INTRODUCTION variant 25A The new D.A.S. Variant series was designed for incorporate two Class AB fixed installations, portable A/V, amplifiers featuring electronically balanced signal applications requiring high SPL and control of the inputs and outputs. The AC input and output link vertical coverage.
DESCRIPTION VARIANT-25A G) LOOP THRU: Used for paralleling several units, which will share the same input. The output variant 25A is a two way class AB self can also be used to provide signal for an outboard powered system. Nominal amplifier power power amplifier.

VARIANT-18A frequency mono-amplified system. Nominal amplifier power (Continuous) 1250 W. Amplifier panel description: A) LIMIT: A mplifier limiter indicator lights. When lit, the level of the signal source should be reduced. B) SIGNAL: Signal presence indicator at the amplifiers' inputs. C) ON: Indicator light for each amplifier channel.

variant 112A can reproduce frequencies down to 63Hz , so in those applications where no high sound pressure level is required (speech, vocals, etc) and there is no need of extending the low frequency range the variant 18A system can be installed without subwoofers. If it is required extending the low end then the recommended.
In applications like live sound concerts, disco dance music, where high sound pressure level is required LX-218A double eighteen subwoofers should be used. DAS Audio recommends the . To align both systems an external DSP with two different signal lines will be needed.

RIGGING SYSTEM Absolutely no risks should be taken with regards to public safety. When flying enclosures Introduction from ceiling support structures, extreme care This section contains needed information for should be taken to assure the load bearing flying D.A.S. Audio line array systems, description capabilities of the structures so that the installation of the elements and safety precautions.

To facilitate the insertion of the connecting links in the corresponding slot of the top box, each angle has an associated pin hole which is labeled and located on each side of the box. Highly resistant 6mm quick release pins with a ball safety lock are used set the angles.

Most of the accessories needed to fly or stack the units are integral to the enclosures. The only additional items needed are the rigging bumpers. A) AX-V25 AX-V25 rigging grid (bumper) is made from steel beams and is designed to handle great loads.

C) AXW-V25 AXW-V25 is made from stainless steel and has been specially designed to wall mount up to 3 variant 25A units. Six special M8x35 DIN912 screws must be used to attach the accessory to the wall. The whole cluster can be tilted as in the Truss AXC-V25 accessory.

AXC-V25 can also be used to pole mount variant 18A up to one unit on top of one or on a AXC-ZT tripod by making use of special adaptor ( AXC-V112 M8x35 DIN912 screws AXC-V112 AXC-ZT ceiling mount accesory features several holes on the top plate which allow for hook clamps to be fixed to it, so up to 2 units can be flown from truss structures.
Safety factors The safety factor is defined as the coefficient between the breaking load limit and the maximum safe working load limit (SWLL). In this case, the breaking load limit of each of the flying points is 875 kg (1925 lb) as determined by destructive testing in independent laboratories.
APPENDIX: Line connections: unbalanced and balanced There are two basic ways to transport an audio signal with microphone or line level: Unbalanced line: Utilising a two conductor cable, it transports the signal as the voltage between them. Electromagnetic interference can get added to the signal as undesired noise. Connectors that carry unbalanced signals have two pins, such as RCA (Phono) and ¼”...
