GENERAL FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

All the VHA family is equipped with a new 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 pla-
tform 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 con-
nected 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. A high-brightness 

blue front LED allows remote identification of the device also in daylight.

The FBT HORIZON VHA 406ND is a compact, self-powered line array 
element that features 4 x 6,5” woofers plus a 1,4” neodymium compres-
sion driver with a 2,5” voice coil, frequency response extends from 65Hz 
to 20kHz.

The waveguide, designed specifically for this product and optimized with 

BEM iterative solution, has a horizontal dispersion of 90°and vertical of 
20°. 

The acoustic configuration with the central horn allows for a symmetrical 

horizontal dispersion.
The construction materials of The FBT HORIZON VHA 406ND meet the 
highest professional standards to ensure maximum reliability, the cabinet 
is in birch plywood of 0,47” with anti-scratch varnish and is provided with 
two handles with rubber inserts and integrated mechanics to join the spe-
akers and angle them from 5° to 20° in 5° steps. The FBT HORIZON VHA 
406ND also boats integrated quickrelease anchor points that facilitate 

the creation of horizontal and vertical arrays using the dedicated flybar. 

The FBT HORIZON VHA
406ND provides a wide range of accessories for suspension, pole-moun-
ting or ground-stacking. The front of the loudspeaker is covered with a 
powder coated perforated steel grille. Available a rain cover that protects 
the electronic parts from the rain.

The VHA 406N model has the same characteristics of the VHA 406ND 
model but does not include the Dante feature
