FBT Install Shadow 112HCT/EN

Shadow: a speaker designed for fixed installation and demanding environments

The FBT Install Shadow 112HCT/EN belongs to the Shadow series, developed for permanent installation projects where robustness and consistent sound distribution are paramount. Its design meets the requirements of public venues by combining a high-performance 2-way architecture, careful mechanical protection, and a clear focus on Public Address systems and message broadcasting.

With its EN54-24 certification, it is particularly aimed at installations where service continuity and integration with safety devices are essential, while maintaining acoustic performance suitable for background music and speech.

Ideal uses and sites for the Shadow 112HCT/EN

This speaker is designed for zone sound reinforcement both indoors and outdoors: facades and forecourts, corridors, reception areas, shopping centers, schools, sports facilities, places of worship, industrial sites, or transport hubs. Its size and controlled coverage allow building a coherent system by multiplying distribution points to achieve high intelligibility without excessively raising sound levels.

Thanks to the 100V transformer, installation is simplified over long distances with multiple speakers on the same line, while maintaining straightforward power management. In 8-ohm configuration, it also integrates into more traditional architectures, depending on project needs.

Performance, directivity, and design: what makes the difference

Controlled sound dispersion for speech and zone coverage

The Shadow 112HCT/EN features a 2-way configuration with a constant directivity horn. This approach helps maintain even coverage in the targeted area, useful both for announcement clarity and musical uniformity. The specified dispersion of 80 degrees (horizontal) x 50 degrees (vertical) facilitates beam control, practical for limiting unwanted reflections and better directing sound energy toward the audience.

High efficiency for large areas, even in noisy environments

With a 101 dB sensitivity and a max peak SPL of 123 dB, the speaker can deliver comfortable levels without overloading amplification. Its 250 W RMS power (800 W Peak) and recommendation for a 400 W amplifier follow a dynamic reserve logic, useful for voice and alert signals as well as more energetic music playback.

Built to last: protection, grille, and mounting

The weather-resistant molded polypropylene enclosure and IP55 rating allow for outdoor installation under appropriate conditions. The grille features a 3-layer splash protection, designed for exposed environments. The included steel U-bracket simplifies positioning and orientation, a key point to optimize coverage and intelligibility on site.
