DESCRIPTION
An innovative line array system with refined, technologically-
advanced engineering. These are the qualities of the new speaker
that redefines the concept of line array in terms of power, size,
lightness, flexibility and practicality of use. The modularity from 2
to 16 speakers allows use in a wide variety of situations, from small
band to large outdoor concert.
It has two custom 250mm woofers with 64mm high excursion coil
and two custom B&C drivers with 25mm throat. The waveguide,
optimised with BEM finite element simulations to minimise
distortion, has a horizontal dispersion of 90°. Designed to present an
optimal load to the driver’s membrane starting from 800Hz, it allows
the propagation of a flat acoustic wave up to over 18Khz, strictly
respecting the most stringent physical criteria for an ideal cylindrical
source. The acoustic configuration with the central horn allows for a
particularly linear and symmetrical horizontal dispersion.
The cabinet is made of 15mm birch plywood with two die-cast
aluminium handles.
The hardware integrated in the cabinet allows the suspension of 16
boxes with a 10:1 safety factor and an inclination from 0° to 10° at
a step of 1°. The design of the no-compromise mechanics in terms of
practicality and speed of set-up of the system makes it particularly
suitable for daily touring movements.
The aesthetic elegance also makes it very suitable for fixed
installations.
The summit of the entire project is the 800+400W RMS amplification
module with TCP/IP network interface. Based on the OCA
ALLIANCE AES70 standard, it communicates with the ‘INFINITO
system management suite’ remote control software and receives
24-bit 48-96Khz digital audio streaming from all devices compatible
with the ‘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 contained
in an aluminium chassis with intelligent forced ventilation and is
equipped with an OLED display with encoder for parameter setting,
among which 8 presets offer easy configuration, adapting the DSP
to the curvature of the array and to the number of elements used.
To extend the low frequencies, the MUSE system includes two
subwoofer models:
MUSE118SND is an innovative reversible subwoofer for cardioid
configurations with integrated suspension hardware. Innovative
hybrid acoustic band-pass configuration with single 460mm B&C
woofer and 88mm neodymium coil and integrated 1600W RMS
amplifier capable of 140dB SPL, ideal to be suspended together with
the MUSE210LND or in a separate cluster.
MUSE218SND is a direct radiation ground subwoofer, it has 2
B&C 460mm long-range woofers and 4000W class D amplification
capable of 148.5dB SPL. The subwoofer serves as the basis for
ground-stack configurations and is equipped with a preset for
cardioid configuration.
Both have a switching power supply unit, OLED display with encoder
and TCP/IP AES70 interface compatible to communicate with the
‘INFINITO system management suite’ software.
Using the AFMG’s EASE FOCUS 3 PC software, it is possible to design
the most appropriate configuration by simulating SPL distribution
and system frequency response in listening areas.
