Recommended System Pairings for the DAS VANTEC-15A
Amplifier Architecture of the DAS VANTEC-15A
At the core of the VANTEC-15A is a bi-amplified Class D power module delivering 1500W of peak output. The amp is split between LF and HF sections to ensure fast response, clean crossover behavior, and thermal stability even under extended use. A lightweight switch-mode power supply keeps weight down while maintaining dynamic accuracy.
- Class D Bi-Amp Design: Discrete amplifier paths for the low and high frequency sections preserve clarity and headroom at high SPL.
- 750W Continuous / 1500W Peak: Designed to push heavy bass without choking mids or flattening transients.
- Switch-Mode Power Supply: Reduces weight and improves voltage handling for mobile setups and variable power environments.
- Thermal & Signal Limiting: Monitors output load and temperature in real-time to prevent shutdown or distortion.
The result is an amp module you can count on—whether you're hammering through a DJ set at full tilt or running long hours in a stage install. It’s efficient, powerful, and doesn’t blink under pressure.
DSP Engine & Signal Protection of the DAS VANTEC-15A
The VANTEC-15A is equipped with a high-resolution 24-bit DSP platform that governs everything from crossover filtering to dynamic protection. With FIR filters, phase alignment, and adaptive EQ curves, this DSP engine gives you polished output without the need for outboard processing or constant re-tuning.
- FIR-Based Crossover Design: Linear phase filters preserve coherence between LF and HF sections and produce smoother off-axis response.
- 24-Bit Internal Processing: Maintains signal integrity and tonal precision across all DSP modes and system outputs.
- Dynamic EQ: Automatically adapts tone under high-output conditions to reduce harshness and preserve balance.
- Driver Protection & Limiting: Built-in thermal and output limiting routines protect components from mechanical or electrical damage.
- Delay Alignment: Adjustable delay time lets you configure time-corrected arrays or align tops with subs in complex systems.
This is true field-ready DSP: powerful enough to shape your mix, smart enough to protect your investment, and fast enough to set up in under 30 seconds flat.
