DAS Audio Road 12ART - 1540W 12-inch Powered 2-Way Right Facing Stage Monitor with 40 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DAS Audio Road 12ART is a high-performance, powered 2-way stage monitor designed for professional audio applications, delivering exceptional sound quality and clarity. Featuring a robust 12-inch cone loudspeaker, the ROAD-12ART excels in bass reproduction, ensuring that every note resonates with depth and precision. The high frequencies are handled by an M-75 compression driver, which incorporates a 1.5-inch exit, a 3-inch titanium diaphragm, and an EFW voice coil, offering a seamless blend of powerful low-end and crystal-clear highs. This biamplified system utilizes a sophisticated 3G Class "D" amplifier, delivering 550 W to the low-frequency section and 220 W to the highs, allowing it to achieve impressive sound pressure levels.

The design of the ROAD-12ART is both compact and aesthetically pleasing, making it an excellent choice for various stage setups. Its low-profile design minimizes visual impact, ensuring that it integrates well into any performance environment. Additionally, it features a standard pole mount socket, enabling easy use as a pole-mountable multi-purpose system. The monitor is equipped with a hidden connector panel and LED indicators for streamlined connectivity, and its two side-located handles enhance portability, making transport to and from events convenient. The heavy-duty ISO-flex paint finish provides durability, ensuring the monitor withstands the rigors of live performance while maintaining a sleek appearance.

Performance-wise, the ROAD-12ART offers an impressive frequency range of 55 Hz to 23 kHz, providing an expansive audio spectrum for diverse sound requirements. It boasts horizontal coverage of 40° and vertical coverage of 60°, making it adaptable for various stage configurations and audience sizes. With a maximum peak SPL of 134 dB at 1 meter, this stage monitor is capable of delivering powerful audio output that can easily fill large venues.

Regarding the electronics and connectors, the ROAD-12ART features a balanced input type with an input impedance of 20 kohms and an input sensitivity of 1.55 V (+6 dBu). It includes an audio signal loop-through connector (1 x Male XLR) and an AC output connector (powerCON NAC3FCB). The current draw is efficient at 230 V / 115 V, with a maximum draw of 3.4 A. The enclosure is constructed from birch plywood and features a trapezoidal geometry, which aids in sound projection and reduces unwanted resonances.

The specifications further emphasize the quality and versatility of the ROAD-12ART, making it an ideal choice for sound engineers and performers alike. Its net weight is 57.3 lbs, and its dimensions are 12.8 x 25.4 x 18.5 inches, allowing for easy transportation and setup.
