The FBT Muse 118 FS is a powerful and compact passive band-pass subwoofer designed to deliver deep, punchy low-end frequencies in both ground-stack and flown configurations. Engineered to complement the Muse 210L line array, the Muse 118 FS extends the low-frequency response of the system, providing smooth, high-impact bass reinforcement in a variety of applications. With a frequency response of 33Hz to 250Hz, this subwoofer is ideal for large concert events, festivals, and any environment that demands a high-output, low-frequency solution. The Muse 118 FS is capable of producing an impressive maximum SPL of 139dB peak, ensuring that it can provide powerful bass energy even in the largest venues.
At the heart of the Muse 118 FS is a high-performance 18-inch B&C neodymium magnet woofer, featuring a 3.5-inch voice coil, designed for high excursion and efficient low-frequency production. This robust driver is paired with a 2400W built-in amplifier, which offers maximum reliability and performance, ensuring that the subwoofer can handle high-power input without distortion. The subwoofer's frequency sensitivity is 101dB, enabling it to provide clear and accurate bass across the full range of its frequency response. This combination of powerful components and advanced engineering makes the Muse 118 FS an excellent choice for high-output applications that require consistent and impactful bass delivery.
One of the key features of the Muse 118 FS is its modularity and flexibility. It can be used in a variety of configurations, ranging from small systems to large-scale line arrays, making it a highly adaptable solution for different sound reinforcement needs. The subwoofer can be flown facing forward or rearward, with the grille and amplifier module able to be front- or rear-mounted for aesthetic uniformity, particularly when used in cardioid configurations. In the cardioid setup, some subwoofers are positioned rearward from the audience to cancel sound pressure behind the cluster, reducing SPL by over 15dB at the rear. This feature makes the Muse 118 FS ideal for large outdoor events or situations where controlling low-frequency energy in the surrounding areas is critical.
The Muse 118 FS is built from 15mm birch plywood and is finished with scratch-resistant black paint for durability and a professional appearance. The subwoofer includes Neutrik NL4 speakON input connectors, allowing for reliable connections and easy daisy-chaining of multiple units. It also features integrated suspension hardware, fully compatible with the Muse 210 system, making it easy to integrate into both flown and ground-stacked configurations. Whether used in a permanent installation or as part of a touring system, the Muse 118 FS provides exceptional low-frequency reinforcement with flexibility, ease of use, and reliability.
