FBT makes noise in Manila
Dealers, systems integrators and rental companies gathered in Manila for a demonstration of FBT’s professional audio portfolio, hosted by Philippine distributor JB Music.
Held at the distributor’s flagship store, the FBT Open Day brought together representatives from across the local professional audio sector to explore solutions for live sound and fixed installations. The JB team, led by Michael Joseph De Vera, head of the professional audio division, prepared a comprehensive demonstration setup, giving attendees the opportunity to experience the systems first-hand. Demonstrations covered the MUSE, HORIZON, MITUS and VENTIS systems, alongside selected products from FBT’s INSTALL and CONTRACTOR ranges.
FBT export manager Roberto Mataloni travelled to the Philippines at the invitation of JB Music president Jerico Fernando. His presentation outlined the Italian manufacturer’s background, manufacturing operations and product development approach, providing context for the equipment showcased during the event. JB Music prepared the demonstration systems to allow visitors to hear the different product ranges in operation and discuss their applications with the teams present.
“I am very pleased with the relationship we have with JB Music, both professionally and personally,” said Mataloni. “We share a strong commitment to developing the FBT brand in the Philippines, with mutual care and attention to its long-term success. The JB team did an excellent job of setting up and demonstrating the systems, and it was a pleasure to meet such an attentive and engaged audience.”
Fernando added: “Roberto’s presence at our FBT Open Day was extremely valuable in supporting our work with the brand in the Philippines. FBT enjoys a strong reputation in our country, reflected in the excellent turnout of dealers, systems integrators, installers and rental companies. Our goal is to expand FBT’s market presence and give more professionals the opportunity to experience the acoustic performance and product quality that define the brand. We would like to thank Roberto and the entire FBT team for their support and for joining us in Manila.”
The event forms part of JB Music’s efforts to develop FBT’s presence in the Philippines, giving local dealers and professional audio businesses an opportunity to assess the manufacturer’s systems and engage directly with its representatives.
