FBT introduces compact active Mitus line array system

Launched at at prolight + sound show 2009, Frankfurt, the active Mitus series is FBT's most compact line of professional loudspeakers suitable for a broad range of applications from multiple cabinet line array to stand alone use of single units. The new line will also be showcased at InfoComm 2009, in Orlando, Florida, booth #6709, Demo Room # W202B. The Mitus 206 LA compact line array system boasts an extended performance in the mid and high frequencies featuring the latest Class D built-in amp design with DSP. Suitable for small to medium sized applications, the Mitus 206 LA can be configured using the the new flyable Mitus 212 FSA (2 x 12”) active subwoofer, or ground stacked on the powered Mitus subwoofers 121 SA (1 x 21”) or 118 SA (1 x 18”). The Mitus 206 LA enclosure is made of gas-injected polypropylene, featuring a 2-way design with 2 x 6.5" neodymium drivers plus one 1.4" exit HF compression driver fitted to a waveguide and horn producing a vertical line source directivity with 100° horizontal pattern. The maximum vertical dispersion of each module is 10°, depending on the number of elements combined in the line array. The built-in bi-amp system is engineered in Class D with DSP and delivers 600 W RMS to the LF and 300 W RMS to the HF. An extra-strong and lightweight switch mode power supply provides high reliability. The Mitus 212 FSA active subwoofer shares the same width and suspension hardware as the MITUS 206 LA for flown configurations at the top of a MITUS 206 LA, in a separate column or ground stacked. It increases the low frequency headroom and extend the bandwidth of an array of MITUS 206 LA down to 45 Hz. The bass-reflex design utilizes a dual set, high excursion, of 12" woofers with neodymium magnet assembly and is equipped with a Class D built-in amplifier with switch mode power supply, delivering 1200 Wrms. The Mitus 121 SA is an active subwoofer with a 21” driver, enabling extremely low response down to 29 Hz. The birch plywood enclosure is designed in bass-reflex and has the same width as the Mitus 206 LA for ground stacking applications. Its Class D amplifier delivers 1200 W of continuous power. The 21” sub is designed for the best performance when used in a fully active system combined with the flown line array, or with the active Mitus 112A and 115A active FOH speakers. The Mitus 118 SA is single 18” active sub to the same width size of the line array and 21” sub. This model has a band-pass design to provide more “kick” to the low frequencies, extended down to 36 Hz. The Class D amplifier with DSP and switch mode power supply provides 1200 W of continuous power. The Mitus range also includes two FOH active and passive speakers, the Mitus 112 A and the Mitus 115 A. The enclosures are made of high grade birch plywood, with a rugged front grille with dust protection foam. The Mitus 112 A is a 2-way design active speaker, with a 12” neodymium magnet woofer and a 1.7” VC HF compression driver, mounted on a 80°H x 50°H rotatable CD horn. The Class D built-in bi-amp system with switch mode power supply guarantees 600 W RMS to the low frequencies and 300 W RMS to the HF area. The system features a DSP and factory presets. The Mitus 115 A is a 2-way active speaker with a 15” neodymium magnet woofer and a 1.7 VC HF compression driver mounted on a 80°V x 50°H rotatable CD horn, featuring the same amplifier outfit as the Mitus 118 SA. The range is rounded by the low profile, 2-way stage monitor Mitus 210 MA with 2 x 10” neodymium drivers and a 1.7” VC HF compression driver co-axially mounted on one of the two 10” woofers. The built-in bi-amp system with switch mode power supply offers 600 W RMS to the LF and 300 W RMS to the HF.
