FBT Install Archon 105

An Installation Speaker Designed for Discretion and Uniform Dispersion

The FBT Install Archon 105 belongs to the Archon series, designed to meet the needs of installed sound reinforcement : a compact speaker, understated in black finish, and easy to integrate into environments requiring minimal visual presence. Its birch plywood enclosure and steel grille with dust protection make it a coherent solution for public venues where reliability and clean appearance are as important as sound quality.

For Whom and For What Uses?

This passive speaker is particularly suited for fixed installations in background music playback, voice announcements, or sound reinforcement in small to medium-sized spaces: retail stores, restaurants, lobbies, training rooms, cultural spaces, or multiroom zones. With its 89 dB sensitivity and a maximum peak SPL of 115 dB, the Install Archon 105 aims for clean and intelligible results, especially for voice, while maintaining solid performance at higher levels.

Acoustic Design and Integration: Efficiency, Clarity, and Coverage Control

2-way and Crossover: A Relevant Balance for Voice and Music

The 2-way configuration pairs a 5" woofer (with 1.25" voice coil) and a 1" tweeter (with 1" voice coil). The 3 kHz crossover frequency distributes the work between low-mid and high frequencies to achieve articulated reproduction, useful for spoken content, playlists, or detailed ambient playback.

Constant Directivity Horn: 110deg x 110deg

The constant directivity horn provides a 110deg horizontal x 110deg vertical dispersion. Practically, this helps even out coverage across the listening area by limiting "hot spots" too close to the speaker and zones lacking presence. This is an important advantage in installations where uniformity often takes precedence over peak level maximization.

Low Frequency Management in Installation: Recommended High-Pass Filter

The frequency response is specified as 70 Hz - 22 kHz. To secure low-end behavior and optimize power handling, a recommended high-pass filter at 60 Hz - 24 dB/oct is advised. This approach is typical for installed systems: it protects the driver, increases headroom, and maintains cleaner sound at sustained levels, especially if a subwoofer handles the infra-bass.

Enclosure, Finish, and Hardware: Ready for Integration

The 12 mm birch plywood enclosure contributes to rigidity and vibration control. The steel grille with dust protection safeguards the drivers in public environments. For installation, there are 4 threaded M5 mounting points, as well as an included rotatable FBT logo badge, convenient for maintaining a clean aesthetic depending on mounting orientation.
