4.3 Applications
The DSA Series provides a significant advance for cost-effective
implementation of line array technology in a variety of applications. As is
typical for line arrays, the DSA Series is an excellent choice for voice-only
applications. However, unlike typical voice-only line arrays, the DSA Series
can also provide the wide frequency range, fidelity, and output levels
needed for excellent music reproduction. This significantly extends its
range of applications to a wide range of venue types including theaters,
theme parks, retail spaces, and government facilities. Its unique
capabilities, however, make it particularly well suited to applications that
present a challenging acoustical, physical, or aesthetic environment.
The DSA Series is ideal for a variety of venues where achieving good vocal
intelligibility is critical. These include theatres, auditoria, houses of
worship, theme parks, retail spaces, government facilities, lecture halls,
large conference rooms, museums, and shopping malls. It can solve
acoustically difficult challenges in reverberant environments such as
cathedrals, concert halls, ballrooms, rail/air/sea terminals, large lobbies,
and athletic buildings. Its low profile further enhances its applicability in
aesthetically sensitive environments.
Designers can use DSA loudspeakers in a variety of factory-supported DSA
cluster configurations to meet specific output or directivity needs. For
voice-only applications, single DSA250 loudspeakers can be placed to
provide adequate output and horizontal coverage. In these cases, designers
enjoy control of the vertical pattern throughout the vocal range. For
broadband music reproduction, the addition of a DSA230 to each DSA250
will extend pattern control well into the LF range and provide additional
LF output.
Although the DSA Series is not specifically outfitted for outdoor
installations, its exterior components are inherently weather-resistant. If
suitably protected from direct exposure to weather, permanent outdoor
installation is possible, though is not recommended.
