The FBT VERTUS CLA 406.2A Active Line Array Speaker delivers powerful, controlled sound reinforcement in a compact column-style enclosure designed for professional live sound and permanent installations. AVMaxx shoppers looking for a scalable powered line array get four custom 6.5-inch woofers, a premium B&C neodymium compression driver, 900W RMS Class-D bi-amplification, onboard DSP and up to 133 dB maximum SPL.
Completely manufactured in Italy, the CLA 406.2A combines high output with a narrow physical footprint and controlled 100° horizontal × 25° vertical dispersion, making it an excellent solution for live music, DJs, production companies, houses of worship, theaters, clubs, corporate events and fixed installations.
Four 6.5-Inch Woofers with B&C Compression Driver
The CLA 406.2A features four custom 6.5-inch low-frequency woofers with 1.5-inch voice coils paired with a 1.4-inch throat B&C neodymium compression driver featuring a 2.5-inch voice coil.
This professional driver configuration is engineered to deliver strong midrange output, vocal intelligibility and detailed high-frequency reproduction while maintaining the slim dimensions that make the VERTUS CLA system attractive for both portable and installed applications.
900W RMS Class-D Bi-Amplified Power
Integrated Class-D amplification provides 600W RMS for the low-frequency section and 300W RMS for the high-frequency section, delivering 900 watts RMS of total onboard amplification.
Peak amplifier output reaches 1200W LF + 600W HF, giving the system substantial dynamic headroom from a compact powered enclosure.
The system reaches a maximum output of 133 dB SPL with a frequency response of 65 Hz to 20 kHz, providing the performance required for professional music and speech reinforcement.
Integrated DSP with 8 EQ Presets
An onboard DSP processor provides eight equalization presets, allowing the system to be optimized for different configurations and applications.
The rear control panel provides XLR input and link connections, level control, preset selection, high-pass filtering and ground lift, giving sound professionals direct access to essential system settings without requiring external processing for basic operation.
Wide 100° Horizontal Coverage
The large-format FBT waveguide provides 100° horizontal × 25° vertical dispersion, producing broad horizontal coverage while controlling vertical energy.
This coverage pattern makes the CLA 406.2A particularly useful in venues where consistent audience coverage and speech intelligibility are important while minimizing unnecessary sound energy toward ceilings and floors.
Scalable VERTUS CLA Line Array System
The FBT VERTUS CLA 406.2A is designed as part of a scalable professional sound reinforcement platform rather than simply a standalone powered speaker.
FBT's VERTUS CLA family includes complementary active and passive line array elements and dedicated subwoofers, allowing systems to be configured for portable PA applications as well as permanent installations.
For applications requiring additional low-frequency extension, FBT specifically identifies the CLA 118SA active subwoofer as a companion for live applications using the CLA 406.2A.
Professional Birch Plywood Construction
The enclosure is manufactured from rugged 12 mm birch plywood with a scratch-resistant finish, providing the durability expected from professional touring and installation equipment.
Two integrated side handles simplify transportation, while protective rubber inserts and anti-slip surfaces help protect the cabinet during setup, transportation and regular professional use.
Despite housing four 6.5-inch woofers, the enclosure measures only approximately 7.5 inches wide, allowing powerful professional sound systems to be deployed without the visual footprint of conventional large-format loudspeaker cabinets.
Ideal for Live Sound, DJs and Installations
The FBT VERTUS CLA 406.2A powered line array speaker is an excellent choice for live music venues, DJs, mobile production companies, houses of worship, theaters, clubs, corporate AV, performing arts facilities and permanent sound installations.
For AVMaxx shoppers looking for a premium active column line array, the CLA 406.2A combines four 6.5-inch woofers, B&C high-frequency technology, 900W RMS amplification, DSP processing, 133 dB maximum SPL and 100° horizontal coverage in a compact professional system manufactured in Italy.
