EVENT-212A

EVENT-212A

The EVENT-212A is a powered, 3-way line array which employs two 12″ loudspeakers in a dual band
configuration where each speaker operates in a specific frequency range. At low frequencies, the speakers work in
tandem for maximum power, each driven by a dedicated amplifier channel providing 1000 Wpeak output power.

The loudspeaker units have been teamed up with a single M-75 compression driver and purpose-designed
injected aluminum high frequency waveguide to provide unmatched performance, sensitivity and coverage in the
formats offered.

The EVENT-212A line array incorporates the DAScontrol™ interface which offers a quick and hassle-free set-up
of the systems in arrays and easy alignment with the EVENT-218A and EVENT-121A subwoofer systems. Presets for
the number of units of the array, HF compensation for throw distances, and correction for the splay angle of the array
can be selected by way of DAScontrol™ and the LCD screen on the located on the back of the cabinet.

EVENT-121A

– Active direct radiating rear-loaded subwoofer system
– 1 x 21″, 21LFN, neodymium loudspeaker
– 3200Wpeak – 1600 Wcontinuous
– Class D amplifier and digital signal processing (DSP)
– Two balanced inputs with stereo filtered output
connections
– Variable low-pass filter 63 Hz-100 Hz
– Top located pole mount socket for TRD-6 optional pole
mount
– Rear located wheels to ease transport
– Top grade Birch cabinet construction
– Durable ISO-flex finish

EVENT-121A

The EVENT-121A is a direct radiating rear-loaded powered subwoofer system which incorporates a single 21″
neodymium loudspeaker providing “earth-moving” low-frequency reproduction for the Event Series line arrays. The
combination of direct radiation and rear-loading provides a high output, tight and accurate sub-bass response.

The EVENT-121A employs the new 21LFN loudspeaker which offers impressive features such as a 4″ sandwich
split winding voice coil, a powerful FEA optimized neodymium magnet assembly and a FEA optimized suspension
system with double silicon spider. The result is a loudspeaker with exceptional sensitivity, high power handling
capacity and a quality suspension design capable of withstanding the stress and mechanical fatigue of today´s high­power pro audio systems. An aluminum demodulating ring benefits lower distortion and effective forced ventilation of
the voice coil gap provides for a high thermal rating, and reduced power compression.

The EVENT-121A electronics package includes a 3200 Wpeak Class D amplifier and 24-bit high-end DSP for top
quality audio reproduction. On the rear panel, controls can be found for gain, polarity and a continually variable low­pass filter which ranges from 63 Hz to 100 Hz. A unique “cardioid preset” button simplifies the use of subs in cardioid
configurations, making setup of two to three units a snap without the need for an external DSP. The EVENT-121A is
phase response coherent with the EVENT-208A, EVENT-210A and EVENT-212A active tops offering precise
alignment. Two balanced inputs with stereo filtered outputs which can be switched to pass-through connections are
provided.

ON / OFF

A sound system should be switched on
sequentially. Switch on the self-powered units last
in your sound system (switch on the subwoofer
before the mid-high system). Switch on the sound
sources such as CD players or turntables, then the
mixer, then the processors, and finally the self­powered 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.

Disconnect the device by removing the mains
connector from the mains socket. The mains
connector and mains socket must always be freely
accessible and never covered or blocked in any
way.
The models use a power cable equipped with
a Neutrik PowerCon NC3FCA connector. Power
can be daisy chained via the NC3FCB output
connector (see details on product label).

IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect the unit
while in use.
Ensure that the device is disconnected from
the mains by observing that the ON LED is turned
off. Please note that the ON LED can stay on for
several seconds after the mains power has been
disconnected.

Normally it is enough just to let the unit cool
down after you have corrected the problem so that
the system functions properly again.

Keep grilles clean and dust-free.

Air circulates from the bottom to the top of the
amplifier.

Overload indicator

This device has an indicator (LIMIT LED) that
lights when the signal is excessive.
The indicator should not be lit continuously.
This distorts the signal (quickly fatiguing your ears)
and may damage the speakers. Therefore, it is
recommended that you never work with this LED
on; at most it should blink only occasionally.

Equalisation

The unit does not need extreme settings of
equalisation to produce quality sound. Avoid high
levels of gain on the equalisers. Gain values above
+3 dB on a console’s EQ are not recommended.

Overheating

This equipment does not normally overheat
during normal conditions of use. When overheating
occurs, the unit protects itself. You should then
find out why and if necessary contact an
authorised dealer for technical assistance.

