MUSE

210L

Precision Coverage Vertical Passive Array

Description

A true line array system encompassing advanced technology and refined italian engineering, these are the principles behind MUSE, a new sound reinforcement solutin from FBT that redefines the modern line array in terms of power, size, light weight,m flexibility and ease of use. True modularity means that MUSE is ready for any application, from a small installation using two enclosures to a large outdoor concert deploying 16 speakers for hang.

Each modular MUSE element comprises two 250mm (10") custom designed woofers with 64mm (2,51") high excursion voice coil and two custom B&C HF compression drivers with 25mm (1") throat. The waveguide, optimised via a series of simulations using BEM finite elements to eliminate distorsion, boasts a horizontal dispersion of 90° , it has been designed to present an optimal load to the driver's diaphragm at 800Hz, thereby allowing the propagation of an acoustic wave in the horizontal field up to 18kHz. The resulting enclosure can contend with even the most challenging of physical environments, delivering an ideal cylindrical source, while the acoustic configuration of the central horn offers a particularly linear and simmetric horizontal dispersion. FBT has also applied its Italian design expertise to the cabiner, creating an enclosure that is equally rugged, practical and stylish. Constructed from 15mm birch plywood, each MUSE element incorporates two die-cast aluminium handles and fully integrated hardware to suit any applications. Up to 16 MUSE enclosures can be flown with ease in a single array.

Each cabinet can be splayed in 1° increments via simple pin adjustments on the integrated fly-ware, from a minimum of 0°. No matter the application, MUSE brings an easy-to-use functionality and elegant aesthetic to every project. Inside the box, power is courtesy of the convection-cooled, 600+300W RMS Class D amplifier module, housed in a protective, fully sealed die-cast aluminium chassis. Meanwhile the onboard DSP offers a choice of eight presets, allowing users to easily configure their MUSE system depending on the curvature of arrays and the number of speakers used. To extend the low frequency performance of a MUSE system, users can benefit from the matched subwoofer the SUBLINE 218SA, which is ideal for ground-stacking.

  • PRESET: to choose among 8 presets each one corresponding to a system configuration, according to the number of speakers in use, and to their angle (see PRESET section).
    • LEVEL: adjust the level of the internal amplifier.
  • HF LEVEL: this control corresponds to a HIGH SHELVING filter, aimed to provide the system with a frequency response as even as possible through the whole listening area. The HF LEVEL control is extremely useful, and can be used in two ways:
  • AMPLITUDE SHADING: top speakers are generally configured with the HF LEVEL set at -dB, whereas central ones are generally set at 0dB, and bottom ones closer to the audience at -dB. This serves to compensate for the atmospheric attenuation of acoustic waves, which is significant at high frequencies. It is also used to avoid discomfort for those people in the audience standing close to the system, which may be due to the extremely high energy of treble frequencies.

FBT 210L - 210LA - 210LAV - 210LA / 210LAV - 2

  • TOGETHER WITH THE PRESET: in small systems consisting of 2, 3 or 4 speakers per side, users can adjust the balance of tones by acting on the HF LEVEL control while selecting one of the A-B-C presets.
  • GND LIFT: switch to isolate the chassis ground and the signal ground to avoid ground loops, which can cause hum problems.
    • ON: indicates that the system is on.
  • HP FILTER: this switch activates the low-cut filter which lets only the frequencies above the cut-off frequency pass at the output.
  • PEAK: when this led lights up indicates that the signal is reaching saturation.
  • LMT/PRT: if this led lights up there is a system malfunction due to an internal amplifier failure or to the intervention of current limiting circuits against thermal overload.
  • IN/LINK: balanced input/output sockets: "IN" allows to connect a pre-amplified signal such as that coming, for instance, from mixer output. "LINK" allows to connect multiple speakers to the same signal.

  • D) 4 to 6 SPKR 5° to 10°: when the system includes 4, 5 o 6 speakers and the angle between them is 5° e 10°. Eg: If the system consists of 6 speakers, and the angles (between them, from top to bottom) are: 0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, 8°, 10°; preset “C” is set for the first three speakers, while preset “D” is selected for last three speakers (with 6°, 8°, 10° inclination).
  • E-F-G-H): see the description of preset C and D, with a different number of speakers.

FBT 210L - 210LA - 210LAV - 210LA / 210LAV - 1

NOTE | As the number of array elements increases, bass frequencies add up in all directions, since single modules are not directional at these frequencies. At high frequencies, instead, each speaker is extremely directional and, actually, there is poor interaction between speakers. Each preset corresponds to a different equalisation curve in order to obtain a constantly flat and balanced frequency response as the number of speakers included in the array increases, compensating for this change. In presets A to H, the equalisation programmed in the DSP tends to cut bass and boost treble frequencies, to put it simply. Obviously, each system configuration should correspond to a specific equalisation curve in order to obtain the same response in a certain listening point. Since the number of presets is limited, each group of configu-

rations is associated to a preset. This necessarily creates a border zone where both adjacent presets can be set to obtain the best system performance. This is why users shall consider preset settings as a suggestion by the manufacturer, a starting point, not a limit to their experiments. Since there are infinite possible system configurations and environments where sound can be spread, choosing the best preset will be the responsibility of the user.

If users are experienced enough and equipped with the proper mixer console measurement tools, they can leave preset A selected, and carry out system equalisation through an external digital loudspeaker management device, such as FBT DLM26 or FBT QUBE SP27.

