DAS Audio Event 212A - 3000W 2 x 12-inch Powered 3-Way Line Array Loudspeaker with 90-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DAS Audio Event 212A is a formidable 3000W, powered three-way line array loudspeaker designed to deliver outstanding audio performance in various professional settings. Featuring a dual 12-inch configuration, this advanced loudspeaker utilizes two 12-inch DAS drivers operating in a dual band setup, which allows for exceptional low-frequency response and power. Each driver is powered by a dedicated amplifier channel that provides up to 1000 W peak output, ensuring robust performance in live sound applications.

Complementing the 12-inch drivers is a high-performance M-75 compression driver coupled with a purpose-designed injected aluminum high-frequency waveguide. This combination delivers precise and controlled sound across both the 90-degree and 120-degree coverage formats, making the Event 212A suitable for a wide range of applications from concerts to corporate events. The loudspeaker is engineered to excel in sound reinforcement, offering clarity and high sensitivity across the frequency range.

The Event 212A's powerful three-channel Class D amplifier delivers a total peak power of 3000W, with each channel providing 1000W peak. The rear panel of the amplifier includes quality Neutrik XLR and powerCON connectors, ensuring reliable and robust connections for audio input and power. Status LEDs facilitate setup and operation, while the DAScontrol interface simplifies the process of configuring the system in arrays, allowing for easy alignment with companion subwoofer systems like the EVENT-218A and EVENT-121A. Users can easily select presets for the number of units in the array, high-frequency compensation for throw distances, and corrections for the splay angle using the intuitive DAScontrol and the LCD screen located on the back of the cabinet.

The onboard digital signal processing (DSP) features advanced FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filters that provide a linear phase response and precise impulse response, resulting in superior audio clarity. This technology enhances transient response, delivering defined attack in percussion and an overall natural sound that is essential for professional audio applications.

Constructed from high-grade birch plywood, the cabinet of the Event 212A is both lightweight and durable, with a trapezoidal design that allows for optimal sound projection and efficient stacking. The robust quick-rig professional rigging hardware enables quick deployment and secure rigging, making it easy to set up in various configurations. The durable ISO-flex finish ensures the loudspeaker withstands the rigors of touring and is built for longevity.

Weighing 90.4 lbs (41 kg) and measuring 12.8 x 33.7 x 17.1 inches, the Event 212A offers an excellent balance of performance and portability. The carton dimensions of 18.5 x 10.8 x 18.9 inches and a shipping weight of 95.9 lbs facilitate efficient shipping and handling, ensuring that this powerful loudspeaker is ready for deployment whenever needed.
