DAS Audio Event 26A - 800W 2 x 6.5-inch Powered 2-Way Line Array Loudspeaker with 100-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DAS Audio Event 26A is an advanced 800W, 2 x 6.5-inch powered two-way line array loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional audio performance while ensuring ease of use and portability. Engineered by DAS experts, this symmetrical and ultra-compact line array system features a robust polypropylene cabinet that is both lightweight and road-worthy, making it ideal for small to mid-size rental and installation applications. The stylish black finish further enhances its professional appearance, allowing it to seamlessly integrate into various settings.

The Event 26A houses two 6.5-inch transducers and a single M-60 compression driver, all meticulously configured within a rugged polymer cabinet. The symmetric "V" shaped arrangement of the cone transducers ensures consistent horizontal coverage of 100 degrees down to 200 Hz, providing an expansive sound field suitable for various audio environments. The M-60 compression driver is expertly coupled with an advanced waveguide design that controls vertical dispersion and ensures precise coupling between units when arranged in vertical arrays, resulting in an immersive listening experience.

Powering the Event 26A is a high-efficiency, two-channel Class D amplifier capable of delivering a peak power of 800W. The amplifier's rear panel features high-quality Neutrik XLR and powerCON connectors, ensuring reliable connections for audio input and power. The integrated DAScontrol interface allows for swift and simple preset selection for the number of units in the array, facilitating easy system configuration. An onboard 24-bit high-end digital signal processor (DSP) manages crossover, equalization, delay, and limiter functions, enabling fine-tuning of the audio output. The incorporation of FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filtering technology guarantees constant phase response, which translates into transparent sound and exceptional clarity, significantly enhancing the overall listening experience.

The innovative FSSTM (Fast Set Splay) rigging system streamlines the deployment of Event 26A arrays, allowing for angle selection while the units are stacked on dollies. The stainless-steel rigging hardware permits the safe flying of arrays of up to 16 units in 1-degree increments from 0 to 10 degrees, providing versatility and flexibility in setup. For low-frequency reinforcement, the Event 26A can be paired with its flyable companion subwoofer, the Event 115A, to create a full-range audio solution.

The Event 26A's design emphasizes both performance and practicality, with a frequency range of 76 Hz to 19 kHz and a maximum peak sound pressure level (SPL) of 131 dB at 1 meter, ensuring powerful sound output for diverse applications. Its compact trapezoidal enclosure measures 8.9 x 18.9 x 19.1 inches and weighs 36.4 lbs, making it easy to transport and set up without sacrificing audio quality. The carton dimensions of 22.2 x 22.2 x 11.4 inches and a shipping weight of 44.0 lbs make for efficient shipping and handling, ensuring that this high-quality loudspeaker is readily available for any audio project.
