FBT Ventis 110

Ventis 110: the "serious" approach to a 10-inch 2-way in the FBT range

The FBT Ventis 110 embodies the spirit of a versatile passive speaker, designed to deliver clean and controlled projection in an easy-to-integrate format. Its Bass Reflex loading, internal crossover (cutoff at 1.8 kHz), and controlled directivity make it a coherent solution for contractors, bands, and installations seeking reliable performance without complicating the audio chain. The choice of a 15 mm birch plywood cabinet and Speakon connectors aligns with a product designed for stage, rehearsal, and fixed installation use.

Intended uses and target profiles

The Ventis 110 is aimed at those who want to build a modular system with external amplification: musicians, DJs, small sound reinforcement events, rehearsal rooms, places of worship, concert bars, or installations requiring a discreet speaker capable of reaching high levels. With a nominal impedance of 8 ohms and an RMS power of 150 W (600 W peak), it easily pairs with a suitable amplifier, with recommended amplification at 300 W RMS. It is particularly suitable when you want to maintain control over the choice of amplifier, processor, and crossover settings.

Coverage control, integration, and performance: what makes the difference

Rotatable horn and 80 deg x 50 deg directivity

The rotatable horn allows adapting the dispersion orientation to match the real environment: wider or narrower coverage depending on the layout, mounting height, or width of the area to cover. The 80 deg (horizontal) x 50 deg (vertical) directivity helps limit unwanted reflections and improves intelligibility, especially for vocals and mid-high sources.

A coherent transducer set for clean sound reproduction

The 10-inch woofer (2-inch voice coil) delivers solid low-mid frequencies and a useful response for most musical content and speech, while the 1-inch tweeter (1.4-inch voice coil) aims for precise detail reproduction. The 1.8 kHz crossover frequency contributes to a clear transition between drivers, and the stated frequency response of 60 Hz to 18 kHz covers the essentials for a compact speaker, especially when used with properly sized crossover and amplification.

System optimization: recommended high-pass filter

To protect the speaker and stabilize low-frequency behavior, a high-pass filter is recommended: HP 50 Hz with a slope of 12 to 24 dB/oct. This approach is particularly useful in sound reinforcement applications, where the goal is to gain headroom and limit unnecessary excursions, especially if the speaker is complemented by a subwoofer.

Mounting, transport, and cabling: designed for everyday use

With a 35 mm pole mount and three M10 inserts for rigging, the Ventis 110 easily integrates into mobile or fixed setups. The presence of two Speakon input connectors simplifies cabling and connections on site. A handle is provided for handling, and an optional adjustable bracket (VN-U110) is available for installations requiring precise orientation.
