A Reference in the ALTEA-700 Series Designed for Modern Performances
Within the ALTEA range, the ALTEA-712A stands out as a high-power model aimed at live use: its active architecture, advanced DSP, and rear panel ergonomic controls meet the demands of current performances where quick switching between front-of-house, stage monitors, and temporary installations is required. The integration of voicing presets and management tools (EQ, delay, routing) allows adaptation to very different venues without multiplying devices.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses? A Powered Speaker Tailored for Live, Event, and Light Installation
This DAS Audio powered speaker targets bands, DJs, event professionals, sound technicians, and organizations seeking a reliable, powerful, and easy-to-deploy solution. With its 90 deg x 60 deg coverage and high sound pressure level, the ALTEA-712A is suitable for concert sound reinforcement, corporate audiovisual, mobile clubs, theaters/auditoriums, and places of worship. Its format also allows use as a stage monitor when the setup requires it.
DSP, Voicings, and Connectivity: Precise Control Without Complexity
The heart of the ALTEA-712A lies in digital processing designed to secure sound quality in real conditions. The FIR filters contribute to controlled response, while the 24-bit DSP provides access to field-ready settings: choice of pre-equalization (Live, Dance, Vocals, Bass Boost), 3-band equalizer, high-pass filter (HPF) frequency adjustment, delay (0 to 9.9 meters), expander, control of brightness and parameter locking with or without password, as well as automatic standby in the absence of signal.
Transducers Focused on Impact and Definition
The low-frequency section is entrusted to the DAS 12F4 loudspeaker for solid and articulated bass reproduction, while the highs are handled by the M-28 compression driver, designed to provide precise dispersion and smooth listening. This 2-way duo aims for an effective balance: attack for vocals and instruments, and sustain for energy-rich content (drums, bass, electronic music).
DAScontrol Interface and DASlink Ecosystem
At the rear, the LCD screen facilitates quick adjustments (levels, EQ, delay, voicing), which is particularly useful when the speaker switches from front-of-house to monitor roles. For compatible configurations, DASlink adds a practical dimension: HD stereo streaming from a mobile device and monitoring/control possibilities, simplifying setups (background music, small stages, events, rehearsals) without sacrificing the essential functions of a sound reinforcement speaker.
