FBT at the 2025 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix The 2025 Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, where the track at the Miami International Autodrome hosted a sold-out crowd on May 4. Miami-based Florida Sound and Lighting relied on CLA 208/604 systems from the Italian manufacturer FBT. Florida Sound and Lighting deployed four FBT systems, each consisting of a Vertus CLA 208SA subwoofer base with a Vertus CLA 604A line array stacked on top. The CLA 604A was stacked on a VT-SC 114 604 dummy speaker cabinet, which was front-mounted to the CLA 208SA. This served to elevate the line array, maximizing audio dispersion while preserving the classy Italian aesthetic of the system, the company says. To further optimize sound diffusion, the systems were strategically placed -- two on the mid-level of the Richard Mille paddock and two on the upper level. "I've used this CLA configuration for many years," says Sean Paul, owner of Florida Sound and Lighting. "The sound throw and dispersion are incredible in every environment, and the aesthetic is truly high-end. We've always supported and trusted these speakers. Everyone who hears them always says the same thing: the sound and look are simply impeccable." The FBT CLA 208/604 system, distributed exclusively in the US by Ideal Sound Importers (ISI), is engineered to deliver high-output performance with controlled dispersion and elegant design. ISI says, the series is known for wide, even sound dispersion for large-scale venues; a compact, modular design suitable for mobile or installed applications, and premium visual design that complements high-end events. "When the world is watching, there's no room for compromise," says John Krupa, president at Ideal Sound Importers. "We're proud to support Florida Sound and Lighting with a system that not only sounds world-class, it looks the part too."