Low mains voltage

If mains voltage falls below the shutdown
voltage for the unit, it will stop playing. When
acceptable levels are regained, the unit will switch
back on automatically.

Therefore the current consumed by a 115V

RIGGING SYS TEM

Warning

This manual offers all the necessary
information for flying or stacking Event Line
Array series systems of DAS Audio. This
information is illustrated with drawings and
required safety precautions.

To any operations related to flying a
system, read the present document first and
act on the warnings and advice given. The
goal is to 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
teardown.

Only experienced installers with adequate
knowledge of the equipment and local safety
regulations should fly speaker boxes. It is the
user´s responsibility to ensure that the
systems to be flown (including flying
accessories) comply with state and local
regulations.

The working load limits in this manual are
th e results of tests by indepen dent
laboratories. It is the user´s responsibility to
follow and comply with safety factors,
resistance values, periodical supervisions
and warnings given in this manual. Product
improvement by means of research and
development is on going at DAS Audio Group,
S.L. Specifications are subject to change
without notice.

It is common practice to apply 5:1 safety
factors for enclosures and static elements.
For slings and elements exposed to material
fatigue due to friction and load variation the
following ratios must be met; 5:1 for steel
clable slings; 4:1 for steel chain slings and 7:1
for polyester slings. Thus, an element with a
breaking load limit of 1000 kg may be statically
loaded with 200 kg (5:1 safety factor) and
dynamically loaded with 142 kg (7:1 safety
factor).

When a system is flying, the working load
must be lower than the resistance of each
individual flying point in the enclosure, as well
as each box. Hanging hardware should be
regularly inspected and suspect units
replaced if in doubt. This is important to avoid
injury and absolutely no risks should be taken
in this respect. It is highly recommended that
yo u im p le m e n t an i n s p ec t i o n an d
maintenance program on flying elements,
including reports to be filled out by the
personnel that will carry out the inspections.
Local regulations may exist that, in case of
accident, may require you to prevent evidence
of inspection reports and corrective actions
after defects were found.

Absolutely no risks should be taken with
regards to public safety.

When flying enclosures from ceiling support
structures, extreme care should be taken to
assure the load bearing capabilities of the
structures so that the installation is absolutely
safe. Do not fly enclosures from unsafe
structures. Consult a certified professional if
needed. All flying accessories that are not
supplied by DAS Audio are the user´s
responsibility. Use at your own risk.

4 units mounting on a flatbed dolly

Groups of three or four units are easy to
transport by truck as we will see in this manual. We
will also see the preparation with EVENT-212A (it’s
similar with EV ENT-212.120A). But, such an
extensive explanation isn’t required for EVENT­121A, as this model can be used only in stacked
systems lacking a rigging system (stacking up to 2
units on a PL-EV121S).

Once the packaging is removed, you can see
three security pins on both enclosure sides (see
figure), near the handles.

Now, you remove two security pins (see the red
arrows in the Fig.1), on each side.

The top of platform P L-EV212S must be
removed now (Fig.2, Fig.3 and Fig.4), We will save
the pins and the top to place it at the end.

Lift the enclosure by the handles and sit it gently
over the platform (Fig.5), aligning the holes for pins
as shown in Fig.3.

Now, we insert the previously removed pins (the
result is shown in Fig.6).

Warning: For transport, introduce the pin in
hole 0º at “Rear Link" (both sides).

Now, once the first enclosure is placed on the
platform, we will place the second.

To do this, previously we will lift the guides of
both sides as indicated in Fig.7 (arrows in gray).
Keep in mind that while the front is blocked (you will
hear a "click" when blocked), the back will not.

We remo ve the pin that r emains i n the
enclosure and insert them into the "Fix angle" hole
that corresponds to 0º (it is mandatory for a safe
transport), as shown in Fig.8 (in red).

The result, as can be seen in Fig.9, is a group on
which we can place the second enclosure in a
similar way as we have done with the first on the
platform (dashed red line in Fig10).

This figure also shows the movements of the
safety pins to join the enclosures (red arrows in
Fig10).

front rods as shown in Fig.7.

Now we will lift the rear rod but we will put the
"Fix Angle" pin in 7º, we will put the top of the
platform that we had removed at the beginning with
the same pins, as shown in Fig.11.

Array mounting of groups of 4 units on a flatbed dolly

Groups of three or four units are easy to transport by truck.

We will see in this section the assembly of a system array with groups of four units.

