Frequently Asked Questions
The FBT offers competitive performance for the price, with a slightly more refined DSP and birch enclosure than some alternatives, but might lack the absolute 'oomph' of the very highest-end models.
136 dB is a peak measurement; sustained levels will be lower depending on the system setup and room acoustics, but it indicates a very loud capability.
While it *could* be used, the X-Sub 118SA is primarily designed for live sound; its frequency response and DSP presets aren't optimized for critical studio listening.
