DAS Audio Event 28A - 1300W 2 x 8-inch Powered 2-Way Line Array Loudspeaker with 100-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DAS Audio Event 28A is a high-performance, 1300W powered two-way line array loudspeaker designed for superior sound quality and versatile application in small to mid-size rental and installation environments. This compact, symmetrical line array system boasts a sleek and portable polypropylene cabinet that combines durability with an attractive aesthetic, making it ideal for a range of settings from concerts to corporate events.

At the heart of the Event 28A are two 8-inch neodymium transducers and a single M-60 compression driver, all housed within a robust yet lightweight polymer cabinet. The use of neodymium magnets significantly reduces the weight of the transducers, ensuring efficient sound projection and enhanced low-frequency response. The transducers are arranged in a symmetric "V" shape, delivering consistent 100-degree horizontal coverage down to 200 Hz. Coupled with an advanced waveguide design, the M-60 compression driver effectively controls vertical dispersion, ensuring precise coupling between units when used in vertical arrays for a cohesive sound experience.

The Event 28A is powered by a highly efficient two-channel Class D amplifier that provides an impressive 1300 W of peak power. The rear panel of the amplifier is equipped with high-quality Neutrik XLR and powerCON connectors for reliable audio and power connections. The user-friendly DAScontrol interface simplifies system configuration, allowing for quick preset selection based on the number of units in the array. An integrated onboard DSP utilizes a high-end 24-bit processor to manage crucial functions such as crossover, EQ, delay, and limiting. The incorporation of FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filtering technology ensures constant phase response, delivering transparent sound and exceptional clarity that enhances the overall listening experience.

Deployment of Event 28A arrays is made effortless with the innovative Fast Set Splay (FSS) rigging system, allowing for quick angle selection while stacked on dollies. The stainless-steel rigging hardware supports flown arrays of up to 16 units, adjustable in precise 1-degree increments from 0° to 10°, providing flexibility in setup for different venue configurations. For low-frequency reinforcement, the Event 28A can be paired with the flyable companion subwoofer, the Event 118A, creating a full-range audio solution for various applications.

Weighing in at 20 kg (44.1 lbs), the Event 28A strikes an excellent balance between performance and portability, making it easy to transport and install without compromising on sound quality. The compact trapezoidal enclosure measures 11.0 x 25.0 x 20.7 inches, allowing for streamlined storage and setup. The carton dimensions of 28.2 x 23.6 x 13.2 inches and a shipping weight of 53.0 lbs facilitate efficient shipping and handling, ensuring that this high-quality loudspeaker is ready for deployment whenever needed.
