Powerful Coverage from a Scalable Line Array Module
The
DAS Audio EVENT-28A is a dual 8” powered line array cabinet engineered for medium to large-scale sound reinforcement. With 1000W peak power, FIR-based DSP processing, and 100º horizontal coverage, it delivers high SPL and uniform sound dispersion. Designed to fly or ground-stack with EVENT series subs, the EVENT-28A brings true array performance to touring systems, rental houses, and installed venues.
Precision-Voiced, Road-Ready, and Configurable: The aluminum-reinforced polypropylene enclosure keeps weight low without sacrificing durability. With integrated rigging hardware and DAScontrol™ on board, users can quickly configure arrays with size compensation, delay presets, and subwoofer integration. It’s scalable, intuitive, and ready to deploy wherever line array precision is needed—indoors or out.
Real-World Applications and Sound Roles
- Concert PA Arrays: Designed for flown or stacked use in mid-sized concert and festival stages.
- Rental & Touring Rigs: Durable, scalable, and fast to deploy—ideal for AV providers and mobile pros.
- Churches & Theaters: Flexible installation-ready solution with controlled horizontal and vertical coverage.
- Corporate AV / Convention Use: Lightweight with clean rigging and consistent clarity in challenging spaces.
The EVENT-28A delivers pro-grade line array power with the rigging efficiency and DSP control needed for modern mobile and installed sound systems.
Control Modes of the DAS Audio EVENT-28A
The EVENT-28A is driven by DAScontrol™, which provides fast access to FIR presets, system delay, subwoofer crossover points, and array size compensation. Via the rear LCD and encoder, users can adjust the cabinet’s performance based on how many units are deployed, whether the system is stacked or flown, and how it integrates with EVENT-series subwoofers.
All adjustments are available without external DSP or software, making field control fast and technician-friendly.

How to Deploy the DAS Audio EVENT-28A in the Field
The EVENT-28A supports full rigging integration with the AL-28 frame, allowing arrays of up to 16 units to be flown safely. Each cabinet includes captive rigging hardware and angle adjustment for precise vertical control. For ground-stacked applications, the EVENT-28A pairs cleanly with DAS EVENT-118A or EVENT-121A subwoofers using stack guides.
Standard XLR loop-through and PowerCON locking AC ensure fast and safe deployment on stage or in permanent installs.
Amplifier Architecture of the DAS Audio EVENT-28A
Inside the EVENT-28A is a two-channel Class D amplifier delivering 1000W peak (500W per channel) and 500W continuous output. It powers the dual 8” woofers and HF driver with headroom to spare, ensuring strong midbass and smooth top end, even in large arrays.
Thermal and current protections are built-in, while a universal power supply enables consistent output on 115V or 230V mains. Fanless convection cooling ensures silent operation in performance or AV settings.
Digital Signal Processing in the DAS Audio EVENT-28A
With FIR filtering, system protections, and intuitive preset selection via DAScontrol™, the EVENT-28A delivers consistent voicing across array sizes and configurations. DSP functions include delay, HPF modes, subwoofer alignment presets, and array EQ tailoring based on box count.
DAS’s DSP platform ensures phase alignment and coherent summation across cabinets, even when mixing flown and stacked units in the same deployment.
With FIR filtering, system protections, and intuitive DAScontrol™, this DSP platform brings big-system clarity to even the most compact powered enclosures.
