INTRODUCTION General information Thank you for purchasing a D.A.S. product. This product represents more than 30 years of expertise in transducer and enclosure design, achieving a series of systems that utilize the most advanced sound reinforcement technology to deliver outstanding audio performance and maximum reliability. This manual contains the required information to make the best use of the system you have purchased. Please take the time to read it. Our Web www.dasaudio.
avant 15A & avant 215A amplifier 1) INPUT : 1/4” Jack+XLR combined socket-type input signal connector. This is a balanced connector just like the LOOP THRU connector with the following pin assignments: 1 or S =GND (ground). 2 or T =(+) Non inverted input. 3 or R =(-) Inverted input. 2) LOOP THRU : XLR-type output signal connector for connecting several units together and sending them all the same signal. 3) LIMIT : Red LED indicates amplifier saturation. Amplifier limiter indicator lights.
avant 18A amplifier 6 LIMIT PHASE 0º 180º MIN MAX 60Hz 160Hz SIGNAL INPUT SIGNAL 100Hz SATELLITE OUTPUT ON LOW-PASS SUB LEVEL CROSSOVER INPUT A INPUT B THRU HPF 1) INPUT : A and B, XLR-type input signal connectors. These are balanced connectors just like the A and B, SATELLITE OUTPUT, connectors with the following pin assignments: 1=GND (ground). 2=(+) Non inverted input. 3=(-) Inverted input.
USE Preliminary This product should only be used in E1, E2, E3 or E4(*) environments, in accordance with standard EN55103-2 (Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video, audio-visual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use. Part 2: Immunity.) Do not cover the amplifier's radiator nor obstruct its ventilation.
RIGGING The goal is to the allow the user to become familiar with the mechanical elements required to fly the acoustic system, as well as the safety measures to be taken during set-up and teardown. Only experienced installers with adequate knowledge of the equipment and local safety regulations should fly speaker boxes. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the systems to be flown (including flying accessories) comply with state and local regulations.
CONFIGURATIONS Configuration 1 Basic configuration with two avant 12A satellite systems and one (or two) is ideal for applications such as presentations, A/V, etc. avant 18A subwoofers. This Configuration 2 Basic configuration with two avant 12A or avant 15A, two avant 18A subwoofers and two used as stage monitors for use in small scale live events such as bands, DJ´s, etc.
Configuration 3 Minimum configuration using two events, Dj’s, etc. avant 215A and two avant 18A subwoofers for portable PA in live Configuration 4 Typical configuration using avant systems for live events. Note: The avant 18A units should be paralleled using the SATELLITE OUTPUT in the ‘THRU’ position to avoid filtering of the looped signal.
TROUBLESHOOTING SOLUTION CAUSE PROBLEM No sound from the unit. The SIGNAL LED does not light up. 1 – The signal source is sending no signal. 2 – Defective cable. 3 - The amplifier has overheated. Full power cannot be obtained. The LIMIT LED never lights up. The signal source does not have a hot enough output. If using a mixer, use the balanced output if available. Use a professional mixer with a hotter output. Sound is distorted. The LIMIT LED is not on, or only lights up occasionally.

APPENDIX: Line connections: unbalanced and balanced There are two basic ways to transport an audio signal with microphone or line level: Unbalanced line: Utilising a two conductor cable, it transports the signal as the voltage between them. Electromagnetic interference can get added to the signal as undesired noise. Connectors that carry unbalanced signals have two pins, such as RCA (Phono) and ¼” (6.35mm, often referred to as jack) mono.
