The FBT VHA 406N is a compact, self-powered 2-way line array loudspeaker that is designed to deliver exceptional sound performance with flexible installation options. It features four 6.5-inch woofers and a 1.4-inch neodymium compression driver with a 2.5-inch voice coil, offering a frequency response range from 65Hz to 20kHz. This speaker is engineered to provide high-output sound with precise control, making it ideal for a wide variety of applications including live events, installations, and touring systems.
At the heart of the VHA 406N is a powerful Class D amplifier, delivering 800W RMS for the low-frequency (LF) section and 400W RMS for the high-frequency (HF) section. The amplifier is housed in a rugged aluminum chassis with intelligent forced ventilation, ensuring reliable operation even in demanding environments. The system's advanced design includes an OLED display and encoder for easy parameter adjustments, providing full control over settings like volume, EQ, and system monitoring. The VHA 406N does not include Dante networking, but it does offer TCP/IP connectivity via the Ethercon RJ45 input and output, making it compatible with a variety of control and network configurations. Additionally, it supports the AES70 protocol, ensuring seamless integration with other systems and networked audio solutions.
The FBT VHA 406N features a 90° Horizontal and 20° vertical dispersion pattern, designed to optimize audience coverage and sound clarity. The integrated waveguide, which was specifically engineered and optimized using BEM (Boundary Element Method) simulations, ensures even sound distribution across the listening area, making it perfect for large venues such as arenas, theatres, and outdoor events. The system can be adapted for both vertical and Horizontal installation configurations, with the ability to angle the speakers from 5° to 20° in 5° increments, offering flexibility for different room and audience layouts.
Constructed from durable 0.47" birch plywood with an anti-scratch varnish, the VHA 406N is built to withstand the rigors of touring and transport. The cabinet is finished with rubber-coated sides for added durability, protecting the speaker during handling and transport. The front of the speaker is covered with a powder-coated perforated steel grille, offering protection for the internal components while maintaining a sleek and professional appearance. The high-brightness blue front LED allows for easy identification of the device, even in bright daylight, making it simple for audio engineers to quickly assess the status of the speaker in a busy live environment.
In addition to its powerful performance, the FBT VHA 406N includes integrated quick-release anchor points, making it easy to create Horizontal and vertical arrays using the dedicated flybar. The system also offers a wide range of accessories for suspension, pole-mounting, and ground-stacking, making it versatile and adaptable to various setup configurations. Whether you are looking to build a large line array or a smaller, more portable system, the VHA 406N provides the tools and features you need for optimal sound reproduction and system flexibility.
In summary, the FBT VHA 406N is a self-powered, high-performance 2-way line array loudspeaker designed for professional sound reinforcement applications. With its compact design, powerful Class D amplification, precise dispersion control, and robust construction, it delivers superior sound quality and flexibility, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of sound applications. The VHA 406N offers exceptional performance in both permanent installations and mobile setups, providing clear, even coverage and reliable operation under demanding conditions.
