High-SPL Line Array Power in a Scalable Format
The
DAS Audio EVENT-208A is a dual 8” powered 3-way line array cabinet engineered to deliver up to 131 dB SPL in flown or stacked applications. Designed for mid-sized venues, live concert systems, and portable DJ or AV sound reinforcement, it pairs compact dimensions with high output and seamless rigging.
A Class D bi-amplified design supplies 1300W peak (500W LF + 300W HF), and the onboard DSP features FIR filters, size correction EQ, and delay presets—all accessible via DAScontrol™. A trapezoidal polypropylene cabinet with integrated hardware supports up to 16 units flown using the AL-208 rigging frame or stacked above compatible EVENT subwoofers.
Real-World Applications and Sound Roles
- Mobile DJ Sound Systems: Stacks easily with powered EVENT subs for high-impact, full-range playback at weddings or large parties.
- Mid-Sized Live Venues: Flown arrays up to 16 units deliver even coverage across club, festival, and theater layouts.
- AV Rental & Production: Lightweight, DSP-tuned, and easy to deploy with PowerCON and loop-thru signal distribution.
- House of Worship or Auditoriums: Natural vocal response and directional control across multiple zones.
Built for demanding live environments, the EVENT-208A scales with your rig—whether you're running a mobile DJ system or permanent install, this box delivers.
Control Modes of the DAS Audio EVENT-208A
The EVENT-208A uses DAScontrol™ DSP with an onboard LCD and rotary encoder to access real-time configuration tools—no external software required. Array size presets automatically apply EQ compensation for phase consistency when flying 1–16 boxes. You also get high-pass filter selection, delay alignment, and subwoofer matching (EVENT-218A, 121A, 118A).
System techs, rental teams, or DJ users can optimize the cabinet for flown, stacked, or standalone deployment quickly from the rear panel. This gives full control on-site with no guesswork.
How to Deploy the DAS Audio EVENT-208A in the Field
The EVENT-208A is compatible with the AL-208 rigging frame for safe flown deployment. Up to 16 units can be flown vertically using the integrated rigging hardware. For ground stacks, the cabinet is designed to couple directly above DAS EVENT subwoofers, with precision angles and alignment maintained.
Balanced XLR I/O supports daisy chaining, while powerCON mains allow quick and safe AC routing for arrays, rentals, or DJ stacks. Whether you fly them for concerts or stack them for mobile rigs, deployment is fast, consistent, and clean.
Amplifier Architecture of the DAS Audio EVENT-208A
The onboard Class D bi-amplified power module supplies 1300W peak—1000W to the dual LF drivers and 300W to the high-frequency compression driver. A switch-mode power supply with universal mains support delivers consistent voltage handling across 115V or 230V systems.
The fanless design reduces noise and failure points in sensitive installs, while onboard limiters and thermal protection circuits protect the drivers in high-output situations. This platform is tuned to support both concert-grade flown arrays and high-impact DJ event use with zero external amps required.
Digital Signal Processing in the DAS Audio EVENT-208A
With FIR filtering, driver alignment presets, and array-specific EQ compensation, the EVENT-208A delivers clean, consistent voicing no matter how many boxes you deploy. DAScontrol™ gives real-time access to delay, HPF modes, and subwoofer pairings, all from the back panel.
Presets are labeled and intuitive for live engineers, system integrators, or mobile DJ operators setting up without a laptop or measurement rig.
With FIR filtering, system protections, and intuitive DAScontrol™, this DSP platform brings big-system clarity to even the most compact powered enclosures.
