æro

12A

compact line array system joins family of professional sound touring

The system incorporates an impressive battery of high tech features that take compact line array systems to an unprecedented level of performance. The latest in Class D power amplification, digital processing and optimized

D.A.S. components have been combined with enclosures designed for rapid deployment, precise coverage and high acoustic output.

The

æro

12A

incorporates a D.A.S.

12LN4C

12” low frequency transducer. The transducer

, employs a 75 mm (3”) voice coil and neodymium magnet motor assembly. Effective heat evacuation is achieved by way of the Total Air Flux (TAF) cooling scheme which permits high power handling and low power compression.

High frequency reproduction relies on the exceptional characteristics of the new D.A.S.

75N

M-

neodymium comprssion driver designed for use in applications where high SPL and low distortion are required. A pure titanium diaphragm featuring a 75 mm (3”) copper-clad, aluminium flatwire voice coil yields high sensitivity, low distortion and extended frequency response. Each motor system has a copper shorting ring surrounding the pole piece which effectively reduces eddy current induced distortion with the added benefit of increasing the very high frequency output by reducing the inductive rise of the voice coil. The driver is attached to a new

BPS-9010

aluminium waveguide-horn assembly.

The

æro

The easily portable and rugged enclosure is manufactured using Birch plywood and finished with a durable black paint.

The

æro12A’s

trapezoidal shape and rear located splay angle adjusters keep the front spacing between adjacent elements the same, providing the array with a

“seamless” front baffle, for improved array performance. The captive rigging system splay angles range from 0º to 10º and can be adjusted in 0.5º increments from 0º to 3º, and 1º increments from 3º to 10º allowing a wide range of column curvatures to be accomplished.

The two-way amplifier design of the

æro

12A

sets a new industry benchmark in audio performance, efficiency and power density. This is made possible by employing 3rd generation Class

D technologies which have significantly improved three key parameters, audio performance, efficiency and weight.

The 600W amplifier provides extended bandwidth, improved dynamic range and exceptionally low distortion. Impressively compact in size and light in weight, its high power density of over 20W per cubic inch promotes an ampliifer design that requires much less space, reducing the overall cabinet size and in turn, the total cabinet weight-an important attribute for flown systems. The high efficiency of the

æro

12A

amplifier ensures cool operation so that no fans or bulky heatsinks are needed.

Signal processing is accomplished by way of a powerful 24 bit DSP providing unparalleled control over critical signal parameters.

Digital Finite

Impulse Response (FIR) filters are used in the signal processing of the

æro

12A

. Using powerful

Wavelet analysis to provide an accurate timefrequency representation combined with precise adjustment of the FIR filters, D.A.S. engineers are able to achieve perfect time alignment.

The

æro

12A

system is protected by two types of limiters-an instantaneous peak limiter to safeguard the systems against spikes and a sonically transparent RMS limiter that controls excessive overpowering and thermal damage to components.

This combination provides comprehensive protection for both the speaker components and signal electronics.

Preliminary

This product should only be used in E1, E2, E3 or E4(*) environments, in accordance with standard

EN55103-2 (Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use. Part 2: Immunity.)

Do not cover the amplifier's radiator nor obstruct its ventilation.

For consumption reasons, it is important not to connect the equipment to the same line as the lighting systems, thus avoiding interruptions or sudden drops in lighting intensity.

ON / OFF

A sound system should be switched on sequentially. Switch on the self-powered units last in your sound system (switch on the subwoofer before the mid-high system). Switch on the sound sources such as CD players or turntables, then the mixer, then the processors, and finally the selfpowered unit. If you have several units, it is recommended that you switch them on sequentially one at a time.

Follow the inverse order when switching off, turning self-powered units off before any other element in the sound system.

Disconnect the device by removing the mains connector from the mains socket. The mains connector and mains socket must always be freely accessible and never covered or blocked in any way. The mains cable can be detached from the device by disconnecting the standard IEC-60320 connector.

Always disconnect the device by removing the mains connector from the mains socket before detaching the mains cable at the standard IEC-60320 connector.

IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect the unit when it is playing music.

Ensure that the device is disconnected from mains by observing that the ON LED is turned off.

Please note that the ON LED can stay on for several seconds after the mains power has been disconnected.

Overload indicator

This device has an indicator (LIMIT LED) that lights when the signal is excessive.

The indicator should not be lit continuously.

This distorts the signal (quickly fatiguing your ears) and may damage the speakers. Therefore, it is recommended that you never work with this LED on; at most it should blink only occasionally.

Overheating

This equipment does not normally overheat during normal conditions of use. When overheating occurs, the unit protects itself. You should then find out why and if necessary contact an authorised dealer for Technical Assistance.

Normally it is enough just to let the unit cool down after you have corrected the problem so that the system functions properly again.

Equalisation

The unit does not need extreme settings of equalisation to produce quality sound. Avoid high levels of gain on the equalisers. Gain values above

+3 dB on a console’s EQ are not recommended.

Low mains voltage

If mains voltage falls below the shutdown voltage for the unit, it will stop playing. When acceptable levels are regained, the unit will switch back on automatically.

