The FBT Canto 5CA is a versatile and compact active speaker designed to meet the needs of both fixed installations and portable applications.

Its sleek, gas-injected polypropylene enclosure is available in black or white, allowing it to seamlessly blend into any decor, making it ideal for a variety of settings such as small venues, restaurants, bars, conference rooms, and more. Additionally, its asymmetrical design allows the Canto 5CA to double as a powered floor stage monitor, enhancing its adaptability.

This 5" two-way active speaker features a high-performance coaxial configuration, combining a 5" low-frequency woofer with a 1.5" voice coil and a 1" high-frequency driver with a 1" voice coil, delivering an even 90° dispersion. With a frequency range of 70Hz to 20kHz and a maximum SPL of 117dB, the Canto 5CA provides high-fidelity sound suitable for both speech and music applications.

FBT Canto 5CA Key Features:

  • Lightweight Gas-Injected Polypropylene Enclosure: Available in black or white, designed to integrate seamlessly into various decor styles.
  • Bi-Amped Design: 100W RMS for the low-frequency woofer and 50W RMS for the high-frequency driver, ensuring robust audio performance.
  • Built-In DSP Presets: Offers four modes—Original, Monitor, Vocal, and Boost—to optimize sound for different uses:
    • Original: General-purpose preset suitable for most applications.
    • Monitor: Ensures maximum linearity for close listening.
    • Vocal: Enhances speech intelligibility for announcements and presentations.
    • Boost: Emphasizes low frequencies for a richer sound.
  • Switchable High Pass Filter: Activates a "low cut" filter, ideal for use in conjunction with a subwoofer.
  • Link Out Function: Allows connection of multiple speakers to the same signal for expanded sound coverage.
  • Mounting Flexibility: Includes a standard 1" speaker stand socket and options for adjustable wall support (WM45).

Applications and Advantages:

The FBT Canto 5CA is designed for environments where space is limited but high-quality audio is essential. As an active speaker, it integrates its own amplification and processing, reducing the need for external equipment. This makes it ideal for applications where a compact, plug-and-play solution is needed.

Typical Uses:

  • Restaurants and Bars: Provides clear, high-quality sound for background music or announcements without taking up too much space.
  • Conference Rooms and Offices: Delivers intelligible audio for presentations and meetings.
  • Small Venues: Suitable for live sound applications where space is a premium but performance cannot be compromised.
  • Retail Stores: Enhances customer experience with high-fidelity audio in a compact form factor.

The FBT Canto 5CA offers a comprehensive audio solution that combines flexibility, performance, and ease of use, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of professional and commercial environments.

    EU Import Tax

    Any goods shipped outside of the UK, over a certain value, will incur an import tax. The cost and rate will depend on the country and the order value.

    Failure to pay import tax when applicable will result in the order being shipped back to Audio Volt. Any returned goods sent back to us due to non-payment of import tax are NOT ELIGIBLE for a refund on the shipping charge.

    Delivery Notes

    On delivery, you must inspect the goods carefully for damage as Audio Volt is unable to accept responsibility for damage in transit, shortage of delivery or loss of products unless the customer advises Audio Volt of such within three working days from the date of delivery.

    60 Day Returns Policy

    We ask that you follow these guidelines to help us process your return as quickly and efficiently as possible:

    1. Please keep your order reference to hand. This confirms your original order and gives us the necessary details to authorise the product's return.
    2. Contact our Customer Services Team on 02476 369890 (or email info@audiovolt.co.uk). We will then send you an RMA number and a returns form, which needs to be completed and sent back with the returned item(s).
    3. If the order has been unpacked, re-package it to ensure that it is being returned in its original condition. Please make sure all items relating to the product are returned, including manuals and cables.
    4. When returning an item, please obtain a proof of postage receipt from the courier.

    Returned items must be mailed within 10 days of when the RMA number has been issued. Items received with a post date 30 days after your requested return will NOT be eligible for refund.

    Please note: our returns policy is quite straightforward, but there are a number of conditions that we ask our customers to comply with before applying:

    1. It is your responsibility to request a return. If you don't tell us you want to make a return, we don't know. Once you do tell us, we will do everything we can to action it.
    2. If you have not requested a return within 60 days of receiving an order, we will assume that you are intending to keep it, and we will not authorise a return.
    3. We always refund the payment according to how the original purchase was made and aim to do so within 72 hours of the return being received by us.
    4. Returned goods are liable for a restocking fee of 15% towards handling and repackaging if the order is not returned in its original, unopened packaging. This charge will be subject to our inspection of the returned goods.
    5. Delivery charges will not be refunded unless the delivered goods are faulty.
    6. Replacement products are dispatched immediately after the returned goods have been received and accepted by Audio Volt.
    7. Items that develop a fault within 30 days of delivery are eligible for a replacement or a refund. Delivery costs are also reimbursed for faulty items. Please contact our Customer Services Team on 02476 369890 if you believe your item has developed a fault.

    Finally, please remember that notifying us of your intention to apply for a return, saving the delivery paperwork and keeping the order in its original packaging will help both you and Audio Volt to process the return quickly.
