FBT introduces the Mitus 118FSA and FSCA cardioid arrayable and flyable subwoofers.

More details from FBT (www.fbt.it):

RECANATI, Italy – The Mitus 118FSA and FSCA are cardioid arrayable and flyable subwoofers.  Designed and manufactured by FBT’s renowned engineers and artisans, the Mitus 118FSA/FSCA is a prime example of audio perfection and ergonomic innovation. The Mitus 118FSA/FSCA is a hybrid loaded 18’’ neodymium subwoofer designed to suspend from an MT-F 212 flybar either facing forward (the FSA model) or rearward (the FSCA model). The FSCA model is the version designed for rearward suspension, and as such the enclosure has been equipped with a protection grille on its new ‘front’ and the amplifier module on its new ‘rear’. Thus, when creating a cardioid sub package, no additional hardware is required to easily achieve sleek visual continuity, as all the grilles are visible from the front of the array while all of the amplifier modules are on the back. In today’s industry, where aesthetic values are becoming ever more important, this represents a true advantage for any installer.

Mitus 118FSA

MITUS 118FSA/FSCA

  • Processed Cardioid-Flyable Active Subwoofer
  • 1200W139dB SPL
  • A compact, hybrid band-pass cardioid-arrayable subwoofer. The hybrid configuration uniquely combines the low frequency extension and performance of a reflex enclosure with the high SPL, high sensitivity and acoustic filtering of a band-pass design, all in a remarkably compact enclosure
  • The suspension hardware is fully compatible with the MITUS206La, allowing the enclosure to be suspended in either a front (FSA model) or rear-firing (FSCA model) mode for easy cardioid configurations
  • A very large area laminar-flow port is included to ensure no power compression and very low port turbulence
  • For cardioid configurations with one SUB rear-firing and two subs front-firing, more than 15dB SPL rejection can be obtained behind the array
  • Onboard is an18’’ (460mm) custom B&C neodymium magnet high excursion woofer with 3.5’’ (88mm) voice coil
  • Mitus line array systemThe frequency response is from 33Hz to 100Hz
  • The Class D amplifier delivers1200WRMS
  • Switch mode power supply
  • DSP with 8 presets, cardioid and with infra configurations, delay
  • Control panel with XLR input and link, volume, presets, delay, phase 0°-180°, ground-lift
  • 5/8’’ (15mm) birch plywood enclosure with scratch resistant black paint
  • Low frequency extension cabinet for the MITUS 206LA line array for flying or ground stacked configurations.
  • Very low profile for a 18’’ size woofer

MITUS 118FS/FSC

  • Flyable Passive Subwoofer
  • 1200W – 139dB SPL
  • Passive version, recommended amplifier of 1200Wrms / 8ohm
  • NeutrikSpeakon NL- 4MDV connectors IN & LINK OUT
  • External digital processor required
