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 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.

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 software platform totally developed in house by 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, warnings readout.

The MUSE 218SND is equipped with intelligent forced ventilation and OLED display with encoder for parameter setting. A highbrightness blue front LED allows remote identification of the device also in daylight.
