DESCRIPTION
MUSE 218SND is a direct radiation ground subwoofer, has two B&C 460mm long
excursion speakers with 100mm voice coil and 4000W class D amplification,
capable of 148.5dB SPL. The bass-reflex cabinet offers substantial energy up
to 30Hz and is ideal for extending and reinforcing the low frequencies of the
MUSE 210LND line array in ground-stack configuration. It has presets to create
various configurations with cardioid directivity, where some subwoofers face
rearwards from the audience to acoustically cancel the sound pressure behind
the cluster, obtaining a reduction of the SPL on the back by over 15dB. The
enclosure, optimized with BEM-type acoustic simulations to reduce resonance
and turbulence of the ducts, is built with 18mm birch plywood with six handles
and scratch-resistant paint. Reinforced front mesh with protective fabric and
provision for optional four swivel-mount 4 ‘’ (100mm) casters in the rear
panel.
The summit of the entire project is the new 4000W amplification module with a
built-in TCP / IP network interface. Based on the AES70 standard (OCA
Alliance), it communicates with FBT’s “INFINITO management suite” remote
control software and receives 24bit 48-96Khz digital audio streaming from all
devices compatible with the “DANTE” standard. The MUSE 218SND is equipped with
intelligent forced ventilation and an OLED display with an encoder for
parameter setting. A high-brightness blue front LED allows remote
identification of the device also in daylight.

DIMENSION DRAWING
AMPLIFIER MODULE
The FBT MUSE 218SND provides a new “intelligent” forced ventilation 4000W high-efficiency Class D power amplifier with switch mode power supply and TCP/IP network interface.
ACCESSORIES
MUSE models feature a suspension system embedded in the bearing structure. The
only element to be added (accessories) to realize complete arrays is the
MS-F210 flybar for the configuration with a subwoofer on top or to ground
satellites over the sub.
