DAS Audio has introduced several new products at the recent National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) show.
At NAMM, DAS Audio unveiled the latest additions to their Ara Series. The new Ara-P12.74 is a compact self-powered point source system featuring a 12-inch LF driver and a 3-inch VCD HF compression driver, 96kHz FIR filters, and powered by 1200 Watts of Class D amplification. Ara -P28.74 is a point source system which features dual 8-inch drivers, a 3-inch VCD compression driver, with 96kHz FIR processing and 1200 Watts of power. Both products also come with new accessories to mount them in virtually any scenario and features a rotatable horn for optimal coverage.
“This combination of the custom transducer and new compression driver ensures that the Ara -P12.74 delivers an audio experience that is both powerfully resonant and richly detailed, setting a new benchmark in point source system sound clarity and quality,” the announcement states.
Rounding out the new products in the Ara Series is the Ara -M210, which is a dual 10-inch stage monitor, also featuring 1200 Watts and 96kHz FIR processing, with a 50 degree horizontal spread and an asymmetrical vertical dispersion of 40 degrees downward and 30 degrees upward, optimizing the monitor for a wide variety of stage set up. All of these products work with Alma, the control and monitoring software from DAS Audio.
Also making their debut at the NAMM show was the next generation of DAS Audio’s Event Series line arrays. The Event -28A is an ultra-compact, lightweight line array system sporting two 8-inch neodymium LF transducers and a single M-60 compression driver, powered by high-efficiency Class D amplification with SMPS. A host of high-end features include dual voltage mains for global compatibility, high-end 24-bit DSP and FIR processing, all housed in a road-worthy polypropylene cabinet. The symmetric "V" shaped configuration of the cone transducers delivers consistent 100 degrees of horizontal coverage while the M-60 driver remains coupled to an advanced waveguide design, which controls the vertical dispersion and ensures precise coupling between units in vertical arrays. “Weighing in at 44 lbs, the Event -28A strikes an excellent balance between size, performance, and portability, making it an ideal solution for a wide array of sound reinforcement applications,” the announcement continues.
The Event -118A is a companion subwoofer with a single 18-inch front-loaded woofer and Class D amplification. Both Event boxes feature compatible rigging hardware and system configuration via DAScontrol.
Michael Palmer, Vice President of Sales - Pro Audio for DAS Audio North America remarks, “As we say about our Ara series, ‘Epic Sound Starts Here.’ These new additions to the Ara family continue that tradition. And the evolution of our Event Series is equally exciting, bringing a new dimension to one of our most popular lineups."
