The FBT Vertus CLA 403T is a high-performance passive column loudspeaker designed for both indoor and outdoor installations, offering exceptional sound clarity and flexibility in challenging acoustic environments. This speaker is equipped with four 3-inch full-range custom woofers with 0.75-inch voice coils and is complemented by a passive 1-inch HF dome tweeter. With a frequency response ranging from 140Hz to 20kHz, the CLA 403T delivers clear and balanced audio, making it ideal for applications where both voice and music intelligibility are crucial. It is particularly suited for fixed installations in reverberant environments such as airports, train stations, and large auditoriums.

The Vertus CLA 403T features an integrated passive directivity control system that allows for precise vertical dispersion. This system provides users with the option to select between two vertical dispersion angles: NARROW (125° horizontal x 28° vertical) and WIDE (125° horizontal x 36° vertical) at 2kHz. This flexibility ensures optimal sound coverage and high intelligibility, regardless of the acoustics of the installation space. This speaker is designed to adapt to various environments, providing clear and consistent audio in both compact and expansive areas.

Constructed from extruded aluminum with a powder-coated finish, the Vertus CLA 403T offers exceptional durability and protection against the elements, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. The speaker features an IP55 rating, meaning it is dustproof and waterproof, ensuring reliable performance in adverse weather conditions. The grille is made from hydrophobic fabric that further enhances the speaker's weather resistance by protecting it from moisture and other environmental factors.

The speaker includes a 100V line transformer with a power selector, offering multiple power options to suit a variety of installation requirements. The power options (60W, 30W, and 15W) allow the speaker to be integrated into a variety of systems and to be used in a wide range of configurations. Multiple CLA 803 and CLA 403 units can be linked together to increase SPL, low-frequency control, and coverage, making this speaker ideal for scalable systems.

The Vertus CLA 403T is fully EN54-24 certified, ensuring it meets the stringent standards required for emergency and evacuation systems. This certification is crucial for installations where safety and reliability are paramount, such as public buildings and critical infrastructure. The speaker is equipped with a ceramic screw-in connector and a thermal fuse to protect the system in case of an emergency, ensuring the safety and durability of the speaker during critical moments.

For ease of installation, the Vertus CLA 403T comes with a range of available accessories, including dedicated mounting brackets and multi-angle adjustment options.
