Remote monitoring is provided by way of the 

 

monitoring system and software, an audio management 
application for 

 powered cabinets and processors. 

The 

 software offers users instant and intuitive 

control over a range of parameters of a single cabinet or 
processor via USB, or a network of them via RS485.

The wide frequency range and impressive output of 

the 

convert  15A

 is possible thanks to the D.A.S. built 

transducer  components.  For  the  high  impact,  low 
frequency reproduction required in a system of this level, 
D.A.S. employs the 

15GNR

 loudspeaker, a 15” device 

incorporating a 102 mm (4”) edge-wound voice coil and a 
light-weight neodymium magnet assembly

Three 

M-60N

  neodymium  compression  drivers  are 

used to handle high frequency reproduction. The drivers 
employ a 44 mm (1.75") voice coil made using copper 
clad  aluminum  flat  wire  bonded  to  a  urea  polyamide 
diaphragm.  This  high  performance  thermoplastic, 
improves sensitivity and acoustic output as well as timbre. 
The  M-60N  units  are  attached  to  the  new 

BPS-320 

TM

dSerpis

 trifunctional waveguide.

The new generation of Serpis waveguide technology is 

exhibited  in  the  extraordinary  design  of  the 

.   Producing a time-aligned, phase coherent 20º 

wave front, the 

 maximizes the combined 

output of the three 

M-60N

 drivers. When used in tight-

packed horizontal or vertical curved source arrays, the 

 provides extremely tight pattern control 

with minimal interaction between horns.

TM

As  a  point  source,  the  drivers  receive  the 

DCD

 

processed signal widening the curvature of the wavefront 
to 40º. This permits the 

convert 15A

 to be used as a single 

cabinet  or  pairs  of  cabinets  delivering  the  required 
coverage to a broader area.

The 

convert 15A

 enclosure is constructed using birch 

plywood  and  finished  with  the  ISO-flex  black  paint 
providing  excellent  protection  and  durability.  The  20º 
trapezoidal shape of the 

convert 15A

 enclosure allows for 

tightly  packed  arrays  with  minimal  high  frequency 
interaction. As an aid when stacking the enclosures in 
vertical arrays, rubber locators on the side panels match 
with fitting points on the surfaces of adjacent cabinets 
preventing slippage. 

TM

The optional 

InterLox

 rigging system can be used to 

quickly  and  safely  assemble  tight-packed  vertical  or 
horizontal curved-source arrays. M-10 threaded rigging 
points are provided for use in permanent installation (for 
more information see Rigging Manual).
