A Subwoofer Designed to Naturally Integrate into a Modern Sound System
The FBT Q 118SA follows a "ready to play" philosophy: an active subwoofer designed to provide a solid foundation to a sound system while remaining easy to deploy. The FBT brand, known for its professional products made in Italy, emphasizes a key balance for live performance: available power, accessible DSP control, and connectivity suited for daisy-chaining.
Its form factor and features (M20 mounts, handles, XLR connections) clearly target stage use, mobile performances, and installations, with one goal: saving setup time and achieving coherent bass without multiplying external devices.
Who Is the FBT Q 118SA For and What Are Its Uses?
This active subwoofer is aimed at sound professionals, DJs, bands, venues, and control rooms looking for a subwoofer capable of supporting a front line with clean and energetic bass. Thanks to its frequency range focused on the infra and low spectrum (30-100 Hz), it is particularly relevant for styles where the sense of impact matters as much as volume: electronic music, hip-hop, pop, rock, but also to reinforce vocals and instruments live when a broader foundation is desired.
The Q 118SA is also suitable for modular setups: a single sub to densify a compact system, or multiple subs to increase coverage and acoustic pressure. In all cases, the built-in tools (presets, delay, phase inversion) facilitate adaptation to the room, placement, and speakers used.

Questions frequently asked
What power and SPL level does the FBT Q 118SA provide?
The Class D amplification delivers 1200 W RMS and the maximum announced SPL reaches 139 dB. The 18-inch B&C driver is bass-reflex loaded.
Does the subwoofer go low enough for electronic music?
The specified frequency range of 30 to 100 Hz covers the sub-bass and lower spectrum. This range is suitable for reinforcing kicks, basslines, and sub effects.
How to adjust the delay and phase of the subwoofer?
The built-in DSP includes 6 presets, a delay setting, and a phase inverter. It is thus possible to align the sub with the main speakers according to their placement. Phase inversion helps reduce bass cancellations caused by acoustics or system layout.
What XLR connections are available?
Two XLR inputs and two XLR link outputs allow connecting the source and chaining additional system components.
Can a speaker be mounted on top of the subwoofer?
Two M20 mounts are provided to accommodate a pole adapter. The 18 mm birch plywood enclosure also features 4 handles and measures 550 x 700 x 700 mm, weighing 58 kg.
