SARA-SUB
SARA-SUB is a high-fidelity subwoofer that offers an accurate
and powerful bass response thanks to its cardioid design. The
system incorporates a DAS 18UXN neodymium loudspeaker
with a 4″ voice coil for excellent low-frequency reproduction.
In addition, a rear 15FWN neodymium 3″ voice coil speaker cre-
ates the necessary cardioid dispersion pattern to compensate
for unwanted energy in the rear.
The SARA-SUB’s built-in class D amplifier has 4 channels in
bridge mode for each of the speakers. The switch-mode power
supply has a correction factor, allowing for greater efficiency
and reliability under all operating conditions. The built-in DSP
optimizes the signal parameters for the loudspeakers and al-
lows for 14 dB of rear power compensation in the 40 Hz – 80 Hz
range.
The enclosure design meets the strict DAS standards for the
use of high-quality materials, such as birch plywood and ISO-
flex™ exterior protection. In addition, the rigging system allows
the SARA to be flown underneath the SARA-SUB, using the JP-
SARA. The metal grids incorporate acoustically transparent,
moisture-repellent fabric. Recessed handles on the sides of the
enclosure facilitate transport and handling.
