The FBT Canto 8C is a high-performance, 2-way passive loudspeaker designed for both speech and music applications, offering outstanding sound quality in a compact form factor. Perfect for a wide range of fixed installations, the Canto 8C features a lightweight gas-injected polypropylene enclosure and is available in both black and white finishes, making it an ideal solution for environments where aesthetics and acoustics are equally important. Its modern design ensures it blends seamlessly into any decor, while its robust performance capabilities deliver high-fidelity sound for any setting.

The Canto 8C incorporates an 8-inch coaxial low-frequency woofer with a 2-inch voice coil and a 1-inch high-frequency driver with a 1.4-inch voice coil. This combination ensures a broad frequency range of 60Hz to 20kHz, offering crystal-clear sound and impressive output. The speaker’s 80 horizontal and vertical dispersion ensures that sound is evenly distributed across the listening area, providing an optimal experience regardless of where the listener is positioned. With a maximum SPL of 125dB, the Canto 8C delivers powerful sound in both small and medium-sized venues, well beyond expectations for such a compact loudspeaker.

Designed for flexibility in installation, the Canto 8C comes equipped with two rear-mounted fixing points, enabling the use of a horizontally or vertically adjustable wall support (WM68). This allows for precise positioning of the speaker to suit the specific acoustic requirements of any space. The speaker can also be mounted on a speaker stand via a 1.4″ top-hat socket, adding further versatility for use in both permanent and portable installations.

To ensure the best performance and longevity, the Canto 8C utilizes a recommended amplifier power of 250W RMS, with long-term power handling of 125W and short-term power handling of 500W. It features Euroblock 4-pin connectors for easy input and loop-through connections, and is designed for use in a variety of commercial, residential, and professional applications where quality sound is a priority. The Canto 8C is equipped with a high-pass filter recommendation of 50Hz – 24dB/oct to enhance the overall audio experience, and is compatible with digital management for fine-tuning performance with presets.
