The Shadow Series: An "install" Solution Designed for Public Address Sound Diffusion
The FBT Install Shadow 108CT/EN is designed for fixed "Public Address" sound systems, where priority is given to reliability, durability, and voice intelligibility. Its robust format and installation-oriented approach make it particularly suitable for public venues, both indoors and outdoors, requiring regular and controlled sound diffusion.
Intended Uses and Locations
This 100V speaker is intended for installers and operators seeking effective diffusion for announcements, safety messages, and moderate-level background soundscapes. It is well suited for facades, courtyards, reception areas, halls, galleries, covered walkways, or technical spaces exposed to splashes and climatic variations. Thanks to its conical dispersion, it helps maintain consistent coverage while limiting "too loud" zones nearby.
Acoustic Design and Key Elements for Reliable Installation
2-Way Architecture: Precision and Intelligibility
The 2-way configuration combines an 8" speaker (with a 2" voice coil) for low-mid frequencies and a 1" tweeter (with a 1.4" voice coil) for definition. This design promotes clear voice reproduction while maintaining the energy needed for diffusion in open or reverberant environments.
Constant Directivity Horn: Consistent Coverage
The constant directivity horn helps stabilize dispersion within the useful area. The result is a more uniform listening experience across the stated coverage width, with better control of reflections in common installation locations.
100V Network and Power Adjustment
The built-in 100V transformer offers two power taps (120W / 60W ) to adjust power according to listening distance, ambient noise, or the number of speakers on the line. Additionally, the datasheet specifies an RMS power of 150 W, a Peak power of 600 W, and a recommended amplifier of 300 W (depending on system architecture and desired dynamic reserve).
Protection and Durability: IP55 and Reinforced Construction
The molded polypropylene enclosure is designed for installation, with attention to mechanical resistance. The grille includes a 3-layer splash protection, and the IP55 rating confirms suitability for exposed environments (dust and water splashes). The supplied steel U-bracket facilitates wall/structure mounting with stable orientation adjustment.
