SYSTEM DESCRIPTION DAS Audio offers two line array systems; the CA-28 (mid-high) and the CA-215 (low). DAS Audio offers two line array systems; the CA-28 (mid-high) and the CA-215 (low) which make up the aero 28. They have been conceived as light, easy to use, modular systems that, when coupled to other units in a coherent manner allow for a resulting equivalent linear source with high efficiency, high directivity and extended bandwidth to 80Hz (-6dB), in the case of the CA-28 mid/hi unit.
CA-215A Self powered systems The aero 28 series include two powered systems: CA-28A and CA-215A. Amplifier panel description, CA-215A: CA-28A A) LIMIT: Amplifier limiter indicator lights. When lit, the level of the signal source should be reduced. Two way bi-amplified system. Amplifier power 350W+100W. Amplifier panel description, CA-28A: A) LIMIT: Amplifier limiter indicator lights. When lit, the level of the signal source should be reduced.
Low mains voltage Switch ON/OFF A sound system should be switched on sequentially. Switch on the self-powered unit last in your sound system. Switch on the sound sources such as CD players or turntables, then the mixer, then the processors, and finally the self-powered unit. If you have several units, it is recommended that you switch them on sequentially one at a time. Follow the inverse order when switching off, turning self-powered units off before any other element in the sound system.
The LOOP THRU output is an output XLR in parallel with the input connector and is useful for daisy chaining the input signal to a number of boxes, connecting them in parallel. The number of units that can be linked this way depends on the output impedance of the equipment driving the enclosure, such as the mixer or processor.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION No sound from the unit. The SIGNAL presence LED indicator(s) do(es) not light up. 1 – The signal source is sending no signal. 1 – Check that the mixer or sound source is sending signal to the UNIT. 2 – Defective cable. 2 – Check that the cable from the sound source to the UNIT is connected correctly. Replace the cable if defective. Full power cannot be obtained. The LIMIT LED indicator(s) never light(s) up.
RIGGING SYSTEM Warning This manual contains needed information for flying DAS Audio line array systems, description of the elements and safety precautions. To perform any operations related to flying the system, read the present document first, and act on the warnings and advice given. 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 tear-down.
The G1A front guide provides a solid connection to the box and whatever is on top of it, while the G2A back guide determines the vertical splay angle (whether stacked or flown), as a function of the hole where the pin gets inserted. For flying boxes (flown) boxes and defining the splay angle, the pins must be inserted in the slot of guide 2, whereas for stacking (stacked), the pin goes through the top whole of the guide: Rigging elements.
The AX-CA grid is made from 50x30x2mm steel tubing and is designed to handle great loads. It features a centre reinforcement bar that is also used for the lifting slings. The bar has a series of holes (17) with a 2cm diameter that provide a pickup point for the steel chain slings or the hoists. The pickup point chosen will determine the tilt angle of the whole array. 4 additional pickup points exist for securing the array and prevent it from rotating.
INSTALLATION QUICK GUIDE Up to 4 CA-28 units can de stacked over CA-215 units, using integrated rigging hardware. Cabinets are stacked “one by one”. STACKED Up to 6 CA-28 units can be stacked over PL-28S, using integrated rigging hardware. CA-215 CA-215+CA-28 CA-28 CA-28 cabinets can be flown “one by one”. CA-215 cabinets are flown “one by one”. FLOWN Cabinets are flown “one by one”. CA-28 cabinets can be flown using PL4-28.

TABLE OF PARAMETERS EN CONTROLLER The DSP-26 processor is designed to optimise the audio signal for the Aero systems when used with external amplification. The program aero 28B is recommended for use with the CA-28B and the CA-215.
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.
