Wide Coverage in a Compact Line Array Form
The
DAS Audio EVENT-26A is a dual 6.5" powered line array cabinet designed for small-to-medium format reinforcement where size, clarity, and portability are critical. With a two-channel Class D amplifier delivering 800W peak power and integrated DSP presets, this array element brings precise coverage and high output in a compact footprint. Built for both flown and ground-stacked deployment, the EVENT-26A is ideal for mobile sound providers, AV integrators, and portable event rigs.
Compact Size, Professional Output: Featuring two 6.5" woofers and a single M-60 compression driver, the EVENT-26A delivers 100º horizontal dispersion and wide vertical coverage. The innovative aluminum enclosure is both lightweight and rugged, supporting fast rigging with integrated fittings and DAS’s Splay angle adjustment system. With FIR filters, multiple presets, and full protection circuitry onboard, it brings tour-grade clarity to compact events and mobile applications.
Real-World Applications and Sound Roles
- Small Venue Line Array: Ideal for conference halls, houses of worship, and club installs.

Designed for pro sound applications where clarity, pattern control, and compact rigging define success—this is high-performance audio in a truly mobile form.
Control Modes of the DAS Audio EVENT-26A
The EVENT-26A features rear-panel DSP access through the DAScontrol™ interface, allowing fast adjustment of system presets and configuration modes. Users can select array size compensation, choose subwoofer integration modes, and apply high-pass or full-range filters—all through a simple LCD and rotary encoder.
This intuitive interface enables FOH engineers to optimize system voicing in flown or ground-stacked deployments without the need for external software.

How to Deploy the DAS Audio EVENT-26A in the Field
The EVENT-26A supports both flown and stacked configurations. Use the AL-26 rigging frame for overhead arrays, or ground-stack up to four units on compatible DAS subwoofers like the EVENT-115A or EVENT-M210A. Its rear splay angle system makes alignment simple, while its lightweight aluminum construction streamlines setup and teardown.
For installs, the EVENT-26A integrates cleanly into wall- or truss-mounted array points using standardized fittings. Balanced XLR input and loop output connectors make signal routing fast and scalable.
Amplifier Architecture of the DAS Audio EVENT-26A
The EVENT-26A is powered by a two-channel Class D amplifier delivering 800W peak power (400W per channel). Designed for low distortion and fast transient response, it drives both woofers and the HF compression driver with consistent clarity across the entire dynamic range.
The fanless convection cooling design ensures silent operation—ideal for theater, AV, and speech-driven applications. Paired with a universal power supply, it handles voltage swings reliably across touring and installation environments.
Digital Signal Processing in the DAS Audio EVENT-26A
Onboard DSP includes FIR filtering, thermal and clip protections, and array-size compensation—all managed through the DAScontrol™ interface. Preset options include full-range operation, external subwoofer matching, and delay compensation for scalable arrays.
The precision tuning ensures uniform frequency response across multiple cabinets, giving operators full confidence in voicing, phase alignment, and coverage consistency from cabinet to cabinet.
This DSP platform brings the clarity and control of large-format line arrays to the EVENT-26A’s ultra-compact form—without compromising on system safety or sound signature.

Frequently Asked Questions about the DAS Audio EVENT-26A
How many EVENT-26A units can I fly in a vertical array?
Up to 16 units can be flown using the AL-26 rigging frame. Smaller ground-stacked arrays typically use 4–6 boxes per side.
Can the EVENT-26A work without subwoofers?
Yes. It can run in full-range mode for speech and acoustic content, but it’s best paired with subwoofers for full music reproduction.
What is the horizontal dispersion?
The EVENT-26A provides 100º horizontal coverage with a tightly controlled vertical pattern for line array use.
Does the EVENT-26A come with rigging hardware?
The enclosure includes integrated rigging points. For flown applications, the AL-26 frame is required and sold separately.
Need a compact line array that sounds massive? The DAS EVENT-26A delivers pro-level clarity in a format you can fly, stack, or scale—only at AVMaxx.
