In order to avoid noise or hum, and protect the input/output stage of the systems electronics from serious
damage, proper grounding connections of all the components of the system are required. Connect the
components making sure that AC line polarity is maintained, and that all grounds are connected to a common
grounding point using the same gauge cable as the neutral and line cables.
D.A.S. recommends that before powering up any D.A.S. system, test the mains making sure that the voltage
potential difference between the neutral and ground does not exceed 5 VAC.
Introduction
The A50rack is a rugged touring rack that includes
power amplifiers, processors, power distro, input
patch panel and output patch panel for the aero 50
line array systems.
There are two different options for the A50rack.
Option1 (A50rack_1) is assembled with 3 x DAS
Audio D-100 four channel amps and a DAS Audio
DSP-2060A.
The D-100 amplifier is a 4 channel class D
switching power supply amplifier of 2800W per
channel.
In Rack Option 2 (A50rack_2) comprised by 6 x
PowerSoft K-6DSP AESOP amplifiers.
The K-6 DSP includes its own DSP and is a class D
switching power supply 2 channel amp. Power per
channel is 3600W@2ohm.
Input patch panels have 2 or 3 (depending on the
option) input connectors to create separated zones
in the array.
In rack option 1 the output panel of the rack is
always composed of three Speakon NL 8
connectors which will power up to two aero 50 each
one working at 4ohm and up to 4 aero 50 (2ohm
load) in the powersoft case, in rack option 2.
The aero 50 is a three way large format line array
system to be used for live sound applications.
Two 15” loudspeakers with neodymium magnet
assemblies reproduce the Low Frequency range.
Four 8” loudspeakers with neodymium magnet
assemblies reproduce the Mid Frequency range.
Two 3” coil neodymium compression drivers with
1.5” exit reproduce the High Frequency range.
The system has been designed to have a nominal
Horizontal coverage of 90º. In the coupling plane
(vertical) the coverage depends on the frequency
and the splay angles between cabinets, as it is a
true line array system.
To ensure the performance of the system and the
uniformity of the horizontal and vertical dispersion
X-over points must not be changed.
A family of locked presets is provided for different
DSP platforms; DAS DSP-2060A and 4080 and
Lake LM-26 / PLM / K-6 amplifiers.
DAS Audio offers racks with amplifiers and
processors. The processors in the racks adjust the
levels between the ways (LF, MF, HF), the
crossover points, delays and Eqs. These settings
must remain without any variation to ensure the
optimal acoustical performance of the system. (this
is the main reason why they are locked).
Besides basic parametres, inside the processors
clip and rms limiters are set up.
The system´s reliability and dynamic range are
determined by the rms and clip limiter thresholds.
Don´t vary them.

The presets
The family of presets available for the three main
different platforms (DAS DSP-2060A/4080,
PowerSoft K-6, Lake Lm26 / PLM) is based on a flat
frequency response of a single aero 50 cabinet. For
updates check the DAS Audio website (aero 50
related downloads).
www.dasaudio.com/en/p/aero-50-2/
Type B: to be used at the FOH DSP-4080
processor. The preset will compensate the array effect
and the number of cabinets used.
These presets will be named as follows:
A50Vx.y 8U
A50Vx.y 10U
A50Vx.y 12U
For instance:
A50V52 16U
preset version
Number of Units
For DAS DSP-2060A and 4080 the presets are
available in AudioCore .xaa format.
http://www.dasaudio.com/DOCUMENTOS_D/SOFT
WARE/AUDIOCORE_V871.ZIP
For the Powersoft K-6 DSP amplifiers presets are
available in Armonia format.
http://www.powersoftaudio.com/en/support/armonia-supportforum.html
For the Lake LM26 /PLM amplifiers, presets are
available in .csm lake format.
http://labgruppen.com/support/software_firmware/
Different High Pass X-overs for the LF are
provided; (a) 45Hz to be used as a full range
system without subs, and (b) with cut at 80Hz to be
used with LX-218C (or CA) subs.
Besides the High Pass X-overs presets are
available for long (LT), mid (MT)and short throw
(ST) zones in the array. To achieve a uniform sound
pressure level across the distance and optimal
acoustical performance a line array system has to
be managed in groups of cabinets with different
presets. For instance the four bottom cabinets
should have to be treated as the downfill or short
throw of the system.
There will be two different types of presets:
Type A: presets to be used in the rack processors
to define all the settings in one cabinet.
Presets for all these platforms: DSP-2060A, LM26
and K6DSP.
Presets will be named as follows:
A50Vx.y LT
A50Vx.y MT
A50Vx.y ST
For instance: A50V5.4 ST
preset version
Long, Mid or Short Throw

press menu -->enter--> global memory-->enter-->recall a memory->enter-->Crossover-->enter and select the desired one.
All the previous listed presets or memories on the DSP-2060A are
X-over type.
- When the DSP is connected to a computer using AudioCore
software, to recall a memory (once the communication between
DSP and computer has been stablished) just do right click on the
DSP main window:
- When the DSP is connected to the computer but is
not including factory presets just connect the unit to
the computer and open the desired audioCore file. For
example open A50V55 LT+MT.xaa
Next step, click On Line and send Settings to the unit.
Once the unit (DSP) has the preset loaded the user
can store it via software or via front panel.
Example: a system with 12 aero 50 per side with 3
different signal groups would be configured as
follows:
LT

A50rack - 7
K-6 DSP amplifiers, presets will be named as follows:
A50Vx.y Low -Low
A50Vx.y Mid-High MT
A50Vx.y Mid-High LT
A50Vx.y Mid-High ST
Due to the configuration of the power supply of the amps, Powersoft warns that
both output channels must have a close to identical charge at output stage, since
unbalanced charge will cause problems of excessive temperature rise. We
recommend to follow next arrangement to the amplifier racks and cabling.
Each pack of 2 K6 DSP (LOW-LOW-MID-HIGH) is able to manage up to
4 Aero50 creating a 2 Ohm load configuration.
Since Armonía version 2.3.1, we are able to upload a preset directly from the software by right clicking on the desired amp.
This could be faster but it will not save the preset into the DSP memories.
In order to be able of changing between different types of throws provided by DAS Aero50v5.5 Presets, we recommend the
use of the PRESET MANAGER tab in armonía (A), using the PLST file (B) you can “broadcast” the whole preset family for
all connected amps by one single click (C).
WARNING: Make sure you have muted or unplugged the whole system speakers before doing this, since after spreading
all presets the amps will take number 1 to use, being this one the LOW-LOW this can cause serious damage to high drivers.
A50rack - 8
After armonía loads all presets (this can take a while) you can load the desired preset on each amplifier by doing right
click on it and selecting from “Preset-->Recall” or either disconnect from the Net, and recall desired preset form the
front panel of each Amplifier by “Local Presets” menu.

The use of a DSP-4080 at FOH is mandatory to
correct this effect (low an mid range coupling) and
to have different sends to the PA (long throw, mid
