The FBT Vertus CLA 406.2A is a premium active column line array designed for live sound reinforcement and fixed installations, delivering powerful, controlled, and intelligible audio through its elegant and compact form.
The Vertus CLA 406.2A elevates column array performance with its Italian-engineered design. The bi-amplified system ensures tight, dynamic low end and crisp, extended highs, while DSP presets enable swift tuning to venue acoustics. A broad yet controlled dispersion pattern minimizes unwanted reflections and feedback, ideal for both challenging live environments and fixed installs. Modular construction with coupling hardware gives flexibility to scale vertically, and robust birch-plywood cabinetry wrapped in scratch-resistant coating makes it both elegant and rugged.
Fronted by a heavy-duty metal grille and reinforced handles, the CLA 406.2A is transport-ready, yet visually discreet—blending stylishly into corporate, worship, and live event spaces. Comprehensive connectivity, including PowerCON in/link, XLR I/O, ground lift, and status LEDs, ensures seamless integration into professional audio systems.
I really wanted to go with the RCF HD-6’s as I do both Dj and live events! Unfortunately, they are out of stock but after talking with Tom, I was had questions about the RCF NX-24L’s and he leaned me towards the FBT Vertus CLA 406.2A’s. I’m kind of a speaker snob, I’ve purchased many speakers, sold many of them off as I didn’t like them. The most recent sell offs were the JBL SRX815P’s , these were probably the most well reviewed speaker online and I couldn’t stand the way they sounded, That said, my Arsenal of go to speakers are all RCF, minus the subwoofers (have too much invested in the JBL’s SRX 828SSP’s to “give” them away). So, I dropped the money to order the FBT’s! I had buyers remorse almost immediately thinking about how many other speakers I could have purchased instead of these for the price. They were shipped but unfortunately the trucking company that brought them to Colorado, had no labor’s to unload these trucks, Even though they were in Denver I had to wait another 16 days until they unloaded the trailer. I picked them up at the dock got them home and plugged in immediately! I had my phone playing music through them in the garage and needless to say, I did not like the way they sounded! For the money I spent, I guess I expected a lot more, I was very disappointed. The true test of these speakers was a rockabilly band at a small festival of about 1500 people. I arrived early to test these out with a JBL SRX828sp on each side of the stage and I was blown away! I was surprised by the clarity, volume, and throw of these speakers, I went back to the trailer and broke out another pair of 828sp subs and man it was pretty! Just one FBT per side with 2 subs per side sounded phenomenal! I have nothing to really compare the FBT’s to but it sounded WAY better than two JBL SRX815P per side that I would usually put up for these type of events. I will get the occasional compliment for the way an event sounds but that night I was bombarded with compliments! The sound was even steven everywhere I walked with my ipad, the tops were just amazing, I can’t say enough about these things. A little FYI, I was a little concerned in the beginning because the temperature outside was 101 degrees and the speakers were in direct sunlight! I wasn’t sure if I was going to have an issue with these shutting down because of the heat (or the subs). The band started at 5:00pm and these speakers were extremely hot to the touch, but in the end it was all good. I’ve never heard FBT speakers before and man they sounded good! They are scalable but I don’t think I would really need anything more than just one per side. Now, I’m thinking I need to go with the FBT Subwoofers, if the tops sound this good the subs have to be way better than the JBL’s, thanks a lot Tom!
: Very glad to hear this about these speakers. We have been wanting to hear them for a while now . By joining this group and website I was able to confirm that if I can make it to their warehouse they will set up a pair of these with the subs as well as a pair of LD44G2’s . We might end up with one LD system for smaller gigs. But use the others for our larger shows. It’s for live music shows
