FBT Touring & Install MYRA 218S Reflex Loaded Active Subwoofer – 2×18″ – 3000Wrms

Description

Combining precision sound quality with practical hardware and FBT’s characteristic Italian style,

the Myra system

comprises the

214L mid/high line array

and the

218S subwoofer

. Both are the result of extensive consultation with the industry’s leading tour sound companies and an extensive,

three years R&D program

. Designed without compromise, the Myra establishes a new reference for

SPL to size ratio, directivity control, coherence, and ease of use.

At the heart of the 214L line array element is a new

coaxial 4-inch

voice coil mid-frequency and 2.5-inch voice coil high-frequency driver combination developed in cooperation with B&C, and covering the 400 Hz to 20 kHz range.

Combined output from the compression drivers is loaded by a proprietary short path waveguide that ensures

low distortion

and

controlled broadband directivity

. With extended frequency response down to 40Hz, which in most applications avoids the need for flown subwoofers, the 214L’s low frequency section employs uniquely sized B&C 14-inch high excursion drive units with 3-inch long excursion voice coils to maintain long throw projection of low frequencies with power and authority.

The cabinet construction typifies FBT’s signature

ﾑMade in Italy’

production philosophy. Completely fabricated in-house using premium Baltic birch and tour-ready weather-resistant polyurethane coating, the 214L is built for a life on the road.

Audio crews will appreciate the

intuitive four-point integrated rigging system

which allows up to

24 cabinets

to be flown quickly and easily in any venue with

splay angle from 0.25° to 8°

.

An auto-locking internal mechanism makes it easy to set arrays at the desired inter-element angles using selector pins and securely lock all cabinets at the selected angle when lift-up.

The

MYRA 214L is Bi-Amped through a NEUTRIK NL4M connectors

, one channel for LF and one for the MID/HF with internal passive crossover. The lowest octave of the Myra system is seamlessly reproduced by the companion

218S, a reflex-loaded dual 18-inch subwoofer

featuring

custom-designed, very long excursion B&C drivers

.

Combining accurate cabinet resonance study and ingenious port arrangement which is designed to

reduce turbulence and eliminate non-linearity

, MYRA 218S delivers substantial low frequency energy down to 25Hz, and can offer standard or cardioid directivity with suitable DSP preset and physical deployment. As with the 214L mid/high enclosure, the 218S cabinet benefits from

premium Baltic plywood construction

and, to ensure long term road-worthiness and all-weather resistance, is protected by a

durable polyurethane coating

. A two-point rigging system is flush-mounted into the cabinet, allowing the suspension of up to 12 enclosures with a 4:1 safety factor. Trucking and handling are made easy by the eight comfortable, ergonomically placed rubber gripped aluminium bar handles, along with removable heavy-duty casters.
