass reflex subwoofer 12 Great excursion inches and a passive satellite.

The compact CS1000 line array is the latest addition to FBT has made its line Vertus. Designed as a solution for live performances and installations, Delivers high performance in a modular, scalable design. Features a lightweight structure, although robust, which allows to be mounted on stage in a short time or installed, for high-quality sound with controlled directivity.

It is a bi-amplified system composed of a bass reflex subwoofer of 12 inches of great excursion and a passive satellite that connects to the subwoofer by means of a Neutrik Speakon connector equipped with six full range neodymium motors of 3 Inch.

The subwoofer integrates a two-channel Class D amplifier with switching source, that delivers 600 W RMS to subwoofer and 400 W RMS to satellite. To facilitate storage and transport, The subwoofer box has a satellite compartment and the supplied mounting mast, with a special locking system.

Like the rest of FBT products, whose brand distributes Magnetron, This equipment stands out for its elegant and efficient engineering, which is reflected in the satellite mounting mast. Consisting of three sections, The mast allows you to adjust the height according to the needs. A special joint allows it to be oriented vertically to achieve the desired coverage in any room.

The satellite's stylized proportions offer a horizontal dispersion of 110°, while the placement of the six engines of 3″, forming a J-array, creates a 30° vertical dispersion (+10°/−20°).

Its modular design allows two systems to be coupled to form a much more powerful set. In this configuration, The two subwoofers are stacked, while the satellites are placed on top of each other by means of optional accessories. This increases the maximum SPL by 6 Db, and while the horizontal dispersion does not vary, Vertical increases to 40° (+20°/−20°).

The subwoofer is equipped with rubber-coated aluminum handles for a more comfortable grip, allowing the entire system to be transported, Composed of subwoofer, satellite, Mounting mast, Articulation and wiring, in a simple way. The amplifier module is protected inside a cast aluminum housing and has no fan.

The volume of the satellite can be adjusted in relation to that of the subwoofer in 8 levels from −4.5 to +5 Db. Selectable high-pass filter ensures optimal playback. As needs increase, it is possible to continue expanding this compact line array. Combining four systems in one stereo setup (two on each side) A peak power of 8000 W.
