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 high-power 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 low-pass 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 self-powered 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.

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.

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.

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 version is double the 230V version to achieve the same acoustic power level.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM	CAUSE	SOLUTION
No sound from the unit. The SIGNAL LED does not light up.	1 - The signal source is sending no signal.2 - Defective cable.	1 - Check that the mixer or sound source is sending signal to the UNIT.2 - Check that the cable from the sound source to the UNIT is connected correctly. Replace the cable if defective.
Full power cannot be obtained. The LIMIT LED never lights up.	1 - The signal source does not have a hot enough output.2 - The amplifier has overheated.	1 - If you use a mixer, be sure to use the balanced output if you have it. Use a professional mixer or signal source with more output level.2 - Try to cool the unit by lowering the level of the mixer. You can add an HPF to lower the temperature in low (cut at 100Hz, for example)
Sound is distorted. The LIMIT LED is not on, or only lights up occasionally.	The mixer or signal source is distorting.	Turn mixer channel gains down. Check that none of your signal sources are distorting.
Sound is distorted and very loud and LIMIT LED lights up.	The system is overloaded and has reached maximum power.	Turn down the mixer's output.
Hum or buzz when a mixer is connected to the unit.	1.- The console probably has unbalanced outputs. You may be using an incorrect unbalanced balanced cable.2.- The mixer and the powered speaker are not plugged into the same mains outlet.3.- The audio signal cable is too long or too close to an AC cable	1.- Read the appendix of this manual to make a correct un-balanced to balanced cable.2.- Connect the mixer and the unit to the same mains outlet.3.- Use a cable that is as short as possible and/or move the audio signal cable away from mains cables.
Hum or buzz when using lighting controls in the same building.	1.- The audio signal cable is too long or too close to the lighting cable.2.- On a sound system with three-phase AC, the lighting equipment and the UNIT are connected to the same phase.	1.- Move the audio signal cable away from lighting cables. Try to find out at what point the noise is leaking into the system.2.- Connect the sound system to a different phase than the lights. You may need the help of an electrician.
The ON LED does not light up when the mains connector is connected and the unit is switched to ON.	1.- Bad or loose AC connection to the UNIT or the mains outlet.2 - Faulty AC cable.3 - Blown Fuse.4 - The mains voltage is out of range.	1.- Check your connections.2.- Check the cables, connectors and AC power with a suitable mains tester.3.- Replace the blown fuse for another of the same type and size.4.- If the multimeter determines that the mains voltage is out the range, you may need the assistance of an electrician to find an appropriate solution.

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 the results of tests by independent 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 you implement an inspection and 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 EVENT-212.120A). But, such an extensive explanation isn't required for EVENT-121A, 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 PL-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 0° at "Rear Link" (both sides).

"Rear Link" at 0°

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 remove the pin that remains in the enclosure and insert them into the "Fix angle" hole that corresponds to 0^ (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).

Warning: The pins in "Rear Link" and "Fix Angle" must be in the 0° hole for transport, always.

The process can be repeated until reaching the fourth and last enclosure of the group, to lift the front rods as shown in Fig.7.

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

The complete group of 4 units is as shown in Fig.12.

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 0° (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.

Note that the first enclosure, the one that joins the AX, has an assigned angle of 0^ (the safety pin in "Fix Angle" is in the 0 position).

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).

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

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 EVENT- 210A.

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.

Fig.22 Fig.23

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.).

The accessory AXS-EV212 is a platform that allows the stacking of the EVENT-212A and EVENT-212.120A, provided that the maximum number of 4 units is not exceeded, and provided they are properly joined with straps to the EVENT-218A, on those that will be stacked, allowing a simple angulation (see the examples in the lower images).

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 14 " (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 1/4" (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.
