The 

AERO-20A

  is  a  2-way  powered  line  array  system  which  incorporates  connectivity  for  remote 

TM

monitoring and control. The unique configuration of the 

AERO-20A

 Advanced Line Array System (ALAS ) 

incorporates a 12” transducer in a bass-reflex configuration for low-end and mid range reproduction. High 
frequency  reproduction  relies  on  one  DAS  M-75N  compression  driver  attached  to  a  new  BPS-1912 
waveguide. This product is available in two horizontal coverages: 90º (referred to as 

AERO-20A

) and 120º 

(referred to as 

AERO-20.120A

).

 

Power for the 

AERO-20A

 is provided by a package of integrated electronics that includes a new 1200 W 

(2400 Wpeak) amplifier, advanced digital signal processing and connectivity for remote system management. 
The three channel, high efficiency Class D amplifier design is equipped with a switch mode power supply 
(SMPS) and a comprehensive protection package for both the amplifier as well as the components. Channel 
one powers the low-mid frequencies with channel two powering the high frequencies.

 

The 

AERO-20A

 incorporates the latest in digital signal processors. Brick wall FIR filters have been used to 

provide perfect alignment between ways achieving exceptionally uniform coverage, inclusive at the crossover 
point.  Top-of-the-line  AD/DA  converters  have  been  employed  allowing  for  significant  improvements  in 
dynamics, lower distortion and ultra-low noise levels.

TM

 

Remote monitoring and control is provided by way of 

DASnet

, the audio management application for 

TM

DAS powered cabinets and processors. The 

DASnet

 software offers users instant and intuitive view of the 

system status as well as control over the range of parameters of a single cabinet or a network of them.

 

The 

AERO-20A

 enclosure is brilliant in design. Constructed using birch plywood and finished with the ISO-

Flex black paint offers excellent protection and durability. Two individual assemblies comprising the high 
frequency waveguide and the carrier of the 12” woofer are made from injection molded aluminum and 
attached to the front of the cabinet. A two-piece injected aluminum heat sink housing the amplifier and 
related electronics is attached to the rear of the cabinet.

 

A robust steel grille with a powder coat finish has been used to protect the components. Stainless steel 

has been employed to fasteners and parts of the new rigging system. The captive rigging system has been 
designed to provide ease-of-use, safe rigging and precise aiming. Using captive links and quick-release pins, 
the spring-loaded links remain positioned while rigging and prevent rattling during operation.
