FBT Touring Horizon VHA406 ND

A Solution Designed for the Horizon Ecosystem and Network-Controlled Systems

The FBT Horizon VHA 406 ND fits into a modern sound reinforcement approach: line-array diffusion, integrated amplification, and audio transport over network to simplify cabling and speed up deployment. Its manufacturer reference 44255 identifies a model designed to be part of a sound chain where supervision, consistency, and repeatability of settings matter as much as raw power.

With its AES70 compatibility and DANTE transport, it targets configurations expecting clear integration into a network workflow, while retaining analog XLR inputs/outputs to adapt to various technical environments.

Who Is the FBT Horizon VHA 406 ND For?

This speaker is particularly suited for live performances, tours, multipurpose venues, and installations requiring controlled coverage. The stated directivity (H 90 deg x V 20 deg) aligns with a line-array diffusion logic, useful when you want to project energy toward the listening area and limit off-axis interactions.

It is also ideal for technical teams seeking to save time during setup: network management, remote control, and onboard interface allow quick interventions, whether adjusting a level, validating routing, or harmonizing a set of speakers within a system.

Network, Control, and Amplification: A Speaker Ready for Modern Control Rooms

The VHA 406 ND combines "classic" operation (analog audio via XLR) and an audio-over-IP approach thanks to DANTE (24-bit, 48-96 kHz). In practice, this enables audio signal transport over network cable, more flexible patching, and centralization of certain streams on an adapted infrastructure.

Remote Supervision and Onboard Ergonomics

Control can be performed remotely via INFINITO System Management Suite, while the speaker maintains local handling thanks to its OLED screen and PUSH encoder. This dual level of control is relevant both in live events and installations, when you want to supervise globally and still have the option to adjust directly on the speaker.

Class D Digital Bi-Amplification and Dedicated Transducers

The onboard amplification in Class D digital bi-amplification delivers 800 W RMS for the low-frequency section and 400 W RMS for the high-frequency section, with peak values of 1600 W (low frequencies) and 800 W (high frequencies). The bass section relies on 4 x 6.5-inch (165 mm) speakers with 1.5-inch (38 mm) voice coils, while the high frequencies are handled by a 1.4-inch (36 mm) tweeter equipped with a 2.5-inch (64 mm) diaphragm.

This architecture aims to maintain definition in the upper spectrum while ensuring a solid foundation, with a frequency response from 65 Hz to 20 kHz. For level handling, the speaker claims 128 dB SPL continuous and 133 dB SPL peak, values consistent with sound reinforcement use where impact and clarity are sought.

Construction and Hardware for Field Use

The 18 mm birch plywood cabinet is combined with a scratch-resistant finish and a perforated steel protective grille, a classic trio to withstand handling and operational constraints. Handles with rubber inserts facilitate grip, and the presence of 2 M20 threaded inserts contributes to mounting options depending on the context.