XLR connections

The XLR connection is a type of balanced connection that allows the connection of devices over long distances without loss of quality due to the background noise detected. This is made possible by the presence, as well as by the mass (pin 1), of two cables: a signal cable (pin 2) and a 180° dephased signal cable (pin 3); at the opposite end of the signal source, on both these cables, in addition to the actual signal, the same quantity and type of background noise possibly detected along the path or inevitably produced by the cables (not the one for thermal agitation) will be present in phase. The signal will then be taken from the two cables by difference: in this way the useful part will be double amplitude while the noise detected or produced along the path, being present in phase on both cables, will be cancelled by the difference operation. In the three-pin version it is normally used for the termination of balanced audio lines but it is often also used for unbalanced signals creating a short circuit between the mass and the cold pin. The EIA RS-297-A standard requires that the three-pin XLR connectors for balanced audio are wired as shown in fig.

Speakon

Speakon connectors are connected in parallel mode. One connector can be used to connect the box to the output of a power amplifier, the other to connect to a second box. Loudspeaker cables shall have the adequate diameter, depending on the overall lenght of the connection. The resistance introduced by an inadequate wiring towards the loudspeakers would reduce both the power output and the damping factor of the loudspeaker. Speakon is a connector which is specially adapted for connecting power terminals to loudspeakers; when inserted in an appropriate socket it locks so as to prevent accidental disconnection; moreover, it is equipped with protection against electrical shocks and guarantees correct polarisation.

Jack

The Jacks are typical connectors for the transporting of two separate signals through two channels, left and right, using a single connector and therefore they can be either mono or stereo. Mono jack (TS) also known as unbalanced jacks, are recognisable from stereo or balanced jacks (TRS) by their composition. The point of the mono jacks is divided into two parts, tip and ground (Tip and Slave) to which the two poles are connected; the stereo or balanced jacks are divided in three parts, as they have a central ring (Ring) which is connected to a second wire, the third (negative) pole.

VERTICAL ARRAY system assembly guide

The configurations suggested by this manual were verified through computer modelling and operational testing; even in recommended configuration, before hanging any MUSE system check the relevant load limits.

Special attention was paid to the selection of the materials and manufacturing so as to permit high safely levels. The staff in charge of hanging the array system must be skilled and qualified; the installer/user will be responsible of ascertaining limits and lifting procedures for the structures to which the array will be attached. An improper use of the array suspension system may cause major damage to person and things.

Operations to be carried out:

  • Inspet the hanging matrerial before every use.
  • Observe all laws, local and national regulations about safety of installations.
  • Hang the system to the attachment position indicated in the manual.
    • Use skill staff only.
  • Ensure all locking devices are perfectly fitted.
  • Ensure the capacity of lifting points and devices is greater than the load to be lifted.

Operations to avoid:

  • Do not hang anything before reading the manual.
    • Do not use unskilled stadd.
    • Never exceed load limits.
  • Do not use non original spare parts.
    • Do not use damaged or worm materials.

The MUSE system complies with the EN 60065 safety standard for audio, video and similar equipment.

⚠ WARNING | FBT accepts no responsibility for any damage to people or objects if these instructions are not complied with or if the safety factor of all elements related to system suspension are not properly checked.
⚠ WARNING | FBT will also place at your disposal a software which helps calculating the safety factor of the weakest point of unit suspension system according to the used configuration.

Follow this steps for a correct installation:

  • Use the EASE FOCUS software to simulate the configuration suitable for the environment where the sound is to be reproduced considering SPL intensity and distribution in the audience.
  • With the mechanical configuration parameters obtained, calculate the safety factor of unit suspension system.
  • Check that the safety factor calculated falls within the range allowed by the standards and safety regulations in force in the country of installation.
  • Should the safety factor to be lower or incompatible with the one required by current regulations, the installation is not allowed. Therefore, system size or inclination angles have to be changed, and sound simulation and safety checks are to be carried out again.

EASE FOCUS it is a software that permits an accurate simulation of the mechanical and acoustic behaviour of the line array system. The simulation algorithm is based on measurement taken on single modules; it is possible to set the number of areas for sound reproduction, the number of speakers, angles and levels relating to speakers and simulation parameters. It is also possible to check the attachment position of the flybar and the anchoring points of the system in relation to the maximum loads allowed. The software is an instrument that allows to immediately choose the best system configuration and proves suitable for both the experienced installer and the less experiendec user thanks to its automatic calculation feature. The software is available for download at AFMG website: focus.afmg.eu. EASE FOCUS acoustic model for the MUSE system is available on FBT website: www.fbt.it.

All flying accessories have been designed to guarantee maximum safety factor of 4:1 even for installations with 16 (maximum number) MUSE 210LA speakers (fig.3)

Should local regulations require a safety factor >4:1, system dimensions must be checked, or inclination angles changed, and acoustic simulations and safety checks must be repeated. MUSE systems may both flown and laid on the ground. System mounting type depends on the acoustic environment that needs being created and on the imposedassembly constraints. In the majority of common applications it is better to hang the system since this guarantees a more homogeneous coverage of the listening area. Every time the area for sound reproduction is located at a single level below an available attachmentpoint and extends over a certain lenght, system suspension is the best solution because it permits to better distribute the sound pressure over the whole area where sound is reproduced

NOTE | During installation, make sure that system bearing framework is included in the calculation of the total weight, as well as the MS-F 210 flybar, hoist chain, motors, cables and any additional weight.

WARNING | Should the above safety regulations and calculations of the overall weight fail to be complied with, FBT Elettronica will not liable for any damages to persons and things.

Hooking device for lifting operations

The hookking device for system lifting is asymmetrical and two different positions are possible (A and B). These two positions allow to move the device and, consequently, it change system angle at intermediate steps, by using the same fixing holes. Put the hooking device in the position suggested by the pointing software EASE FOCUS.
