INTRODUCTION
The new convert 15A serie arrayable loudspeaker is a powered, multi-purpose system incorporating a
series of breakthrough features that offer an unmatched level of versatility and performance. As its name
implies, the system's coverage capabilities can be easily “converted” to meet the specific requirements of
almost any application. An innovative electronics and digital signal processing package combined with
ground-breaking horn design offers “user-definable” optimization of the system's dispersion characteristics.
This allows the convert 15A to be deployed in either horizontal or vertical curved source arrays, or used
individually as a point source.
Add to these unique features, a powerful 2000 W, 3 channel, Class D amplifier, connectivity for system
management and control, and optional rigging hardware for safe flying or ground-stacking, and you have a
loudspeaker system engineered for exceptional flexibility and outstanding performance.
The new convert 15A serie is integrated for the models
:
convert 1560A, convert 1590A, convert 1560RA and convert 1590RA, these latter with Rigging System.
Features
- Mutlifunction system with variable dispersion
- Three channel amplifier with:
1000W LF + 500W HF + 500W HF
15 GNR bass loudspeaker

- Three M-60N Neodymium compression drivers

convert 1560A
Line array units exhibit narrow dispersion on the
coupling plane and wide coverage on the non-coupling
plane. These coverage characteristics, needed to perform
in multi-unit arrays, drastically reduce their ability to be
used as individual units. In order to overcome this
obstacle and convert the narrow coverage needed for an
array, to the wider coverage needed to use the convert
15A as an individual unit, D.A.S. engineers developed the
Digitally Convertible Dispersion (DCD ), a proprietary signal
TM TM
management interface which employs complex signal
processing via an advanced DSP. By means of the DCD ,
the dispersion on the coupling plane of the convert 15A
can be switched from 20º to 40º. Configuring the
convert 1590A
coverage characteristics of the convert 15A is surprisingly
simple. Switching the dispersion from 20º to 40º is as
easy as selecting one of the digital presets directly from
the interface on the rear of the cabinet or remotely
via .

Powering the convert 15A is a package of integrated

D design is equipped with a switch mode power supply
(SMPS) and a comprehensive protection package for both
the amplifier as well as the components. One channel
powers the low frequency way, and the other two
channels power the high frequency drivers.
The DCD incorporates the latest in digital signal

processors. Brickwall FIR filters have been used to
provide perfect alignment between ways achieving
exceptionally uniform coverage all the way down to the
crossover point. The top-of-the-line AD/DA converters
employed allow for significant improvements in dynamics,
lower distortion and ultra-low noise levels.

control over a range of parameters of a single cabinet or
processor via USB, or a network of them via RS485.
The wide frequency range and impressive output of
the convert 15A is possible thanks to the D.A.S. built
transducer components. For the high impact, low
frequency reproduction required in a system of this level,
D.A.S. employs the 15GNR loudspeaker, a 15” device
incorporating a 102 mm (4”) edge-wound voice coil and a
light-weight neodymium magnet assembly
Three M-60N neodymium compression drivers are
used to handle high frequency reproduction. The drivers
employ a 44 mm (1.75") voice coil made using copper
clad aluminum flat wire bonded to a urea polyamide
diaphragm. This high performance thermoplastic,
improves sensitivity and acoustic output as well as timbre.
The M-60N units are attached to the new BPS-320

As a point source, the drivers receive the DCD

processed signal widening the curvature of the wavefront
to 40º. This permits the convert 15A to be used as a single
cabinet or pairs of cabinets delivering the required
coverage to a broader area.

The convert 15A enclosure is constructed using birch
plywood and finished with the ISO-flex black paint
providing excellent protection and durability. The 20º
trapezoidal shape of the convert 15A enclosure allows for
tightly packed arrays with minimal high frequency
interaction. As an aid when stacking the enclosures in
vertical arrays, rubber locators on the side panels match
with fitting points on the surfaces of adjacent cabinets
preventing slippage.
