The Canto Series: An Installation Speaker Designed for Integration
The FBT Install Canto 5CT B is part of a range of speakers dedicated to fixed installation, where priority is given to integration, sound coverage, and simple wiring. Its lightweight format and understated design allow it to be installed in many public spaces while maintaining clear and coherent sound reproduction. The choice of a coaxial architecture and the addition of a 100V / 70V transformer directly address the needs of integrators and operators looking for a reliable, scalable, and easy-to-deploy solution.
Intended Uses and Users
This speaker is particularly suited for background music playback and voice reinforcement in commercial and tertiary spaces: shops, restaurants, reception halls, meeting rooms, hotels, or cultural venues. Thanks to its comfortable sensitivity and controlled directivity, it is suitable both for close listening and for consistent coverage of a traffic area. In 100V / 70V configuration, it becomes a relevant choice for multi-point installations requiring simple management of cable lengths and speaker quantities.
Coaxial Design, Controlled Directivity, and Easy Installation
Even Sound Dispersion Thanks to 2-Way Coaxial
The 2-way coaxial configuration combines the woofer/midrange driver and the tweeter on a common axis to improve phase coherence and dispersion uniformity. The result is a more intelligible sound message, particularly appreciated for announcements and speech, while maintaining balanced musical reproduction in a compact volume.
90 deg x 90 deg Directivity: Controlled Coverage
With a dispersion of 90 degrees horizontal and 90 degrees vertical, the Canto 5CT B aims for even coverage, useful to limit "hot spots" and better distribute sound within the listening area. This feature simplifies placement, especially when multiple speakers are distributed within the same space.
Built-in 100V / 70V Transformer for Distribution Networks
The integrated line transformer allows the speaker to be used on 100V / 70V networks, a common standard in installations. The line power is selectable over a range from 3.75 W to 60 W, helping to adjust the level of each speaker according to the zone (background music, entrance areas, noisier spaces), while maintaining a simple wiring architecture.
Euroblock Connectors and Mounting Options
The input connector in 4-pin Euroblock format is designed for clean integration in installations. For setup, the speaker features a 35 mm socket for stand mounting when needed, and an adjustable WM-45 bracket is mentioned as sold separately for wall mounting adapted to site constraints.
