DAS Audio Introduces SARA and SARA-SUB

In the demanding world of professional audio, having an efficient and versatile line array system is crucial to achieving exceptional acoustic performance. In this regard, DAS Audio has introduced an innovative solution with its new SARA system, specifically designed to meet the specific needs of touring sound and medium-sized events.

Exceptional quality with 138 dB SPL: Crystal-clear sound guaranteed

The great advantage of the SARA line array system is its ability to deliver a maximum sound pressure level of 138 dB SPL, ensuring crystal-clear and sharp sound even in demanding environments. This power translates not only into volume but also into impressive auditory precision that allows the full enjoyment of live music and speeches.

Thanks to its high dynamic sound range, SARA offers balanced and homogeneous reproduction that maintains acoustic quality intact from the front rows to the farthest seats. This uniformity is essential at events where clarity and sound quality are top priorities.

Advanced symmetrical design with 8-inch speakers

The heart of the SARA system lies in its carefully selected components. It integrates two custom-made 8-inch front speakers that work together to produce mid and low frequencies in a balanced and powerful way. Complementing this structure, it incorporates a compression driver dedicated to high frequencies, equipped with an advanced waveguide that offers a constant 100-degree horizontal dispersion.

These speakers are fundamental to achieving coherent and detailed sound quality, making every transmitted note or word clear and defined.

Power and efficiency with Class D amplifiers

One of the most outstanding features of the SARA line array is its amplification technology. Equipped with Class D amplifiers, this system provides up to 3000W RMS distributed across four channels, ensuring energy and thermal efficiency during long working days.

The amplifiers operate in a dual-bridge scheme: two channels directly power the compression driver, while the other two feed the 8-inch speakers. This allows for precise and efficient sound energy management, minimizing losses and maximizing performance.

Quick setup with the FSS rigging system

DAS Audio understands that in tours and events, time is money. That’s why the FSS (Fast Set Splay) mounting system allows angle adjustments in one-degree increments from its initial stacked position, significantly simplifying assembly and disassembly. With this technology, it’s possible to install arrays of up to 24 SARA units and 16 SARA-SUB units quickly and safely, making it ideal for tours and live events.

Cardioid subwoofer SARA-SUB: Controlled low-frequency power

Complementing the SARA line array system, DAS Audio has developed the cardioid SARA-SUB subwoofer, optimized to produce deep bass directed towards the audience, minimizing rear radiation by up to 14 dB. This subwoofer integrates an 18-inch neodymium transducer and a 15-inch transducer, specially configured to provide powerful and defined bass.

This cardioid design not only enhances the audience’s listening experience but also reduces stage interference, ensuring a controlled and comfortable environment for musicians and technicians.

Advanced technology: FIR filters and ALMA digital control

SARA is more than just power and physical design; it incorporates the most advanced digital technology available. The system uses FIR filters with 1024 taps, offering precise atmospheric correction and specific adjustments through the DASaim function, thus achieving an exceptionally uniform acoustic response.

Additionally, integration with ALMA software facilitates real-time system monitoring via IP communication, allowing fine adjustments to the global equalizer without the need for external processors. This digital solution ensures total and simplified control of the live system.

Perfect integration within the ARA family

SARA not only stands out on its own but is designed to integrate perfectly within the ARA family of systems, maintaining tonal balance and phase coherence with its larger sibling, LARA. This makes it an ideal option for applications such as frontfills, sidefills, and delays in touring setups.

Its compact design also makes it the perfect choice for limited spaces, without compromising audio quality or power.

Applications of the self-powered SARA line array system

The versatility and performance of the SARA system make it the ideal choice for a wide range of professional applications, including:

Medium-sized events and concerts.
Fixed installations in auditoriums, theaters, or conference halls.
Corporate events requiring clear and defined sound.
Festivals and tours seeking quick and efficient setup.

With the launch of SARA, DAS Audio strengthens its reputation in the professional audio industry by offering a system that combines power, sound quality, and ease of use in a compact format. Both technicians and end users will find in SARA a robust and efficient solution that more than meets the highest expectations of the professional market.

This self-powered line array system represents an evolution in professional sound, ensuring exceptional acoustic results with cutting-edge technology adapted to today’s market needs.
