The Event series line arrays include two models, the Event 208A and the Event 210A. Both are three-way powered line arrays in double 8" and double 10" configurations respectively. The D.A.S. loudspeaker units have been teamed up with a single M-75 compression driver and purpose-designed injected aluminium high frequency waveguide. Both Event line arrays are powered by a three channel Class D amplifier which provides 360 Wpeak per channel. The amp's rear panel includes quality Neutrik® XLR and powerCON connectors, status LEDS to facilitate setup and D.A.S.'s Easy-DSPTM interface which simplifies preset selection for the number of units and throw depth.
The Event series includes a twin 18" companion subwoofer which makes use of D.A.S. LX series long-excursion loudspeakers for solid bass response. Designed for optimum coupling with the Event 208A and Event 210A tops, the front-loaded system is powered by an efficient 3600Wpeak Class D amplifier and achieves a rated maximum peak SPL of 140 dB. The amplifier has a Cardioid Preset mode switch which offers specific signal treatment for easy set-up of pairs of systems in cardioid subwoofer applications. The system includes two balanced inputs (A-B) with stereo filtered output connections for satellite systems. The variable crossover ranges from 100 Hz-160 Hz and can be defeated to offer stereo "loop thru" connections. A gain control and polarity reverse feature increase user control over the system.
All units boast professional grade Baltic Birch plywood construction and are finished using the tough D.A.S. ISO-flex paint for durability. Steel rigging hardware is included on the line arrays systems and allows for safe and precise flying. A convenient pin storage receptacle keep pins from getting lost. Amplifiers are protected from the elements by means of an effective protective cover. A range of useful accessories augment the possibilities of the systems allowing them to be used on stand mounts or safely stacked on subwoofers. Transport dollies and protective covers are available for all models.
