SF-20AL / SF-20AR

 

– 

DASnet™

 remote monitoring and control capable

 

– 

12AN4

 loudspeaker

 

– 

M-75N

 compression driver

 

– Custom colors available

 

– Companion subwoofer system 

SF-1521A

 

– 

JP-20

 hardware included.

 

The 

SF-20AL

  is  left  version,  while  the 

SF-20AR

  is  right 

version, of the mid-high unit which is part of the 

SF-Monitor

 

system. The powered 

SF-20A (L/R)

 can also be used individually 

to provide additional reach in areas not covered by the main 

Sound Force

 system. The mid range incorporates the optimized 

12AN4

  neodymium  loudspeaker  providing  high  output  and 

reliability. High frequency response relies on a compression 
driver-waveguide  assembly  which  employs  the 

M-75N

 

neodymium  compression  driver.  Two  aluminum  assemblies 
attached  to  the  front  of  the  cabinet  comprise  the  high 
frequency waveguide and the carrier for the 12” woofer. The 
rear of the 

SF-20A (L/R)

 is dominated by an aluminum heat sink 

housing the powerful Class D amplifier and related electronics.
 

A  new  stacking  system  allows  the 

SF-20A  (L/R)

  to  be 

mounted on the 

SF-1521A

 companion subwoofer and angled at 

the DJ´s preference.

SF-Monitor

 

The new 

SF-Monitor

 is a powered DJ monitor system designed by 

D.A.S.

 for discerning DJ´s world-wide. 

The impressive 

SF-Monitor

 comprises two parts, the 

SF-20AL

 (left version), or 

SF-20AR

 (right version), 

powered mid-high unit and the 

SF-1521A

an innovative two-way low frequency system. Specially designed 

stacking hardware allows the

 

SF-20AL

, or 

SF-20AR

to be mounted on the 

SF-1521A

 subwoofer and angled at 

the DJ´s preference. Both the 

SF-20A  (L/R)

 and the 

SF-1521A

 are 

DASnet™

 capable, allowing for remote 

monitoring and control of the systems.
 

The 

SF-Monitor

 is a true plug-and-play system. The audio signal can be sent to the 

SF-1521A

 directly from 

the DJ mixer and then looped to the 

SF-20A (L/R)

 thanks to the system presets located on the 

SF-20A (L/R)

 

and 

SF-1521A

 which align the two units without the need of an external DSP.
