The

 

æro  8

A

 compact line array system joins 

the          family of professional sound touring 
products.

The system incorporates an impressive battery 

of high tech features that take compact line array 
systems 

to 

an 

unprecedented 

level 

of 

performance.  The  latest  in  Class  D  power 
amplification,  digital  processing  and  optimized 
D.A.S.  components  have  been  combined  with 
enclosures designed for rapid deployment, precise 
coverage and high acoustic output.

The

 

æro 8

A

 incorporates a D.A.S. 

8MN

, 8” low 

frequency transducer. The transducer employs a 
62 mm (2.5”) voice coil and neodymium magnet 
motor  assembly.  Effective  heat  evacuation  is 
achieved by way of the Total Air Flux (TAF) cooling 
scheme which permits high power handling and 
low power compression.

High  frequency  reproduction  relies  on  the 

exceptional characteristics of the new D.A.S. 

M-

60N

 neodymium compression driver designed for 

use  in  applications  where  high  SPL  and  low 
distortion are required. A pure titanium diaphragm 
featuring a 50 mm (2”), aluminium flat-wire voice 
coil  yields  high  sensitivity,  low  distortion  and 
extended frequency response. Each motor system 
has a copper shorting ring surrounding the pole 
piece  which  effectively  reduces  eddy  current 
induced  distortion  with  the  added  benefit  of 
increasing  the  very  high  frequency  output  by 
reducing the inductive rise of the voice coil. The 
driver is attached to a new 

BPS-191

 waveguide-

horn assembly.

The 

AX-aero8

 (rigging grid) accessory is used 

to fly the 

æro 8

A

 systems. To stack the 

æro 8

A

use  the 

AXS-aero8

.  The 

AX-LX212

  (rigging  grid) 

allows the 

æro 8

A

 to be flown below 

LX-212R

 or 

LX-212RA

.

æro 8A’s

The easily portable and rugged enclosure is 

manufactured  using  Birch  plywood  and  finished 
with a durable black paint. The 

 trapezoidal 

shape and rear located splay angle adjusters keep 
the front spacing between adjacent elements the 
same, providing the array with a “seamless” front 
baffle,  for  improved  array  performance.  The 
captive rigging system splay angles range from 0º 
to  10º  and  can  be  adjusted  in  1º  increments, 
allowing a wide range of column curvatures to be 
accomplished.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

LINE DRAWING

The two-way amplifier design of the 

æro  8

A

 

sets  a  new  industry  benchmark  in  audio 
performance, efficiency and power density. This is 
made possible by employing 3rd generation Class 
D technologies which have significantly improved 
three  key  parameters,  audio  performance, 
efficiency and weight.

The  350W  amplifier  provides  extended 

bandwidth,  improved  dynamic  range  and 
exceptionally low distortion. Impressively compact 
in size and light in weight, its high power density of 
over 12W per cubic inch promotes an ampliifer 
design that requires much less space, reducing 
the  overall  cabinet  size  and  in  turn,  the  total 
cabinet  weight-an  important  attribute  for  flown 
systems.  The  high  efficiency  of  the 

æro  8

A

 

amplifier ensures cool operation so that no fans or 
bulky heatsinks are needed.

Signal processing is accomplished by way of a 

powerful 24 bit DSP providing unparalleled control 
over  critical  signal  parameters.  Digital  Finite 
Impulse  Response  (FIR)  filters  are  used  in  the 
signal processing of the 

æro 

8A

. Using powerful 

Wavelet  analysis  to  provide  an  accurate  time-
frequency  representation  combined  with  precise 
adjustment of the FIR filters, D.A.S. engineers are 
able to achieve perfect time alignment.

The 

æro 8

A

 system is protected by two types 

of  limiters-an  instantaneous  peak  limiter  to 
safeguard  the  systems  against  spikes  and  a 
sonically  transparent  RMS  limiter  that  controls 
excessive overpowering and thermal damage to 
components. 

This 

combination 

provides 

comprehensive  protection  for  both  the  speaker 
components and signal electronics.
