FBT VHA 118SND - 5000W 18-inch Powered Bass Reflex Subwoofer with 4-inch Voice Coil and Infinito/Dante in Black Finish

The FBT Horizon VHA 118SND is a powerful, self-powered 18-inch bass reflex subwoofer designed for professional audio applications where high output and deep bass extension are essential. This subwoofer is specifically engineered to complement the Horizon VHA line array system, providing low-frequency reinforcement and extending the overall frequency range of the system. Whether used in large venues, outdoor festivals, or fixed installations, the VHA 118SND delivers superior performance with an impressive SPL of 143 dB peak, making it ideal for high-demand sound reinforcement tasks.

At the core of the VHA 118SND is a high-performance 18-inch woofer featuring a 4-inch voice coil and long excursion capabilities, ensuring precise and deep bass reproduction. The 2500W Class D built-in amplifier powers the system, with peak power handling reaching up to 5000W, providing the subwoofer with the ability to deliver high-output bass without distortion. The bass reflex cabinet design ensures substantial low-frequency energy extension down to 30Hz, making it an excellent choice for reinforcing the low end of the Horizon VHA line arrays in both ground-stack and flown configurations.

The VHA 118SND is equipped with advanced networking capabilities, including onboard DANTE audio streaming, which allows for seamless digital audio transmission via a TCP/IP network. This is ideal for large-scale setups where multiple units need to be synchronized and controlled. The subwoofer is compatible with the OCA ALLIANCE AES70 standard, enabling integration with FBT's INFINITO system management suite. The network interface ensures easy remote monitoring and control, allowing operators to manage system settings and parameters using the intuitive OLED display and encoder. This system supports 24-bit, 48-96kHz digital audio streaming, ensuring high-quality sound throughout your setup.

Constructed from durable 18mm birch plywood, the VHA 118SND is finished with a tough black polyurea coating, providing a high level of protection against environmental factors, bumps, and scratches. The subwoofer features six integrated aluminum handles for easy handling and transportation, while its design includes four support points for ground-stacking and two M20 stand sockets, allowing for flexible installation in both Horizontal and vertical orientations. The front of the subwoofer is protected by a powder-coated, perforated steel grille, offering additional protection while maintaining the speaker's professional appearance. The high-brightness blue front LED allows for easy device identification, even in daylight, ensuring quick setup and operation in large venues.

The VHA 118SND's advanced features, robust construction, and high-output capabilities make it an excellent choice for sound reinforcement applications requiring reliable low-end performance and high sound pressure levels. With its versatility and cutting-edge design, the VHA 118SND sets a new standard in bass reproduction for professional audio systems.
