This user-friendly interface features selectable high-pass filter presets, facilitating alignment with the VANTEC-18A and VANTEC-118A active bass systems without the need for external processing. Throw compensation settings and array size selection can be adjusted simply through the DAScontrol interface, enhancing operational efficiency. Furthermore, when used independently, the Vantec 20A supports high-definition wireless streaming of music via the DASlink app, allowing for remote control of the system's functions.

The enclosure is meticulously crafted from Baltic birch plywood and finished with a durable DAS ISO-flex coating that provides a professional appearance while ensuring long-lasting performance. With a trapezoidal design, the Vantec 20A is both aesthetically pleasing and functional, allowing for optimal sound projection. The dimensions of 13.2 x 24.6 x 17.3 inches and a net weight of 62.8 lbs make the Vantec 20A lightweight and manageable for transport and setup, making it an excellent choice for audio professionals on the go.
