Introduction The A50rack is a rugged touring rack that includes power amplifiers, processors, power distro, input patch panel and output patch panel for the aero 50 line array systems. There are two different options for the A50rack. Option1 (A50rack_1) is assembled with 3 x DAS Audio D-100 four channel amps and a DAS Audio DSP-2060A. The D-100 amplifier is a 4 channel class D switching power supply amplifier of 2800W per channel.
The presets The family of presets available for the three main different platforms (DAS DSP-2060A/4080, PowerSoft K-6, Lake Lm26 / PLM) is based on a flat frequency response of a single aero 50 cabinet. For updates check the DAS Audio website (aero 50 related downloads). www.dasaudio.com/en/p/aero-50-2/ Type B: to be used at the FOH DSP-4080 processor. The preset will compensate the array effect and the number of cabinets used. These presets will be named as follows: A50Vx.y 8U A50Vx.y 10U A50Vx.
The Rack presets - type A DAS DSP-2060A Presets(loaded in the processors) will be named as follows: A50Vxy LT+MT (input A for LT, input B for MT) Long Throw A50Vxy MT+MT A50Vxy MT+ST A50Vxy LT+ST Mid Throw Mid Throw Mid Throw Mid Throw Long Throw Short Throw Short Throw - To recall a memory or a preset using the front panel: press menu -->enter--> global memory-->enter-->recall a memory->enter-->Crossover-->enter and select the desired one.
LM-26 Modules will be named as follows: A50Vx.y LT A50Vx.y MT A50Vx.y ST Frame presets will be named as: A50Vx.y LT-MT (in A for LT, in B for MT) A50Vx.y MT-MT A50Vx.y MT-ST A50Vx.y LT-ST Mid Throw Long Throw Mid Throw Mid Throw Short Throw Mid Throw Short Throw Long Throw - To recall a frame preset using the front panel go to menu--> enter--> frame preset --> enter --> select the memory A50x.
Example: a system with 12 aero 50 per side with 3 different signal groups would be configured as follows: LT LT LT LT MT MT MT MT ST ST ST ST preset: A50Vxy LT+MT Mid Throw Long Throw Short Throw Mid Throw preset: A50Vxy MT+ST Bridge A-B Power A/P PRC A -24 -12 -6 -3 Limit OCM Bridge A-B -4 Power PRC D -24 -12 -6 -3 Limit OCM -4 -12 -2 -2 0 0 Ch. C Link PROFESSIONAL POWER AMPLIFIER Atten . dB -6 -4 -12 -2 0 Ch. B Link OCM Atten . dB -6 -4 -12 -2 0 Ch.
K-6 DSP amplifiers, presets will be named as follows: A50Vx.y Low -Low A50Vx.y Mid-High MT A50Vx.y Mid-High LT A50Vx.y Mid-High ST Due to the configuration of the power supply of the amps, Powersoft warns that both output channels must have a close to identical charge at output stage, since unbalanced charge will cause problems of excessive temperature rise. We recommend to follow next arrangement to the amplifier racks and cabling.
After armonía loads all presets (this can take a while) you can load the desired preset on each amplifier by doing right click on it and selecting from “Preset-->Recall” or either disconnect from the Net, and recall desired preset form the front panel of each Amplifier by “Local Presets” menu.
The array correction Type B presets: to be used at the FOH DSP-4080 With the DSP presets provided the frequency response of one single cabinet is flat. DAS Audio SA LogChirp - Frequency Response 09-05-2012 16.47.53 120.0 dBSPL 110.0 100.0 The preset will correct the array effect and the number of cabinets used. These presets will be named as follows: A50Vx.y 8U A50Vx.y 10U A50Vx.y 12U For instance: 90.0 A50V52 16U preset version 80.0 70.
