DAS Audio Altea-408A 8-inch, 400W Active Full Range Speaker
Product no: 9000-0127-4102 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Built for venues and events in need of a compact yet powerful all-rounder of a full-range speaker, the active DAS Audio Altea-408A doesn't just bring the goods, but comes supported by an integrated Class-D amplifier complete with SMPS for a total peak output of 800 Watts. Built using high-quality components, including an 8GV speaker for the lower frequencies and an M-32 compression driver for the trebles, this model reproduces audio with crystal clarity and formidable power. Add that to the 70Hz to 20kHz frequency range and 123 decibel peak SPL, and you have a speaker that's able to tackle any application.

Versatility & Ease-of-Use

The DAS Audio Altea-408A has been designed from the ground up to maximise flexibility. The polypropylene housing has a convenient trapezoid shape, so this model can just as easily serve as a floor monitor as well as a standard PA speaker. Access and adjust the built-in 24-bit DSP via the integrated LCD display and easily calibrate the performance via the provided pre-tuned presets, including Live, Dance, Vocals, Bass Boost and Vocals & Mode. In addition to all of that, the three-band EQ and standby-mode offer deeper control and increased efficiency, making the Altea-408A a reliable choice for any audio professional.

Flexible Installation Options

The Altea-408A doesn't just bring power and versatility, but is also easily installed via the pre-fitted M8 rigging points. The compact dimensions measure just 48cm wide, 28cm long and 26cm deep, and the whole thing weighs just 9.5 kilos - all in aid of easy loading and positioning. This flexible model can also be hooked up in various different configurations, all thanks to the fitted set of two F-XLR ports, the 3.5mm mini-jack AUX input and the M-XLR loop-thru port.
