DESCRIPTION
MUSE 118FSND is an innovative powered subwoofer designed to create suspended clusters with omnidirectional or cardioid directivity, guaranteeing the same excellent aesthetic result. Equipped with B&C 18” (460mm) neodymium woofer with 3.5” (88mm) voice coil and 1600W RMS amplifier capable of 140dB SPL, MUSE 118FSND is ideal to be suspended together with MUSE 210LND powered line array or in a separate cluster. The cardioid configuration requires that some subwoofers face rearwards from the audience to acoustically cancel the sound pressure behind the cluster. The particular engineering of the enclosure that allows it to be suspended facing forward or backward, allowing the end user to reverse the front-back position of the grid and amplifier. All subwoofers will thus have the front grille regardless of the real orientation of the enclosures. Cardioid configuration allows a reduction of the SPL on the back of the array by over 15dB. MUSE 118FSCND model, identical to the 118FSND model, comes preconfigured at the factory for cardioid use. Innovative hybrid band-pass acoustic configuration designed to minimize the volume ensuring excellent frequency extension high SPL. The enclosure is built with 15mm birch plywood with four die-cast aluminum handles, the integrated hardware into the enclosure allows suspension of 8 elements with a safety factor of 10: 1 The summit of the entire project is the new 1600W RMS amplification module with built-in TCP / IP network interface. Based on 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 ‘DANTE’ standard. The module is housed in an aluminum chassis with intelligent forced ventilation and is equipped with an OLED display with encoder for parameter setting. A high-brightness blue front LED allows remote identification of the device also in daylight.
INFINITO
INFINITO is a real revolution in the FBT world that enhance the user experience in a new level of performance and simplicity! It’s a Windows software platform totally developed in-house by the FBT R&D team that offers real-time monitoring of the internal sensors and status of connected devices, fast IN/OUT Vu-meters, controls of all the parameters, group management, and warnings readout. More than 100 devices can be connected on the same TCP/IP network with the added convenience of auto IP address assignment. Download it from our website: www.FBT.it

DIMENSION DRAWING
AMPLIFIER MODULE
The FBT MUSE 118FSND provides a new “intelligent” forced ventilation 1600W high-efficiency Class D power amplifier with switch mode power supply TCP/IP network interface. This also allows to protect the electronics against dust and avoid any air loss.
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 subwoofer on top or to ground satellites over the sub.
