FBT CS-1000-BLK Portable Active Sub/Satellite Speaker System, 1000 Watts, Built-In DSP

The VERTUS CS1000 is a compact, powerful line array system that presents a sleek, modular design placing high-quality audio in environments from clubs to elegant aesthetic decors with ease. The bi-amplified system features a long-excursion 12-inch bass reflex subwoofer and a passive satellite unit with six 3-inch neodymium drivers, creating a well-balanced and articulate sound profile. The Class-D amplifier built into the subwoofer pushes 600W RMS to the low end and 400W RMS to the satellite, ensuring punchy bass, clear highs, and an impressive 129 dB Sound Pressure Level (SPL). Whether setting up for a gig or integrating into an existing installation, the CS1000’s blend of power, precision, and flexibility makes it an excellent choice for performers, DJs, corporate events, or any place where prominent audio and understated visuals go hand in hand.

Making it easy to get in / get out and get to the next show, the entire system packs neatly into the subwoofer enclosure for easy transport, including the satellite, mounting pole, and all necessary cables. The innovative locking system secures everything in place, making setup and teardown quick and hassle-free. The J-array configuration offers a 110° horizontal and 30° vertical dispersion, ensuring consistent coverage across a wide area. The fanless amplifier is housed in die-cast aluminum for long-term reliability, while onboard DSP provides eight custom presets tailored for different environments. With ergonomic aluminum handles and a rugged birch plywood construction, the VERTUS CS1000 is ready to handle whatever comes its way.