The power supply allows the system to function using two voltage ranges: from 90V to

128V, for 115V AC version, and from 180V to

256V, for 230V AC version.

Therefore the current consumed by the first range (90 to 128V) is double the second to achieve the same acoustic power level.

can be used full-range. Full-range use is only recommended for applications where low SPL level and no bass reinforcement is adequate. To use it in this mode simply plug the mixer into the enclosure's input.

the

The most common use will be combined with

LX-218A

or

LX-218RA

. In this case different outputs of the mixing console will be used with the

æro

12A

and the SUBs. Both sub systems,

LX-

218A

and

LX-218RA

include signal treatment in the amplifiers extending their frequency range up to

85Hz. As well, the amplifier of the

æro

12A

incorporates signal treatment which provides frequency range extension down to 70Hz. Due to this overlap between 70-85Hz the use of an external delay to control and adjust the phase of the subs is recommended (with a digital processor, for example).

LX-218RA

The LOOP THRU connector is an output XLR in parallel with the input connector and is useful for daisy chaining the input signal to a number of boxes, connecting them in parallel.

The number of units that can be linked this way depends on the output impedance of the equipment driving the enclosure, such as the mixer or processor. Typically, to avoid signal degradation, the maximum number that can be daisy chained is given by the formula Zc>10Zs, where Zc is the load impedance and Zs is the output impedance of the equipment driving the enclosure (mixer, console, etc). For instance, a mixing console with

100 ohm output impedance allows daisy chaining

20 boxes, when the input impedance of the cabinets is 20K ohm.

RIGGING SYSTEM

Warning

This manual contains needed information for flying D.A.S. Audio line array systems, description of the elements and safety precautions. To perform any operations related to flying the system, read the present document first, and act on the warnings and advice given. The goal is to the allow the user to become familiar with the mechanical elements required to fly the acoustic system, as well as the safety measures to be taken during set-up and teardown.

Only experienced installers with adequate knowledge of the equipment and local safety regulations should fly speaker boxes. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the systems to be flown (including flying accessories) comply with state and local regulations.

The working load limits in this manual are the results of tests by independent laboratories. It is the user's responsibility to stay within safe limits. It is the user's responsibility to follow and comply with safety factors, resistance values, periodical supervisions and warnings given in this manual.

Product improvement by means of research and development is on going at D.A.S. Specifications are subject to change without notice.

To this date, there is no international standard regarding the flying of acoustic systems. However, it is common practice to apply 5:1 safety factors for enclosures and static elements. For slings and elements exposed to material fatigue due to friction and load variation the following ratios must be met; 5:1 for steel cable slings, 4:1 for steel chain slings and 7:1 polyester slings. Thus, an element with a breaking load limit of 1000 kg may be statically loaded with 200 kg (5:1 safety factor) and dynamically loaded with 142 Kg (7:1 safety factor).

When flying a system, the working load must be lower than the resistance of each individual flying point in the enclosure, as well as each box.

Hanging hardware should be regularly inspected and suspect units replaced if in doubt. This is important to avoid injury and absolutely no risks should be taken in this respect. It is highly recommended that you implement an inspection and maintenance program on flying elements, including reports to be filled out by the personnel that will carry out the inspections.

Local regulations may exist that, in case of accident, may require you to present evidence of inspection reports and corrective actions after defects were found.

Absolutely no risks should be taken with regards to public safety. When flying enclosures from ceiling support structures, extreme care should be taken to assure the load bearing capabilities of the structures so that the installation is absolutely safe. Do not fly enclosures from unsafe structures. Consult a certified professional if needed. All flying accessories that are not supplied by D.A.S. Audio are the user's responsibility. Use at your own risk.

), in both the case of stacked systems (stack) as in the case of flown systems (fly). 8 mm quick release safety pins are used to fix the guides in the holes.

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” (6.35mm, often referred to as jack) mono. 3 pin connector such as XLR (Cannon) may also carry unbalanced signals if one of the pins is unused.

Balanced line: Utilising a three conductor cable, one of them acts as a shield against electromagnetic noise and is the ground conductor. The other two have the same voltage with respect to the ground conductor but with opposite signs. The noise that cannot be rejected by the shield affects both signal conductors in the same way. At the device’s input the two signals get summed with opposite sign, so that noise is cancelled out while the programme signal doubles in level. Most professional audio devices use balanced inputs and outputs. Connectors that can carry balanced signal have three pins, such as XLR

(Cannon) and ¼” (6.35mm) stereo.

The graphs that follow show the recommended connection with different types of connectors to balanced processor or amplifier inputs. The connectors on the left-hand side come from a signal source, and the ones on the right hand side go to the inputs of the processor or amplifier. Note that on the unbalanced connectors on the left-hand side, two terminals are joined in side the connector. If hum occurs with balanced to balanced connections, try disconnecting the sleeve (ground) on the input connector. Note that the illustrations show what should be connected to what, but that pin locations on an actual XLR connector are different. Also, pin

2 hot is assumed on XLR connectors.
