DAS Audio Road 15ART - 1540W 15-inch Powered 2-Way Right Facing Stage Monitor with 40 x 60-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The DAS Audio Road 15ART is a high-performance powered stage monitor designed to deliver exceptional audio fidelity for professional applications. It features a powerful 15-inch 15R4 cone loudspeaker specifically engineered for robust bass reproduction, ensuring that the lower frequencies resonate deeply and clearly during performances. High frequencies are expertly managed by the M-75 compression driver, which boasts a 1.5-inch exit, a 3-inch titanium diaphragm, and an EFW voice coil. This combination of components allows the Road 15ART to produce a full spectrum of sound, making it ideal for various musical genres and stage settings.

The Road 15ART operates as a biamplified system, utilizing a cutting-edge 3G Class "D" amplifier. This configuration provides 550 W to the low-frequency section and 220 W to the high-frequency section, allowing for impressive sound pressure levels and dynamic audio playback. The monitor's compact design and attractive finish make it visually appealing, while its standard pole mount socket increases its versatility as a pole-mountable multi-purpose system.

The Road 15ART is designed with both functionality and aesthetics in mind. Its low-profile design minimizes visual impact, ensuring that the focus remains on the performance rather than the equipment. The hidden connector panel and integrated LED indicators keep the connectivity streamlined and professional, while the two side-located handles facilitate easy transportation and setup. The heavy-duty ISO-flex paint finish adds an extra layer of durability, ensuring that the monitor withstands the rigors of live sound environments while maintaining a polished appearance.

In terms of performance specifications, the Road 15ART boasts an impressive frequency range of 47 Hz to 23 kHz, covering a wide spectrum of audio. It offers horizontal coverage of 40° and vertical coverage of 60°, allowing for adaptable sound projection that effectively reaches the audience in various settings. With a maximum peak sound pressure level (SPL) of 134 dB at 1 meter, the monitor is capable of delivering powerful audio output suitable for both intimate venues and larger auditoriums.

The electronics and connectors of the Road 15ART further enhance its versatility and usability. It features a balanced input type with an input impedance of 20 kohms and an input sensitivity of 1.55 V (+6 dBu), making it compatible with a wide range of audio sources. The monitor includes an audio signal loop-through connector (1 x Male XLR) for easy daisy-chaining of multiple units, as well as an AC output connector (powerCON NAC3FCB) for reliable power delivery. The current draw is efficient at 3.4 A at 230 V / 115 V, making it suitable for prolonged use during live performances.

Constructed from high-quality birch plywood, the enclosure features a trapezoidal geometry that not only looks great but also minimizes unwanted resonances, enhancing sound clarity. With dimensions of 14.8 x 29.3 x 21.1 inches and a net weight of 67.3 lbs, the Road 15ART is manageable for transport while maintaining a sturdy and robust build that can endure the challenges of professional use.