The first group with 4 units will be the superior
group, that is to say, the group where we will install
the AX-EV212.

To assemble the AX, we will remove the top and
we will save it and these pins.

Next, we will change the “Fix Angle” at 0º
(Fig.13).

Now, we will assemble the lateral pieces (the
pieces of AX with the silkscreen visible from the
side). We will insert the security pins as shown
Fig.14.

Warning: Verify the correct installation of
the security pins. These pins will support the
inferior load.

Moreover, we will join the Pick Up with the lift
motor. If we use two lift motors, we will use a second
Pick Up (Fig.15).

With the help of the Ease Focus software, we
can determine which point is the correct one to join
the side pieces (Fig.16) with the Pick Up, with the
help of the security pins.

If we use two lift motors, we will use a second
Pick Up which joins through the same way to the
pinpoint marked by Ease Focus.

Warning: Verify the correct installation of
the security pins. These pins will support the
inferior load.

Manual del Usuario / event series / User’s Manual

25

Now we will proceed to assign the angles to each enclosure.
With the help of the Ease Focus program we will know what angle corresponds to each enclosure to obtain
an array with the desired response. This process is similar for all the enclosures starting from the second with
respect to the first, and similar to the angulation of enclosures of other models.
First we remove the pin of "Rear Link" from the enclosure attached to the AX and we will lift to easily change
the angle rod in "Fix angle" (Fig.17 and Fig.18).

Fig.17 Fig.18

Now we will go down until support the set again, and place the "Rear Link" pin (Fig. 19).
This process will continue until all the enclosures have been angled. And finally, the platform will be
removed by placing the lid on it again and holding it with its pins.

Remove the platform

Fig.19

Fig.20

Next, we will place another group of enclosures underneath to continue joining enclosures, and we will
repeat the process of angulation of enclosures one by one as indicated above.
As a result we will have the array with the desired angles and that we had obtained with Ease Focus.

Combination with other models and stacking systems

To be able to combine EVENT-212A (or EVENT-212,120A), with EVENT-208A (or EVENT-210A) one of
these accessories is needed: AX-COMBOEV1208 to combine EVENT-212A (or EVENT-212,120A), with
EVENT- 208A and AX-COMBOEV1210 to combine EVENT-212A (or EVENT-212,120A), with EVENT­210A.

First, the assembly of the combo will be done on the group of enclosures of smaller width (Fig.21 and
Fig.22), either EVENT-208A or EVENT-210A, and then, it will be joined to the array of the EVENT-212A (or
EVENT-212,120A) as if it were one more unit of EVENT-212A, because the width already coincides, leaving
the grouping as shown in Fig.23.

AX-COMBOEV1208

Fig.21

AX-COMBOEV1210

The rear pins must
be inserted inside
the Combo.

The angle that we can
choose between the Combo
and the first enclosure of
the lower group can be
from 0º to 10º, as between
two enclosures of that array group.

27

The platform PL-EV212S has more a mission of transport of units (maximum 4 units), than for a stacked
use as such, since the angulation of the boxes could make the whole unstable and makes its use for stacked
systems not recommendable.
On the other hand the PL-EV121S does not have this problem and could be used both for transport and for
stacked use, provided that the number of 2 units of EVENT-121A is not exceeded, at most (Note: the box is
stacked sideways on the platform.).

ANNEX : 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. 3
pin connector such as XLR (Cannon) may also carry unbalanced signals if one of the pins is unused.

Balanced line: Utilising a three conductor cable, one of them acts as a shield against electromagnetic noise
and is the ground conductor. The other two have the same voltage with respect to the ground conductor but
with opposite signs. The noise that cannot be rejected by the shield affects both signal conductors in the same
way. At the device’s input the two signals get summed with opposite sign, so that noise is cancelled out while
the programme signal doubles in level. Most professional audio devices use balanced inputs and outputs.
Connectors that can carry balanced signal have three pins, such as XLR (Cannon) and ¼” (6.35mm) stereo.

The graphs that follow show the recommended connection with different types of connectors to balanced
processor or amplifier inputs. The connectors on the left-hand side come from a signal source, and the ones on
the right hand side go to the inputs of the processor or amplifier. Note that on the unbalanced connectors on the
left-hand side, two terminals are joined inside the connector. If hum occurs with balanced to balanced
connections, try disconnecting the sleeve (ground) on the input connector. Note that the illustrations show
what should be connected to what, but that pin locations on an actual XLR connector are different. Also, pin 2
hot is assumed on XLR connectors.
