FBT VHA 118.2 SA Active Subwoofer: Power and Precision for Professional Venues

Engineered for high-end sound reinforcement, the FBT VHA 118.2 SA active subwoofer combines advanced DSP, roadworthy construction, and tremendous low-end output. System designers and live engineers can achieve impactful, controlled bass in large venues, from stadiums to concert halls, with this model. High-output performance and installation flexibility merge, reflecting Italian manufacturing excellence. When using advanced DSP modes and a ground-stacked setup, the VHA 118.2 SA becomes a cornerstone for scalable professional PA systems.

Advanced Features for Demanding Applications

What distinguishes this subwoofer is the Powersoft Class-D amplifier module providing 2500W RMS and peaks up to 5000W. Six tuning presets, cardioid configuration, delay settings, and remote control via Infinito network software are all managed by the integrated DSP. Its birch plywood housing, M20 sockets for varied mounting, and reinforced steel grille ensure durability whether touring or in fixed installations.

Precision Bass Extension—Low Frequency Response

At the heart of the VHA 118.2 SA's appeal is its deep, musical bass. The extended frequency range brings added impact to live music, theater, and dance events. Special attention to porting and laminar airflow results in minimized turbulence and maximum energy below 100 Hz.

• LF: 18" — Long-excursion woofer with 4" voice coil for high-output, accurate bass
• Frequency Range: 30 Hz – 100 Hz — Reaches into subsonic territory for powerful low-end
• The SPL reaches 138/144 half-space dB, delivering significant output for the largest spaces.

Connectivity and DSP Control

Versatile integration is a key trait. XLR inputs with link, PowerCon connectors, and optional Dante network compatibility provide professionals with total control and flexibility. Presets for cardioid arrays, delay alignment, and source selection are managed from the onboard rotary selector or via Infinito software over Ethernet.

• Inputs: XLR — Professional-grade connectivity for seamless system integration
• Bluetooth: No — Prioritizes reliable wired and networked operation
• Control options cover DSP presets and remote management for swift venue adaptation.

Rugged Build and Road-Ready Design

The VHA 118.2 SA is built for durability. Made from 18 mm birch plywood and coated with anti-scratch varnish, it is equipped with six aluminum handles, and can be fitted with wheels or installed in ground-stacked arrays. To prevent rattling at extreme SPLs, a robust steel grille is supported by rubber isolation mounts, while internal damping foam and carefully designed porting minimize unwanted resonance during high-volume use.

• Cabinet: 18 mm birch plywood with black polyurea finish — survives heavy touring and rental use
• Six handles and an optional wheel kit make for fast load-ins at venues.
• Dual M20 sockets allow flexible setups in various environments.
