A Modular Design Made for Stage and Installation
The VERTUS CS1000 fits within the spirit of modern "column" systems: reduced footprint, wide coverage, and high intelligibility, while retaining the impact of a true subwoofer. Its birch plywood structure and Italian design and manufacturing aim for durable use, suitable for both service providers and equipped venues (bars, restaurants, multipurpose rooms, corporate spaces).
The subwoofer includes a rear compartment dedicated to storing the satellite, cables, and coupling bar. This is a real daily advantage: fewer elements to manage, less chance of forgetting, and smoother setup before soundcheck.
For Whom and What: A Versatile System That Remains Simple
The CS1000 is particularly suited for live applications (vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards, compact DJ sets, small ensembles) and fixed installations where a discreet yet high-performance system is desired. Thanks to its 110 deg x 30 deg dispersion, it effectively projects horizontally while maintaining controlled vertical directivity, which helps preserve clarity in reverberant environments.
With a frequency response rated at 40 Hz - 20 kHz (-6 dB) and a level of 125 dB SPL continuous / 129 dB SPL peak, it offers the typical balance of a column system: clear mids for vocals and a solid foundation via the 12" subwoofer.
DSP, Class D Amplification, and Acoustic Architecture: Efficiency and Control
Bi-amplification and Available Power
The subwoofer houses a Class D amplifier with a split of 600 W RMS for low frequencies and 400 W RMS for the satellite. This architecture optimizes dynamics by providing headroom where energy demand is highest (bass), while maintaining precise reproduction in the upper spectrum.
The system also features peak power of 1200 W (LF) / 800 W (HF), useful for handling transients (kick attacks, slap, percussion) without distortion when the mix becomes denser.
Digital Processing and 8 EQ Presets
Digital signal processing is paired with EQ control via 8 DSP presets. The goal is clear: quickly achieve a coherent sound depending on the context (speech, background music, live, close placement near a wall, etc.) without complex adjustments. This is a real convenience for musicians and technicians who move between multiple venues and setups.
Transducers and Dispersion
The satellite uses 6 Neodymium 3" drivers to deliver articulate response and strong presence, while the 12" subwoofer operates in bass reflex mode to support the low end. The subwoofer is specified as stackable, a practical option if you need to optimize floor space or adapt the configuration to the available area.
Transport, Setup, and Accessories
The CS1000 is designed to minimize handling: the coupling bar and satellite store inside the subwoofer, and the button retention system allows quick locking/unlocking of the satellite. The satellite is also equipped with a coupling system for accessories, useful for integrating the system into a clean stage setup (depending on mounting needs).

Questions frequently asked
Is the FBT Vertus CS 1000 suitable for a singer-guitarist or a small band?
This system covers applications for vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboards, compact DJ sets, and small ensembles. Its 12-inch bass-reflex cabinet and 1000 W RMS power provide sound reinforcement suited for compact live performances.
What is the power output and sound level of the column system?
The Class D amplification delivers 600 W RMS for the woofer and 400 W RMS for the satellite. The maximum SPL is rated at 125 dB continuous and 129 dB peak.
What sound coverage does the column provide?
The dispersion is 110° horizontal and 30° vertical, promoting wide coverage with controlled vertical directivity. The stated frequency response ranges from 40 Hz to 20 kHz at -6 dB. The satellite’s six 3-inch neodymium drivers handle the upper frequency range.
Which DSP settings are available on this FBT system?
Eight DSP equalization presets are built into the digital processing. These settings allow quick adaptation of the sound output to the playback environment.
Can the satellite and accessories be stored in the cabinet?
A rear compartment houses the satellite, cables, and coupling bar. The 3.5 kg satellite locks and unlocks via a button system, while the cabinet weighs 22.4 kg.
