FBT Vertus CS‑1000 Description

The Vertus CS‑1000 delivers high‑fidelity, line‑array clarity in a compact, stage‑ready form. Its two‑way setup combines a powerful 12″ bass‑reflex sub with a six‑driver J‑array satellite, creating focused dispersion while rejecting reverberant reflections—perfect for acoustically challenging venues. The fanless Class‑D amp and DSP offer performance with low noise and quick sound shaping.

Deployment is fast and intuitive: the satellite nests within the subwoofer’s birch‑ply cabinet, secured by a push‑button lock, and a telescopic pole supports vertical aiming. All components stow neatly inside the sub, making transport easy. With ergonomic handles and rugged build quality, the CS‑1000 is ideal for mobile acts and install teams alike.

When paired, systems lock together to boost output and coverage, or chain up to four units for high‑power setups. With its refined industrial design and acoustic elegance, the CS‑1000 seamlessly blends into corporate stages, houses of worship, mobile DJs, and theaters.
