The Canto Series: A Solution Designed for Sound Reinforcement and Integration
The Canto series from FBT follows a modern sound reinforcement approach: ready-to-use active speakers designed to deliver a consistent sound and quick setup. The CANTO 8CA White positions itself as a compact model, particularly suited for fixed installations where aesthetics matter as much as performance, while retaining the flexibility of an active speaker.
Who Is the FBT Install CANTO 8CA White For?
This speaker is ideal if you are looking for versatile sound reinforcement for voice and music with a small footprint. It is suitable for both installations (background music, announcements, conferences) and more "on-the-ground" uses: stage monitors, small gigs, intimate DJ sets, or sound reinforcement. Its Line / Mic selector facilitates integration in simple setups without the need to add an external interface.
DSP, Controls, and Connectivity: A Speaker That Is Easy to Use and Adapt
The CANTO 8CA White emphasizes efficiency: you have a volume potentiometer to adjust the level, along with several switches to adapt to the context.
4 DSP Presets to Optimize Sound
The DSP switch (4 presets) allows you to adjust the speaker's response according to the use (for example: prioritizing vocal intelligibility, music playback, specific placement). This is a real time saver when changing rooms, placement, or audio program.
HPF Filter and Level Management
The HPF filter helps control bass depending on the installation (especially if the speaker is paired with a subwoofer or if you want to limit low frequencies to improve clarity). The Line / Mic level switch adapts the input to the source, simplifying connections in lightweight configurations.
XLR Link for Clean Installations
The connectivity focuses on simplicity and reliability: a 3-pin female XLR input and a 3-pin male XLR Link output for daisy-chaining multiple speakers, useful for multi-zone distribution or covering a room while maintaining clean cabling.
Consistent Dispersion and Sound Performance
With an 80deg x 80deg dispersion, the CANTO 8CA White is designed for even coverage, suitable for both wall-mounted installations and pole-mounted sound reinforcement. Its frequency response from 50Hz to 20kHz and high sound pressure level (120dB continuous, 125dB peak ) make it a speaker capable of remaining clear and present even at high volumes.
