D.A.S. Audio Event 208A Description

The D.A.S. Audio Event 208A is engineered to deliver high-quality sound reinforcement in a compact and efficient design. Its three-way configuration features dual 8" woofers and a 1.5" compression driver, providing a full-range frequency response from 75 Hz to 20 kHz. The 1080W peak power output is distributed through Class-D amplifiers, ensuring clean, powerful audio with minimal distortion, suitable for both small and large venues. The Event 208A’s advanced DSP, accessible through the Easy DSP interface, allows users to easily adjust settings for different array configurations and down-fill applications. The twin-band design assigns specific frequency ranges to each woofer, reducing phase issues and maintaining a smooth response throughout the low and mid frequencies. Its injected aluminum waveguide ensures precise 90° horizontal coverage, delivering consistent sound to every corner of the venue. The rear panel provides a line-level XLR input and loop-thru output for seamless integration with additional array modules. The sturdy birch plywood enclosure, protected by a durable ISO-flex finish, is equipped with bar handles for easy transport. With the capability to be deployed in ground-stack configurations or flown with up to 24 units, the Event 208A adapts to a wide range of professional audio applications.
