{"product_id":"fbt-ventis-108a-active-speaker","title":"FBT Ventis 108A Active Speaker","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"1387\"\u003eThe FBT Ventis 108A is a compact professional active point source loudspeaker designed for live sound, installation and portable AV applications where high output, clear sound and flexible positioning are required. Built around an 8 inch low frequency driver and a 1 inch high frequency compression driver, the Ventis 108A delivers powerful performance from a relatively compact cabinet, making it suitable for venues, AV installers, hire companies, schools, houses of worship, corporate events, hospitality spaces and small to medium live performance environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1389\" data-end=\"1941\"\u003eThe Ventis 108A is a 2 way active loudspeaker with integrated bi-amplification. The low frequency section is powered by a 700W RMS Class-D amplifier, while the high frequency section uses a 200W RMS Class-H\/AB amplifier. This gives the speaker a total of 900W RMS amplification, delivering strong output, efficient performance and detailed high frequency reproduction. FBT specifies a maximum SPL of 123dB continuous and 131dB peak, making the Ventis 108A capable of producing impressive sound levels for its size. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1943\" data-end=\"2441\"\u003eThe loudspeaker features a frequency response of 65Hz to 20kHz at -6dB, making it suitable for full-range speech, music playback, front fill, delay fill, under-balcony use and compact PA applications. For systems requiring extended low frequency performance, the Ventis 108A can also be paired with a suitable subwoofer as part of a wider sound reinforcement system. Its size and output make it particularly useful where a smaller enclosure is required without stepping too far down in performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2443\" data-end=\"2998\"\u003eA key benefit of the Ventis 108A is its birch plywood cabinet construction. The enclosure is scratch resistant and internally braced, helping provide a robust finish for professional use. This makes it suitable for both portable and fixed applications, including event work, stage use, school halls, theatre spaces, small venues and commercial AV installations. The cabinet includes two aluminium handles with rubber inserts, giving users a practical way to handle and position the speaker during setup and transport. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3000\" data-end=\"3593\"\u003eThe 80° horizontal by 50° vertical constant directivity horn is rotatable, giving installers and users the flexibility to optimise coverage depending on whether the loudspeaker is used horizontally or vertically. This is valuable in fixed installations, front-fill applications, under-balcony positions and stage monitoring setups where controlled coverage helps direct sound towards the listening area. The rotatable horn makes the Ventis 108A more adaptable than a fixed-dispersion cabinet, particularly in rooms where mounting orientation may be dictated by space or sightline requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3595\" data-end=\"4080\"\u003eThe onboard DSP gives the user practical control over the sound of the loudspeaker. Six pre-optimised presets are available, including Original\/Live, Vocal, DJ, Touring, Loudness and Warm. Two additional user preset slots are also provided, each with five parametric EQ filters. This allows the speaker to be adapted for different applications, from speech-focused installations and vocal reinforcement through to DJ playback and live performance. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4082\" data-end=\"4577\"\u003eFurther DSP functions include a high-pass filter, mic\/line selector, low, mid and high EQ, and a delay line adjustable between 0 and 10 metres. Users can also choose between three limiter modes: MIN, NORMAL and MAX. These features make the Ventis 108A highly practical for real-world AV work, where room conditions, source type and system layout can vary from one application to another. For installers, the built-in DSP can reduce the need for additional external processing in simpler systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4579\" data-end=\"5063\"\u003eThe input section includes XLR with loop-through and RCA stereo connectivity, making the speaker suitable for a variety of source and system configurations. The XLR input and loop output are useful for professional audio setups where multiple speakers need to be linked, while the RCA stereo input can be useful for playback sources or simpler audio systems. The listed input impedance is 22kOhm, and the speaker is supplied with a 5m power cord. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5065\" data-end=\"5545\"\u003eThe Ventis 108A is also highly flexible from an installation perspective. It includes a 1.38 inch pole mount socket for use on speaker stands or poles, a 45° sloped profile for use as a compact stage monitor, and four M5 rigging points for suspension options. This allows the same speaker to be used as a main PA cabinet, front fill, under-balcony speaker, stage monitor or fixed installation loudspeaker depending on the project requirement. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"5547\" data-end=\"6106\"\u003eWith dimensions of 274 x 500 x 300mm and a net weight of 14kg, the FBT Ventis 108A is compact enough for portable use while still offering professional output and build quality. Transport dimensions are listed as 355 x 545 x 385mm, with a transport weight of 15.5kg. For AV installers, venues and event users looking for a compact active loudspeaker with serious performance, flexible DSP, rotatable horn coverage and a durable birch plywood enclosure, the FBT Ventis 108A is a strong solution for both installed and portable sound reinforcement applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FBT Audio","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":56656991977858,"sku":"41212","price":825.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":56656992010626,"sku":"41213W","price":825.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/5767\/2578\/files\/Ventis108A.png?v=1779114503","url":"https:\/\/www.theavbarn.co.uk\/products\/fbt-ventis-108a-active-speaker","provider":"The AV Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
