INTRODUCTION The variant 25A incorporate two Class AB The new D.A.S. Variant series was designed for 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 G) LOOP THRU: Used for paralleling several variant 25A units, which will share the same input. The output The variant 25A is a two way class AB self can also be used to provide signal for an outboard powered system.

variant 112A i) ARRAY EQ: In order to compensate for The variant 112A is a two way active system. the summing of the mid and low frequencies, Nominal amplifier power driver the onboard signal processing of each variant impedance): LF : 500W HF: 100W. Amplifier panel 112A unit provides high frequency boost.
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.
LIMIT LEDs. That level range signal. that should not be exceeded during the event. Overheating The variant series amplifiers generate very little variant 25A residual heat and therefore do not need a fan for 138Hz cooling. In normal use, the amplifier panel will be warm to the touch.

The 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 system can be installed without subwoofers. If it is required extending the low end then the variant 18A is recommended.
Page 16
In applications like live sound concerts, disco dance music, where high sound pressure level is required double eighteen subwoofers should be used. DAS Audio recommends the LX-218CA. To align both systems an external DSP with two different signal lines will be needed. Note: the relationship between the number of subwoofers and the number of variant 112A depends on the application and is a parameter to be defined by the user.
Troubleshooting Problem Cause Solution No sound from the unit. 1- The signal source is sending 1- Check that the mixer or sound The SIGNAL presence LED no signal. source is sending signal to the UNIT. indicator(s) do(es) not light up. 2- Defective cable.
USING THE SYSTEM WITH SUBS SIGNAL INPUT SATELLITE When variant 25A units are used in combination OUTPUT with variant 18A subwoofers it is recommended to plug the mixer into the variant 18A's input and then to connect the variant 18A 138Hz high pass filtered output to the variant 25A input.

When using a subwoofer other than the variant 18A in combination with the variant 25A units, it is recommended that external processor be used to filter the signal fed into the variant 25A units at 138 If an externally amplified subwoofer unit is to be used in combination with variant 25A satellites, the signal treatment will depend on the characteristics of the subwoofer used.
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 The AX-V25 rigging grid (bumper) is made from steel beams and is designed to handle great loads.

C) AXW-V25 The 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.

The AXC-V112 can also be used to pole mount up to one unit on top of one variant 18A or on a tripod by making use of special adaptor (AXC-ZT). AXC-V112 M8x35 DIN912 screws The AXC-V112 ceiling mount accesory features AXC-ZT several holes on the top plate which allow for hook clamps to be fixed to it, so up to 2 units can be...
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”...
