The FBT Horizon VHA 406A is a compact, self-powered 2-way line array loudspeaker designed for professional sound reinforcement applications. This speaker is engineered to deliver exceptional audio performance in a wide variety of environments, from live events to fixed installations. The VHA 406A features 4 x 6.5-inch woofers paired with a 1.4-inch neodymium compression driver and a 2.5-inch voice coil, providing a frequency response that spans from 65Hz to 20kHz, ensuring full-range sound reproduction with clear, detailed highs and impactful lows. The combination of high-quality components and advanced DSP processing makes this line array element ideal for both small and large-scale audio setups.
Powering the VHA 406A is a highly efficient Class D amplifier module, delivering 600W to the low-frequency (LF) section and 300W to the high-frequency (HF) section. The amplifier's die-cast aluminum construction utilizes natural convection for optimal heat dissipation, ensuring reliable performance even during extended use. The switching power supply ensures the system operates with maximum efficiency, while the DSP processor provides 8 pre-defined equalization presets, allowing users to adapt the sound to specific acoustic environments. The VHA 406A also features a switchable HP filter and level controls for further customization of audio performance.
The VHA 406A's waveguide, designed using the Boundary Element Method (BEM) optimization technique, ensures uniform sound dispersion across the coverage area. With a Horizontal dispersion of 90° and a vertical dispersion of 20°, the speaker delivers even sound coverage across large areas, making it ideal for both front-of-house and distributed audio systems. The ability to control the speaker's dispersion and adjust its angle from 5° to 20° in 5° increments gives users complete flexibility in configuring the array for optimal sound projection and coverage.
The speaker's rugged 0.47-inch birch plywood cabinet is finished with an anti-scratch varnish, ensuring that the VHA 406A can withstand the rigors of touring and installation. Integrated handles with rubber inserts provide ease of transport, while the speaker's construction includes integrated mechanics that enable easy connection and adjustment of the array. The VHA 406A also features quick-release anchor points, facilitating rapid assembly of Horizontal and vertical arrays using a dedicated flybar. For added flexibility, the speaker can be suspended, pole-mounted, or ground-stacked, thanks to a wide range of compatible accessories.
For added protection in outdoor environments, the VHA 406A can be paired with an optional rain cover to shield the electronic components from water, ensuring reliable performance in all weather conditions. The front of the loudspeaker is protected by a powder-coated perforated steel grille, which not only adds to the speaker's durability but also provides an aesthetically pleasing design.
The FBT Horizon VHA 406A is manufactured in Italy with the craftsmanship and quality that FBT is known for, making it a top-tier choice for audio professionals who demand high performance, flexibility, and reliability in their sound reinforcement systems.
