2x Ventis 112A + 2x Subline 118SA

The FBT VN 4000 Package is the pinnacle of the VN series.
It is built around four boxes: a pair of Ventis 112A’SAs and a pair of Subline 118SAs, bundled together with a pair of variable-height connecting poles. This makes for a powerful full-range mobile PA system that also offers the added flexibility to be broken down into smaller setups if that’s what a particular event or situation requires.

Ventis 112A

The Ventis 112A is an extraordinary active speaker featuring a 12” low frequency woofer and a 1” B&C high frequency compression driver arranged in a vertical configuration. It’s a great-sounding, solid box made out of 15mm birch ply finished in a scratch-resistant paint and features a full-face grille. At just 20.6kg, it’s incredibly easy to move around using the integrated handle on the top of the cabinet. It also features a number of M10 suspension points, so it’s perfect for permanent installation, as well as a 35mm top-hat underneath for mounting on the included sub pole or a standalone tripod.

Around the back, you’ll find the amp module that almost spans the entire width of the cabinet and offers 700W RMS of low-frequency amplification and 200W RMS of high-frequency. As with the rest of the Ventis range, the LF is Class D while the HF is Class H/AB.

Power is delivered by a powerCON TRUE1 connector, and an AC loop out is also included so you can daisy-chain the power for another cabinet.

Input-wise, the Ventis 112A offers a single XLR / ¼-inch jack combi socket that can accept both a LINE or MIC level signal and a pair of RCA phono connections to allow, for example, an external MP3 player to be directly connected. Both inputs have a dedicated level control, which means that a mic and background music source can be connected and mixed without the need for a separate mixer. An XLR output socket is also provided to allow the audio signal to loop out to another cabinet.

The built-in DSP – accessed via a large backlit LCD display and corresponding turn-and-push control dial – allows you to fine-tune the sound to your own liking. It also allows you to dial in a delay (0-10 metres), which is very useful for conference work, as well as a Hi-Pass filter. This means that you can either run the box full-range, so it’s useful as a discreet cabinet for wedding ceremonies or speeches, or allow it to concentrate all of its power on the hi/mid frequencies when you have the sub connected.

The Subline 115SA active cabinet is a 15″ subwoofer. The band-pass design of its predecessor, the 15SA, has been updated to a more traditional bass-reflex configuration, resulting in a smaller and lighter cabinet. Some would argue that a front-firing box like this really needs to be a lot bigger, with chunky drivers, in order to get really low, but that’s certainly not the case with the amazing 118SA.

The 118SA is built around 18″ woofer with a 3-inch voice coil. This offers a huge amount of punch and high SPL (137 dB )from an incredibly compact design. The amp module offers 1200 W RMS and has a built-in  DSP with eight different presets. You also get an 8-step delay control and a Phase push button.

Two XLR input sockets (a stereo pair) are provided alongside corresponding outputs and a push button to activate or bypass the variable High Pass filter. This means that, for smaller gigs, you can run the VN4000 as a 3-box system with your mixer connected to a single sub feeding the two top boxes in stereo.

Looks-wise, the sub matches the 112A perfectly, with its birch-ply cabinet finished in the same scratch-resistant paint and full-face grille. Two ergonomic handles on the side make it easy to lift and, at just 44.5kg, this 18″ sub is a true portable design with no compromise on performance.

The VN4000 is perfect for conference work, ceremonies, speeches and perfect for DJ or live music events
