{"product_id":"fbt-install-archon-108-black-422559","title":"Archon 108 Black","description":"\u003ch3\u003eArchon Series: An FBT Installation Speaker Focused on Reliability and Discretion\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFBT Install Archon 108\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs to the Archon series, a range designed for integrators and public venues. The goal is clear: to offer a passive speaker that is both \u003cstrong\u003evisually discreet\u003c\/strong\u003e, robust, and easy to implement in fixed configurations. Its compact size and light weight facilitate wall, ceiling, or structure mounting while maintaining sufficiently broad sound reproduction to cover small to medium areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIntended Uses and Target Audience\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis speaker is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003epermanent installations\u003c\/strong\u003e requiring clean and controlled sound distribution: bars and restaurants, shops, meeting rooms, multipurpose spaces, places of worship, museums, classrooms, and reception areas. Thanks to its 90deg x 90deg dispersion pattern, it is well suited for \u003cstrong\u003enear-field sound reinforcement\u003c\/strong\u003e (front fill, delays, zone reinforcement) and multi-speaker systems where regular coverage is desired without overloading the sound level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAcoustic Design and Installation Highlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003e2-Way Configuration and Controlled Directivity\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Archon 108 features a \u003cstrong\u003e2-way configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e with an 8-inch woofer and a 1.5-inch tweeter. The \u003cstrong\u003econstant directivity\u003c\/strong\u003e horn helps maintain stable coverage, useful for limiting differences in sound reproduction between the center and edges of the area. With a frequency response rated at \u003cstrong\u003e55 Hz to 22 kHz\u003c\/strong\u003e, it aims for balanced reproduction suitable for voice, background music, and many live content at moderate levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAmplification Sizing and Low-End Protection\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn passive use, amplifier choice is crucial: FBT recommends a \u003cstrong\u003e350 W RMS amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e to fully exploit dynamics while allowing necessary headroom. For power handling and clean bass in installations, a \u003cstrong\u003erecommended high-pass filter at 40 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e (25 dB per octave) prevents unnecessary stress on the driver at very low frequencies, especially when the speaker is used without a subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCabinet and Finishes Suitable for Demanding Environments\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e12 mm Baltic birch plywood cabinet\u003c\/strong\u003e combines rigidity and durability, while the \u003cstrong\u003esteel grille\u003c\/strong\u003e with dust-proof protective fabric helps preserve the transducers. The \u003cstrong\u003erotatable logo\u003c\/strong\u003e is a thoughtful detail for installations, ensuring a neat presentation regardless of mounting orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr)
