DAS Audio Event-28A Powered 1300W Line Array

The EVENT-28A is an advanced symmetrical, compact, two-way powered line array system. Designed to provide outstanding performance and ease of use, this system features a stylish and portable polypropylene cabinet design that is both road-worthy and highly durable. With a comprehensive range of accessories, the EVENT-28A is perfect for small to mid-size rental and installation applications seeking superior sound quality.

This system integrates two 8" neodymium transducers and a single M-60 compression driver into a robust yet lightweight polymer cabinet. The 8" transducers, enhanced with neodymium magnets for reduced weight, ensure efficient sound projection and superior low-frequency response. The symmetric "V" shaped configuration of the cone transducers delivers consistent 100° horizontal coverage down to 200 Hz. The M-60 compression driver remains coupled to an advanced waveguide design, which controls the vertical dispersion and ensures precise coupling between units in vertical arrays.

Powered by a two-channel Class D amplifier, the EVENT-28A boasts 1300 Wpeak power. The amplifier's rear panel is equipped with high-quality Neutrik® XLR and powerCON connectors. Using the DAScontrol™ interface, users can quickly select presets based on the number of units in the array. The onboard DSP utilizes a 24-bit high-end processor to manage crossover, EQ, delay, and limiter functions. Incorporating FIR filtering technology, the EVENT-28A maintains constant phase response, leading to transparent sound and exceptional clarity that enhances the overall listening experience.

Installation and deployment of EVENT-28A arrays are streamlined with the innovative Fast Set Splay (FSS™) rigging system, which allows for quick angle selection while stacked on dollies. The stainless-steel rigging hardware supports flown arrays of up to 16 units, adjustable in 1° increments from 0° to 10°.

The EVENT-28A pairs seamlessly with the flyable companion subwoofer, the EVENT-118A, ensuring robust low-frequency reinforcement. Weighing 20 kg, the EVENT-28A strikes an excellent balance between size, performance, and portability, making it an ideal solution for a wide array of sound reinforcement applications.

  What type of speaker is the EVENT-28A?
A: It's a self-powered (active) 2-way line array module designed for professional sound reinforcement in concerts, events, and installations.

  Is EVENT-28A better than EVENT-26A?
A: Yes - compared to DAS Audio EVENT-26A, the 28A offers:

• More power
• Higher SPL
• Better low-frequency response (dual 8" vs 6.5")

  Can I use a single EVENT-28A alone?
A: You can, but it’s not ideal. It’s designed to be used in arrays (multiple cabinets) for proper coverage and performance.

  Does it need subwoofers?
A: Yes, for full-range systems. While it goes down to ~70 Hz, for deep bass you should pair it with subs like:

• EVENT-115A
• EVENT-118A

  Does it require an external amplifier?
A: No. It has a built-in Class D amplifier, so no external amp is needed.
