FBT UK Introduces VERTUS CLA 406A/118SA portable line array system FBT UK has announced the launch of a new addition to the FBT VERTUS range, the CLA active, portable line array system. Featuring high quality B&C neodymium drivers in steel reinforced birch ply housings and driven by advanced Class-D amplification, the VERTUS CLA system offers a stylish, highly versatile, easy to use line array for demanding applications.

The new FBT VERTUS system is built around the CLA406A, a metal braced, birch ply enclosed line array column housing four custom 6.5” (165mm) woofers and a 1.5” (35mm) large format B&C neodymium compression driver with a 2.5” (64mm) voice coil - the combination operating across a frequency range of 65Hz-20kHz. The specially designed waveguide has a horizontal dispersion of 100° and 25° vertical. The height dimension of the waveguide allows excellent vertical control. Powering the CLA406A is a convection cooled, die-cast aluminium Class-D amplifier module delivering 600 Watts for LF duties and 300Watts for high frequencies. The unit is controlled by a DSP offering eight well chosen EQ presets.

Designed for easy portability and rugged reliability, the VERTUS CLA604A is equipped with two aluminum handles with rubber inserts and 12 anchor points, which combine to make the system extremely versatile. Via optional hardware it is possible to couple two CLA406A with angles of 0° - 10° - 20°, with the adjacent waveguides set for long range operation, or with one cabinet above the other for short-medium distance applications. Additional accessories are available for system suspension as well as flying a VERTUS CLA118SA subwoofer. Also immediately available is the matching VERTUS CLA 118SA subwoofer, which features a birch plywood housing containing a high quality B&C 18” (460mm) woofer in a bass reflex ported enclosure providing an extensive laminar airflow, minimizing turbulence and power compression.

Driving the subwoofer is a naturally cooled Class-D switchmode power amplifier rated at 1,200 Watts achieving a frequency response of 33Hz-100Hz and delivering up to 138dB. The onboard DSP also offers functions including filtering, equalisation and protection. Designed for use in demanding live situations, the FBT VERTUS system is a truly professional line array that, despite its compact size, still delivers an impressive SPL of 133dB. It can be integrated elegantly and with minimal intrusion into any environment that requires high quality sound with powerful directional control. Full System consists of 2 x VERTUS CLA 406A 600W + 300W 133 dB SPL Active Column Line Array and 2 x VERTUS CLA 118SA 1200W 138 dB SPL Processed Active Subwoofer. No Bags or accessories included.
