FBT VERTUS CLA 206 Passive Loudspeaker

FBT VERTUS CLA 206 Passive Loudspeaker

FBT VERTUS CLA 206 is a passive two-way line-array loudspeaker with 2 × 6.5-inch woofers and a 1.4-inch high-frequency driver.

FBT recommends an external 500 W RMS amplifier into 8 Ω. The loudspeaker's long-term power rating is 250 W; the 500 W figure describes the recommended amplifier, not built-in electronics.

Operation requires a processed amplifier with an authorised FBT DSP preset or an external DSP processor using that preset. The rear panel has Speakon input and link connectors.

The birch-plywood cabinet has handles and mounting points. FBT documents use alone or as a down-fill with CLA 406.2 and CLA 118S; rigging hardware is selected separately for the installation.

Main Features

• Two 6.5-inch woofers distribute sound along the vertical module.
• The 1.4-inch high-frequency driver and FBT waveguide form the specified coverage pattern.
• The recommended 500 W RMS amplifier is external; the loudspeaker has no built-in amplifier.
• An FBT DSP preset is required for alignment and driver protection.
• Two Speakon sockets accept the amplifier feed and link it to another module.
• The 100° × 25° coverage depends on the number of modules in the array.
• Mounting points support FBT-approved ground and flown configurations.
• The 20° angled top supports the specified module-coupling arrangements.
