DAS Audio Action M512A - 1000W 12-inch Powered 2-Way Stage Monitor with 80 x 50-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DAS Audio Action M512A is a high-performance powered stage monitor expertly designed to meet the demands of both fixed installations and portable applications. This versatile active monitor features a rotatable horn with a dispersion pattern of 80° x 50°, allowing it to function effectively not only as a stage monitor but also as a reliable PA system. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for musicians, performers, and sound engineers seeking quality audio in a variety of settings.

At the core of the Action M512A is a powerful 1000W peak Class D amplifier, paired with a 12MI4 low-frequency driver and an M-34 compression driver for high frequencies. This combination ensures that the monitor produces an exceptional sound experience with a frequency range spanning from 60 Hz to 20 kHz. The system's maximum peak sound pressure level (SPL) reaches an impressive 130 dB at 1 meter, making it capable of delivering clear and impactful sound even in the loudest environments.

The enclosure of the Action M512A is constructed from high-quality birch plywood, known for its durability and excellent acoustic properties. This choice of material results in a tight, natural sound signature that is a hallmark of the DAS Audio brand, ensuring a superior listening experience. The durable ISO-flex paint finish not only enhances the visual appeal of the monitor but also provides a rugged exterior capable of withstanding the rigors of touring and live performances. Its trapezoidal geometry allows for efficient positioning on stage and easy integration into various setups.

For user-friendly operation, the Action M512A features the DAScontrol interface, equipped with a high-range 24-bit digital signal processing (DSP) system and a rear LCD screen. This intuitive interface allows for easy selection of presets, EQ modes, delay, gain control, and signal source mixing, ensuring that users can tailor the audio output to suit specific performance needs. The monitor is also equipped with two balanced XLR inputs for microphone and line-level sources, an additional 3.5 mm mini jack input for auxiliary devices, and dual male XLR loop-through connectors for easy integration with additional audio equipment.
