DAS Audio Vantec 12A - 1500W 12-inch Powered 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 50-Degree Coverage and Bluetooth in Black Finish

The DAS Audio Vantec 12A is a high-performance powered 2-way loudspeaker that offers a versatile solution for portable audio needs, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. This 12-inch loudspeaker features a compact multi-angle enclosure that allows it to function as both a stage monitor and a portable PA system, catering to musicians, DJs, and event organizers looking for reliable sound reinforcement in various settings.

At the heart of the Vantec 12A is its ultra-efficient Class D amplifier, delivering a peak power of 1500 W, which translates into extended bandwidth, wide dynamic range, and exceptionally low distortion. This combination ensures that users experience clear, powerful sound, whether they are using it for live music performances, public speaking engagements, or multimedia presentations. The digital signal processing is enhanced by the use of Digital Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters, providing superior audio fidelity that is often difficult to find in comparable systems.

The Vantec 12A features user-configurable voicing, filter, and EQ modes, all accessible via a user-friendly rotary-knob interface and an LCD screen located on the rear of the cabinet. This intuitive control setup allows users to easily adjust settings to suit their specific audio needs, whether it be for live performances, dance music, vocals, or bass-boosted applications. The integrated 3-band EQ further allows for precise tuning of the sound to accommodate various acoustical environments.

For connectivity, the Vantec 12A is equipped with multiple audio inputs, including two female XLR connectors for balanced input, a 3.5 mm mini jack for AUX input, and a male XLR audio signal loop-through connector, ensuring flexibility in connecting different audio sources. Additionally, it supports high-definition wireless streaming of music in stereo from any mobile device, adding convenience for users who want to play back music wirelessly without the need for cumbersome cabling.

The speaker features a 12F4 low-frequency driver that provides accurate low-frequency reproduction, while high frequencies are managed by the M-28 FEM optimized compression driver with a 1-inch exit, ensuring exceptional audio clarity and detail. The Vantec 12A also includes a top-located pole mount socket that permits dual-angle mounting (0°/10°), making it adaptable to various installation configurations. The inclusion of rigging points (M10) allows for secure installation options, suitable for permanent setups.

With a frequency range of 60 Hz to 20 kHz, the Vantec 12A ensures comprehensive audio coverage, providing a maximum peak sound pressure level (SPL) of 135 dB at 1 meter, making it suitable for both intimate venues and larger environments. Constructed from durable birch plywood, the trapezoidal enclosure is finished in a sleek black ISO-flex paint, providing both a professional look and enhanced protection against wear and tear.

With dimensions of 24.4 x 15.0 x 15.0 inches and a net weight of 47.4 lbs, the Vantec 12A is lightweight and portable, making it easy to transport and set up for any event. The Vantec 12A stands out as a highly capable and versatile loudspeaker, perfect for audio professionals seeking a reliable solution that combines power, performance, and convenience in a compact package.
