FBT Install Canto 5C B Black

A Reference from the Canto Series, Designed for Installed Sound Reinforcement

The FBT Install Canto 5C Black belongs to the Canto series and is made in Italy. Its compact size and coaxial design make it a relevant solution for installed sound projects requiring a discreet, robust, and easy-to-deploy speaker, while maintaining even coverage in small to medium listening areas.

Intended Uses and Environments

This speaker is designed for nearfield sound reinforcement and installed sound applications: background music, vocal reinforcement, secondary zones, or multiple distribution points. It is particularly suited for venues seeking clear and uniform sound without clutter: bars, restaurants, shops, reception areas, meeting rooms, multipurpose rooms, or light event installations. As a passive model, it naturally integrates into existing setups with external amplification.

Design and Performance: The Efficiency of a 2-Way Coaxial

2-Way Coaxial Configuration: Coherence and Precision

The 2-way coaxial configuration combines a 5-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter on a common axis. This architecture promotes a more coherent sound image and better continuity between frequency ranges, a notable advantage when the speaker is used in nearfield, low ceiling, or multi-point applications.

90 deg x 90 deg Coverage: Even Sound Dispersion

With a 90 deg H x 90 deg V dispersion, the Canto 5C Black is suited for spaces where overly strong or weak zones need to be limited. This balanced directivity helps achieve homogeneous coverage, particularly useful in public environments where listening consistency is prioritized over extreme volume levels.

Power and Sound Level: Simple Amplification Sizing

The rated power of 60 W RMS (and 240 W Peak ) allows building a reliable system for daily sound reinforcement. The manufacturer recommends a 120 W RMS amplifier, simplifying the choice of suitable amplification. With a 93 dB sensitivity and a 117 dB max peak SPL, the speaker comfortably handles voice and music while maintaining a compact form factor.

Integration and Mounting: Practical for Installation and Light Mobile Configurations

The 4-pin Euroblock input is especially appreciated in fixed installations. The polypropylene enclosure combines lightness and durability, while the 35 mm pole mount allows quick setup on stands when needed. An adjustable bracket is available as an option (reference WM-45 ) for dedicated mounting.
