A "Controlled Directivity" Approach Designed for Modern Installations
This powered speaker fits within the logic of controlled beam sound systems, designed to direct sound energy where it is needed. Motorized directivity allows adjusting the projection based on the venue's architecture, reverberation constraints, and listening area, while maintaining a clean installation and simplifying daily operation.
For Whom and What: Intelligible Speech, Specific Zones, Reverberant Environments
It is primarily intended for fixed installations and events where the goal is comprehension rather than mere acoustic pressure: conference rooms, places of worship, auditoriums, multipurpose spaces, lobbies, and reception areas. The angle and beamwidth settings facilitate adaptation to seated/standing audiences, tiered seating, or zones to cover without unnecessarily illuminating walls and ceilings.
Motorized Adjustments, DSP, and Multi-Transducer Architecture
Motorized Directivity: Adjusting Angle and Beamwidth
The Tilt angle and Beamwidth parameters offer direct control over how the speaker "aims" at the listening area. This is a major advantage for limiting unwanted reflections and improving intelligibility, especially when the room has hard surfaces or a high ceiling.
Class D Amplification: 8 Channels for a Homogeneous Response
The Class D amplification of 8 x 40 W RMS is sized to drive all transducers, with an approach that favors coherence and control of the sound output. The stated output level (Max SPL 139 dB ) allows maintaining headroom, even when diffusion needs to remain precise and directive.
Built-in DSP: 4 Presets to Get Straight to the Point
The integrated DSP provides 4 presets to quickly adapt the speaker's behavior according to the application. This approach simplifies commissioning and ensures consistent results from one event to another, or from one zone to another, without multiplying external adjustments.

Questions frequently asked
Is the FBT Install Vertus MLA 801A suitable for a reverberant room?
The motorized directivity allows adjustment of the aiming angle and beamwidth to limit sound dispersion towards walls and ceiling. This management is intended for conference rooms, places of worship, and auditoriums where speech intelligibility is a priority.
How to adjust the sound coverage of this speaker?
The Tilt angle and Beamwidth settings control the orientation and diffusion width respectively. Four DSP presets are available to quickly adapt the speaker's behavior to the application.
What power and SPL level does the MLA 801A provide?
The Class D amplification delivers 8 x 40 W RMS and the maximum stated level reaches 139 dB SPL.
What audio connections are available?
One XLR input and one XLR link output provide system connectivity. The input impedance is 22 kOhm. No Bluetooth is integrated.
What is the driver configuration and what are the dimensions?
The sound section is based on 8 x 0.75 inch transducers, with a crossover at 1.8 kHz. The enclosure measures 625 x 242 x 240 mm and weighs 18 kg.
