    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.

    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.

  • Page 15 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.

    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.
  • Page 19 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.

    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”...
