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. Normally the rear of these subwoofers, where the amplifier, connectors and wiring are present, is visible from the front of 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 and the rear amplifier regardless of the real orientation of the enclosures, which in a ratio of two front and one rear facing, 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

BEM type Finite element simulations have allowed the optimisation of an innovative hybrid band-pass acoustic configuration designed to minimise the volume ensuring excellent extension of the frequency response and high SPL.

The enclosure is built with 15mm birch plywood with four die-cast aluminium 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 FBTs INFINITO management suite remote control software and receives 24bit 48- 96Khz digital audio streaming from all devices compatible with DANTE standard. INFINITO is a true revolution in the FBT world that enhances the user experience, reaching new heights in terms of performance and simplicity! It is a software platform that is fully developed in house by the FBT R&D team that offers real time monitoring of the internal sensors and the status of the connected devices, fast IN/OUT Vu-meters, controls of all the parameters, group management and warnings readout.

The module is housed in an aluminium 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.
