Normal Method: This method is for installing DSA loudspeakers flush-mounted to a vertical wall surface using the supplied brackets. The installation instructions herein apply to this installation method.

Optional Normal Method: This method is for suspending DSA loudspeakers. The optional DSA Fly-Bar Kit is required for suspension. For suspending more than one loudspeaker from a single Fly-Bar, the optional Enclosure Connecting Kit is also required. These accessories are supplied with complete instructions for their use.

Alternate Methods: In some applications, the DSA loudspeakers may require suspension or other methods of installation. Please contact EAW for assistance when the normal method cannot be used. (See Section 7.3)

Orient each enclosure in the cluster as shown in the DSAPilot diagrams according to the location of the Signal End with the LED.

1.Vertical Angle: Normally, the DSA Series enclosures are designed to be mounted flat to a vertical surface.

2.Horizontal Angle Single Loudspeakers: When mounted flat to a vertical surface, the mounting hardware allows the enclosures to be rotated up to +/-15° degrees horizontally, 0° being perpendicular to the wall surface. This allows directing its fixed 120° horizontal coverage anywhere within a 150° arc around the front of the loudspeaker.

3.Horizontal Angle Over/Under Loudspeakers: Always align over/under enclosures so they are aimed in the same direction.

4.Horizontal Angle Side-by-Side Loudspeakers: These clusters cannot be rotated horizontally. Always position the DSA250 and DSA230 loudspeakers for these clusters so that their aiming axes are perpendicular to the mounting surface.

DSA250 & DSA230 specifications

The EAW DSA250 and DSA230 are state-of-the-art powered loudspeakers designed for professional audio applications, offering high performance in a variety of environments. Both models deliver exceptional sound quality, ensuring clear audio reproduction for live events, installations, and portable use.

The EAW DSA250 features a robust bi-amplified design with a powerful 2500 watts of peak power output. This loudspeaker is equipped with a custom-designed 15-inch woofer, delivering deep and impactful low frequencies. Additionally, it boasts a 1.4-inch titanium compression driver that provides smooth mids and crisp highs, ensuring a well-balanced sound profile across the frequency spectrum.

On the other hand, the EAW DSA230 is engineered for similar high-performance needs but comes with a slightly more compact design. The DSA230 incorporates a 12-inch woofer, which still produces rich low-end sound, making it ideal for smaller venues or for use as a stage monitor. It features a 1-inch compression driver, which provides excellent vocal clarity and intelligibility.

Both models are equipped with advanced digital signal processing (DSP), allowing for optimized performance through precise loudspeaker modeling. The DSP offers various preset configurations tailored to different acoustic environments, allowing users to select the ideal settings for their specific applications. Additionally, the built-in EQ settings facilitate precise sound tuning, enabling users to adapt to various challenges presented by live sound environments.

One standout feature of the DSA series is the integration of the EAW FOCUS technology, which ensures consistent coverage and dynamic response across wide areas. This innovative technology also helps to minimize feedback and interference, making it a reliable choice for both performers and audio engineers.

The construction of both models is rugged, designed to withstand the rigors of touring while maintaining a professional appearance. They come with a sleek and practical enclosure design, featuring convenient mounting options for versatile deployment.

In summary, the EAW DSA250 and DSA230 loudspeakers are exemplary examples of advanced audio engineering, combining powerful amplification, precise DSP management, and robust build quality.
