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

The DAS Audio Road 15ART-NET is a high-performance, powered 2-way stage monitor designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional sound reinforcement applications. This monitor features a robust 15-inch 15R4 cone loudspeaker that excels in delivering deep, powerful bass reproduction, ensuring a rich audio experience for both performers and audiences alike. High frequencies are expertly handled by the M-75 compression driver, which utilizes a 1.5-inch exit, a 3-inch titanium diaphragm, and an EFW voice coil. This combination guarantees a full range of sound, making the Road 15ART-NET ideal for various live performances, from concerts to theater productions.

The biamplified system incorporates a sophisticated 3G Class "D" amplifier that delivers 550 W to the low-frequency section and 220 W to the high-frequency section. This powerful configuration allows the monitor to achieve impressive sound pressure levels while maintaining audio clarity, providing an exceptional listening experience. The compact dimensions and sleek design of the Road 15ART-NET make it an attractive addition to any stage setup. It features a standard pole mount socket, enhancing its versatility for use as a pole-mountable multi-purpose system, allowing for flexible deployment in a variety of settings.

A standout feature of the Road 15ART-NET is its integration with DASnet, an advanced audio management application. This innovative system allows for remote monitoring and control, providing users with an intuitive and instant overview of system status. With DASnet, users can easily adjust and control a wide range of parameters for a single cabinet or manage an entire network of monitors. This functionality streamlines the setup process and enhances operational efficiency, making it easier for sound engineers to fine-tune their audio environments in real-time.

In terms of performance, the Road 15ART-NET offers an impressive frequency range of 47 Hz to 23 kHz, making it capable of reproducing a wide spectrum of audio content. It provides a horizontal coverage of 40° and vertical coverage of 60°, allowing for effective sound dispersion across various audience configurations. With a maximum peak sound pressure level (SPL) of 134 dB at 1 meter, this monitor is capable of delivering powerful audio output that fills even large venues with clarity and presence.

The monitor is designed with practical connectivity options in mind. It features a balanced input type with an input impedance of 20 kohms and an input sensitivity of 1.55 V (+6 dBu), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio sources. The Road 15ART-NET includes an audio signal loop-through connector (1 x Male XLR) for daisy-chaining multiple units, as well as etherCON connectors for both audio and data input, enhancing its versatility in complex audio setups. The control is facilitated through DASnet, allowing for straightforward management of the system. Additionally, it includes an AC output connector (powerCON TRUE1) for reliable power delivery, operating efficiently with a current draw of 3.4 A at 230 V / 115 V, making it suitable for extended use during performances.

Constructed from high-quality birch plywood, the enclosure features a trapezoidal geometry that not only enhances the aesthetics but also minimizes unwanted resonances, contributing to superior sound quality. The monitor's finish is a durable ISO-flex paint in a sleek black color, designed to withstand the demands of live sound environments while maintaining an appealing look. With dimensions of 14.8 x 29.3 x 21.1 inches and a net weight of 67.3 lbs, the Road 15ART-NET is manageable for transport and setup, ensuring ease of use for sound professionals.
