Das Audio ACTION-515A

DAS ACTION-500: The "Touring" DNA Applied to a Versatile Speaker

The DAS ACTION-515A is part of the ACTION-500 series, designed to offer a reliable active solution equally comfortable in fixed installations and mobile sound reinforcement. True to the brand's design philosophy, it features a birch plywood enclosure (as used in touring systems) to deliver a warmer and more natural sound while maintaining durability suited to transport and stage demands.

A Speaker for Stage, DJs, and Events: Easy to Deploy, Effective for Sound Reinforcement

Thanks to its 15-inch format, the ACTION-515A is ideal for sound reinforcement of bands, DJ performances, music playback in entertainment venues, as well as vocals (speeches, conferences, A/V, presentations). Its rotatable horn facilitates integration depending on the setup: mounted on a stand, used as a stage monitor, installed horizontally, or employed as a front-fill when controlled coverage is required.

DAScontrol, Presets, and Settings: Precise Control Directly on the Speaker

24-bit DSP and DAScontrol Interface with LCD Screen

The heart of the system is a 24-bit DSP controlled via the DAScontrol interface and a rear LCD screen. You can quickly access essential parameters to adapt the speaker to the venue, musical style, and positioning (front-of-house or monitoring), while maintaining clear visibility of settings during operation.

Presets, Filtering, Delay, and Operational Safety

The ACTION-515A includes dedicated pre-equalizations (Live, Dance, Monitor), a HPF (high-pass filter) to optimize pairing with a subwoofer, and an adjustable delay useful in multi-speaker setups. For professional use, access to settings can be locked (with or without password), and automatic standby can be enabled when no audio signal is detected.

Connectivity Designed for the Field

With 2 balanced XLR inputs (mic/line), a 3.5 mm AUX mini-jack input, and an XLR loop output, the speaker easily integrates with a mixer, DJ controller, or A/V source. The system is designed for quick setup changes while maintaining fine control over gain and source mixing.
