The acoustical reference point for the DSAPilot is the geometric center of the cluster, which is halfway between the top of the top enclosure to the bottom of the bottom enclosure. That means for a steering angle of 0 degrees “on-axis” is the physical center of the cluster. The elevation entered into DSAPilot refers to this point. This means that if an elevation is entered that is less than half the height of the cluster, it will go “through the floor” in the software.

For installation purposes, the mounting height of the bottom enclosure in a cluster will be the cluster elevation as entered in DSAPilot minus one-half the total physical height of the cluster

DANGER: Only persons with the knowledge of proper hardware and installation techniques required should attempt to install DSA Series loudspeaker systems overhead. Failure to follow this precaution may result in damage to the equipment, injury, or death.

The supplied Wall Brackets are designed for attachment of the loud- speaker enclosure to a wall or other vertical surface. Ensure both the attachment hardware and the architectural structure are capable of sup- porting the load with a design factor that meets applicable building codes.

Weights:

DSA230 63 lb / 28.6 kg

DSA250 90 lb / 40.0 kg

1.Using the supplied Wall Bracket Mounting Template or exact measurements, locate the four mounting points required to attach each supplied Wall Bracket to the supporting structure. Mounting templates are provided on the shipping-carton and CD-ROM. A bracket template is shown in chapter 9. Ensure that these mounting points are plumb and square to each other so the enclosure will be exactly vertical when installed. Being out of plumb and/or square can prevent them from properly engaging the Enclosure Brackets attached to the enclosure.

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.
