Introduction

The Digitally Steerable DSA Series Arrays represents EAW’s latest innovation in advanced, acoustic modeling and applied technology in designing loudspeakers. The DSA250 full-range and DSA230 voice-only or low frequency system are small format, column-type loudspeaker systems with a user-variable vertical beamwidth. The easy-to-use DSAPilot software allows accurate adjustment of the loudspeaker’s coverage area from a fixed, vertical mounting location. In addition to excellent vocal performance, the DSA Series is fully capable of full-range music applications. With integral signal processing and amplification, DSA loudspeakers are economical and simple to use.

This manual provides information about the design, configuration, and operation of DSA Series loudspeakers. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the DSAPilot Windows®-based software.

Please thoroughly familiarize yourself with this manual. The more you learn and understand about the DSA Series the easier you will find it to use. This is not so much because of any inherent complexities, but because it is actually easier to use than most. As such, it can take some experience with the system to establish comfort with and appreciation of both its versatility and inherent simplicity.
