The CANTO series of installation loudspeakers is now available in the UK through the Italian manufacturer’s British distribution partner, FBT Audio (UK). The product was initially launched at the 2024 edition of ISE before shipping towards the end of the year and is now available in the UK for the first time.
The CANTO family has been designed, engineered and manufactured in Italy to be a versatile range of installation loudspeakers that are capable of delivering high-quality sound across a variety of environments. Engineered with FBT’s commitment to exceptional clarity, these speakers are ideal for venues requiring reliable and immersive sound reinforcement.
The six member family offers a solution to every integrator’s need. The CANTO 3CT is the smallest member of the series featuring a 3” woofer and a 0.6” tweeter. The 2-way coaxial passive speaker with 100V/7.5W and 15W line transformer has been designed to meet minimalistic architectural needs.
Moving up in woofer size, the CANTO 5C, 5CA and 5CT all feature a 5” woofer and a 1” tweeter in their 2-way coaxial design. The 5C is the standard passive member of the family that offers an impressive 120W rms, while the 5CT offers a switchable 70V/100V transformer with power selection from 7.5W to 60W and low impedance selection. Finally, the 5CA is the active member of the family, offering 100W rms and 50W rms class-D amplification for the woofer and tweeter respectively and four selectable DSP presets for optimised performance.
The largest members of the CANTO series are the 8C and 8CA. Both 2-way coaxial speakers feature an 8” woofer and 1” tweeter to provide high-fidelity sound for both speech and music applications with a maximum SPL of 125dB. The 8CA version is active with a built-in class-D amplifier offering 200W rms for the woofer and 100W rms for the tweeter respectively and four selectable DSP presets for optimised performance.
“Ever since the official launch of CANTO we have had integrators asking us when they would be able to start using them in their projects, I am delighted that we can now meet those requests,” said FBT Audio (UK) Managing Director, Mark Parkhouse. “These speakers have been engineered with the exceptional clarity that everyone expects from FBT and will prove to be incredibly popular. We see CANTO as the ideal solution for any installation requiring reliable and immersive sound reinforcement.”
All members of the CANTO series in both black and white are in stock at FBT Audio (UK) now.
