DAS Audio’s newest line of sound solutions, the Quantum systems feature outstanding speech intelligibility along with aluminum (tops) and wood (subwoofer) enclosures available in a range of sizes and colors. With passive systems Q-3-T, Q-23-T, Q-43-T, and Q-10, and an active system, the Q-10A, the new Q-Series is designed for small- to medium-sized installations, venues with complex acoustics, and as frontfill and under-balcony sound reinforcement.

The Quantum Series is designed as the ideal solution for fixed-installs with complex acoustics because of the systems’ “vertical coverage” technology, making them the perfect choice for responding to a variety of challenges that venues pose, delivering outstanding speech intelligibility and excellent music reproduction as a result. The series was designed with restaurants, museums, hotels, cultural centers, conference rooms, shopping centers, and stations in mind, and availability in a range of colors means the systems can either play a prominent role in the décor or blend seamlessly with their surroundings.

The Q-3, Q-23, and Q-43 measure 10.5 x 12.6 x 12.5 cm, 18.8 x 12.6 x 12.5 cm, and 35.4 x 12.6 x 12.5 cm respectively, are manufactured with an aluminum enclosure, and can incorporate the IP-54 kit when required. Available in any RAL color (minimum order of units required).

The Q-3 has two operating modes (voice and music) that guarantee superb sound in any acoustic environment. The Q-23 and Q-43 have a system-integrated filter that makes it possible to control the system’s vertical dispersion lobe by 70º/90º and 30º/45º, respectively, thus managing and reducing the reverb.

The Q-10 (passive) and Q-10A (active) are subwoofers with a 40 Hz – 200 Hz frequency range, designed in an ultra-compact, low-profile birch plywood enclosure available in black or white. The Q-10A system is equipped with a Class D switched-mode amplifier, with two signal inputs, variable low-pass filter, and parameter adjustment (deep/loud) with DAScontrol technology. Low frequency clarity and reproduction make this an unbeatable system for delivering outstanding music reproduction.

To ensure peak system performance, reliability, and durability, DAS Audio recommends that only its electronics be used with this series. The DSP-226 digital processor and both versions of the IA amplifier (400 watts and 1000 watts) are the perfect match for the Quantum Series.

Streetwise Sales is excited to announce the addition of leading microphone manufacturer CAD Audio to our line card for the Metro New York area.

About CAD Audio

CAD Audio originally took shape as the Astatic Corporation in 1931, founded by C.M. Chorpening and F.H. Woodworth, two ham radio operators who needed a static-free microphone for their transmitters. They worked with local engineers to develop the company’s first crystal radio microphone, the model D-104.

Having overcome the problem of static—hence the company name “Astatic”— and improved the quality of radio transmitter microphones in general, Chorpening and Woodworth went on to incorporate in 1933 and develop a line of innovative crystal mics, phonograph pickups and recording heads. Astatic also made significant contributions to the allied effort in World War II with an underwater sound detection hydrophone and static-discharger for Army and Navy aircraft.

Now known as Astatic Commercial Audio Products, the company has evolved into a successful manufacturer of commercial microphones for a wide variety of industrial applications. Astatic microphones can be found in restaurants, airports, churches, schools, and corporate boardrooms worldwide. Their ongoing success is based on Variable Pattern Technology available in hanging, gooseneck, and boundary types. The pick-up patterns can be controlled on the microphone, by using the remote pattern control box or through some of the industries’ most popular digital signal processors.

CAD Audio offers many series of products:Recording, CADLive Products, Astatic Commercial, USB, Headphones, and Wireless Microphone & IEM Systems.These offerings will further grow and evolve as the company continues to build on over 85 years of innovation and success in the audio industry.

CAD (Conneaut Audio Devices) Professional Microphones was initially formed in 1988 as the Pro Audio division of the company to design and manufacture microphones for the recording and live sound markets, segments not served by Astatic. Initially, CAD introduced a revolutionary servo circuit console and breakthrough processing products, then went on to develop a series of innovative and cost-effective high performance studio microphones. These included the highly acclaimed E100, E200 and E300 Equitek Series mics that literally defined the project studio revolution of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

More recent CAD developments include the introduction of the CADLive 3000 Series Wireless Systems, StageSelect IEM and the GXLV & GXLU Dual Channel Wireless Systems.

DAS Audio presents the ACTION-500 series, consisting of 8 active and 7 passive loudspeaker models, which include a 12” monitor, full-range systems consisting of 8″, 12″, 15″ and 2 x 15”, and 3 subwoofers. The complete renovation of one of DAS Audio’s most recognized series upgrades both design and physical features—making the systems more compact and lightweight, with an attractive modern design.

