Smaller arrays, having LF drivers less than eight inches in diameter can be a perfect choice in many smaller venues, whether in performances spaces, theaters, houses of worship and for all sorts of portable rental gigs. With a larger system, these are also perfect as low-profile front fills, underbalcony speakers, etc. Here are a few to consider.
FEATURED PRODUCT
DAS Audio EVENT-26A
Designed for touring/rental services, concerts, theater, house of worship and corporate AV, the EVENT-26A is an ideal choice where high-quality audio from a compact system is critical. The system matches two long-excursion 6.5” woofers with a 1.75” compression driver on a 100° waveguide with 800 watts of Class-D power, DAScontrol networking, onboard 24-bit DSP and FIR filtering — all in a lightweight, rugged package capable of 131 dB max SPLs.
Flexible rigging hardware makes the Event-26A equally at home whether simply mounted above a subwoofer or for quick deployment in FSS (Fast Set Splay) arrays with up to 16 units in a hang. And a flyable, powered Event-115A companion subwoofer can be added to expand LF response.
