DAS Audio Vantec 215 - 4000W 2 x 15-inch Passive 2-Way Portable Loudspeaker with 90 x 50-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DAS Audio Vantec 215 is a powerful and versatile passive loudspeaker designed for professional audio applications that demand high performance and portability. This 2-way full-range loudspeaker features dual 15-inch FV series bass loudspeakers that deliver exceptional low-frequency punch and higher sound pressure levels (SPL), ensuring that the Vantec 215 can handle even the most demanding audio environments. The high frequencies are expertly managed by a 1-inch FEM optimized compression driver, allowing for crystal-clear reproduction of vocals and high-end instrument sounds.

The trapezoidal cabinet of the Vantec 215 is constructed from high-quality birch plywood, known for its durability and acoustic properties. The cabinet is finished with DAS's hard-wearing ISO-flex black paint, providing a professional appearance while protecting the enclosure from wear and tear. This robust construction ensures that the loudspeaker is well-suited for both portable use and permanent installations. The cabinet's design not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also contributes to optimal sound projection and resonance control.

Performance-wise, the Vantec 215 excels with a frequency range of 55 Hz to 20 kHz, providing a wide audio spectrum that is ideal for a variety of music genres and applications. The horizontal coverage of 90° and vertical coverage of 50° enable effective sound dispersion, allowing the speaker to fill larger venues with consistent audio quality. With a nominal impedance of 4 ohms, the Vantec 215 has an RMS power handling capacity of 1000 W and can handle peak power levels of up to 4000 W, making it capable of producing high output levels without distortion.

The on-axis sensitivity of 102 dB SPL at 1W/1m indicates the speaker's efficiency in sound reproduction, while the maximum peak sound pressure level (SPL) of 138 dB at 1 meter ensures it can perform well even in loud environments. For optimal performance, the Vantec 215 is recommended to be paired with amplifiers such as the PA-2700, ensuring that it delivers the power and clarity needed for professional applications.

Connectivity is straightforward, featuring a speakON NL4 audio input and output connector for secure and reliable wiring during installation. The Vantec 215 is equipped with two steel-reinforced handles that include soft rubber inserts, facilitating easy transport and setup. Additionally, the speaker includes a rugged steel grille, which is sealed against corrosion using a polyamide powder coat finish, ensuring durability and protection for the internal components.

The enclosure is designed with M10 rigging points, allowing for safe and straightforward installation in various configurations, including flown setups. With dimensions of 42.9 x 17.5 x 19.9 inches and a net weight of 62.5 lbs, the Vantec 215 is manageable for transport while still providing the robust sound output needed for professional audio applications. Its combination of powerful performance, durable construction, and versatile installation options makes it an ideal choice for audio professionals looking for a reliable loudspeaker solution.