The ACTION series was born with the mission of offering a range of products that take advantage of the vast experience acquired by DAS in the demanding world of sound touring. The ACTION Series provides a range of products that offer true value, thanks to its excellent price/performance ratio.

The ACTION-508 incorporates a new DAS designed 8GV transducer and M-34 compression driver. The ACTION-508A powered version incorporates a new Class D power amplifier—providing higher power, thus optimizing the performance of the system. All full-range systems in the ACTION series, including the ACTION-508/512/515 and 525 have new horns that provide improved frequency response on both the vertical and horizontal planes while offering a wider 90ºx 60º dispersion for room-filling coverage. The horns can be rotated to maintain coverage coherency when used in the horizontal position. The ACTION-512/512A and ACTION-515/515A have dual angle pole mounts, 0º and 10º, making it possible to adapt the coverage when needed.

All active systems incorporate a mixer with 2 signal inputs, offering versatility when used by performing musicians, DJs, or any application requiring two sound sources. DAScontrol™ technology with a rear located LCD screen enables the selection of up to 3 different presets (Live, Dance, and Monitor) and HPF and LPF filters that optimize the systems when used with subwoofers. The powered systems provide the option of using the logo as a limit indicator, which can easily be seen from the front of the cabinets.

The subwoofers of the series, the ACTION-S18 and S218, improve their performance with a new transducer (18FW) designed by DAS Audio. The high excursion transducers achieve clarity and high power in the reproduction of low frequencies.

The enclosure, made of birch wood and coated with black ISO-Flex paint, is designed to achieve high durability and resistance to withstand the most demanding environments.

Once again, DAS Audio has firmly positioned itself as a committed and first level provider of professional sound solutions, delivering systems conceived specially for the task.

DAS Audio announced the launch of two new products earlier this year, the Vantec-20A and the Vantec-118A, which join the Vantec Series lineup of portable systems and have been making some real (pleasant sounding) noise in the market!

The Vantec-20A is an active curved source line array that incorporates an arsenal of hi-tech solutions designed to provide the versatility today’s sound hire professionals need. Whether stacked on the powered Vantec-118A companion subwoofer, flown in a compact array, or used alone on a speaker stand, the Vantec-20A can be used effectively in a sizable number of applications that include corporate A/V, mid-size sound reinforcement, and permanent installation.

Designed for use in arrays of up to five units, the Vantec-20A is ideal for applications that don´t require the power and long-throw characteristics of large line arrays. Fast and simple deployment are guaranteed thanks to the exclusive D.A.S. Click-LockTM rigging hardware, which enables the system to be securely stacked on, or flown from, the Vantec-118A. Individual units can be mounted on tripods with precise aiming possible, thanks to the variable angle pole mount that allows for up to 13.5º of up or down tilt.

The Vantec-20A employs the DAScontrol™ interface, which offers a quick and hassle-free setup of the systems in arrays and easy alignment with the Vantec-18A and Vantec-118A active bass systems without the need of external processing. Presets for array size and HF compensation for throw distances can be selected by way of DAScontrol™ and the LCD screen on the back of the cabinet. The powerful digital signal processing of the Vantec-20A includes Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters providing linear phase response and precise impulse response, which in terms of performance, results in added clarity, defined attack and overall, a more natural sound. When the Vantec-20A is used individually, the DASlink™ APP can be used to stream music in high definition stereo and remotely monitor and control the system’s functions. Power is supplied by a cutting-edge 1500 Wpeak Class D amplifier in a bi-amplified configuration driving a single DAS12F4C loudspeaker and twin M-60 compression drivers.

The Vantec-118A is an active front-loaded bass system that has been designed specifically for use with the Vantec-20A curved source line array. Compact in size, the unit can be flown in arrays or linked together in ground stacks, thanks to the DAS Click-LockTM rigging system, which is compatible with the Vantec-20A.

The electronics package includes a 2000 Wpeak Class D amplifier and 24-bit high-end DSP for exceptional audio reproduction. A unique “Deep-Loud” EQ switch allows users to tailor the bass output to provide a low subwoofer type response using the “Deep” setting or a louder hard-hitting performance in the “Loud” setting. Controls on the rear panel manage gain, polarity, and a continually variable low-pass filter that ranges from 80 Hz to 125 Hz. The Vantec-118A is phase response coherent with the other Vantec Series active tops like the Vantec-20A—delivering precise alignment without the need of an external DSP.

As with all D.A.S. professional systems, the new Vantec products are manufactured using birch plywood and finished with the protective DAS ISO-flex coating. Optional accessories include rigging bumpers, transport dollies, protective covers, and locking pole mount.
