INTRODUCTION
VANTEC-20A
Active Curved Source Line Array
Class D Bi-amplified 1500 Wpeak
FIR filters for linear phase response
1 x DAS 12F4C + 2 x M-60 compression drivers
Compact design with high output capabilities
DAScontrol™ with presets and configurations
DASlink™ wireless streaming and remote control
+/- 13.5º variable tilt pole mount
The VANTEC-20A is an active curved source line array that incorporates an arsenal of hi-tech solutions designed to
provide the versatility needed by today’s sound hire professionals. Whether it be stacked on the VANTEC-118A
companion subwoofer, flown in a compact array, or used alone on a speaker stand, the VANTEC-20A can be used
effectively in an incredible number of applications that include corporate A/V, mid-size sound reinforcement, and
permanent installation.
Designed for use in arrays of up to 5 units, the VANTEC-20A is ideal for applications where the power and long-throw
characteristics of large line arrays are not needed. Individual units can be mounted on tripods with precise aiming
possible thanks to the variable angle pole mount which allows for 13.5º up or down tilt.
The DAScontrol™ interface allows users to easily configure the VANTEC-20A systems for use individually or in
combination with other units. Selectable high pass filter presets facilitate alignment with the VANTEC-18A and VANTEC-
118A active bass systems without external processing. Throw compensation settings and array size selection can all
be handled simply via the DAScontrol™ interface. When the VANTEC-20A is used individually, the DASlink™ APP can be
used to stream music in high definition stereo and remotely control the systems functions.
The enclosure is manufactured using Baltic birch plywood and finished with the DAS ISO-flex coating. Power is
supplied by a cutting-edge 1500 Wpeak Class D amplifier in a biamplified configuration driving a single DAS 12F4C
loudspeaker and twin M-60 compression drivers.
Features
The VANTEC-20A and VANTEC-118A, powered multifunction systems combine DAS´s reputation for performance
and reliability with the latest technological innovations offering users an unmatched level of versatility. The
exceptional characteristics of the onboard amplification, complex waveguide design and digital signal processing
provide the output and control required, allowing the vantec series to be deployed as a main system or in any
number of support applications. The easy-to-use rigging hardware and range of mounting accessories expand the
possible applications of the vantec series.

VANTEC-118A
Active front-loaded subwoofer system
1 x 18″ DAS 18FW loudspeaker
Class D amplifier 2000 Wpeak
Digital signal processing (DSP)
Unique “Deep-Loud” bass EQ switch
Variable low-pass filter 80 Hz-125 Hz
LED ON/OFF switch on backplate
Top located pole mount socket
The VANTEC-118A is an active front loaded bass system
which has been designed specifically for use with the VANTEC-
20A curved source line array. Compact in size, the unit can be
flown in arrays or linked together in ground stacks thanks to
the rigging system which is compatible with the VANTEC-20A.
The electronics package includes a 2000 Wpeak Class D amplifier and 24-bit high-end DSP for exceptional
audio reproduction. A unique “Deep-Loud” EQ switch allows users to tailor the bass output to provide a low
subwoofer type response using the “Deep” setting or a louder hard hitting performance in the “Loud” setting. On
the rear panel, controls can be found for gain, polarity and a continually variable low-pass filter which ranges
from 80 Hz to 125 Hz. The VANTEC-118A is phase response coherent with the other Vantec series active tops such as
the VANTEC-20A offering precise alignment without the need of an external DSP.

By default the state of the parameters shown is the following.
Keep in mind that any parameter changed in the DSP will
remain with the same value until someone changes it again.
The DAS array correction named Number Of Units is a
parameter that compensates the amount of energy in the
low-mid frequency range in the array:
By pressing the encoder (DAScontrol) the user can have
access to the menu:
Rotate the encoder to the desired choice, in this case “No.ofU”
and press to access all the options:
The available options for “No.ofU” are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 depending on
the size of the array. Rotate the encoder to select the option
needed and press again to confirm.
Use the same “Number Of Units” IN ALL the cabinets of your
system!
Once the input source has been connected to the amplifer´s
cabinet, the user has to check the gain structure of the
system.
Adjust level output from your processor and/or mixing
console in order to prevent INPUT CLIP (left signal meter):
As well, try to avoid excessive volume at the amplifier´s
output (right signal meter). Be sure that your gain structure is
adequate and not causing amplifier LIMIT:
Exceeding the limits may
cause damage in the system

ON / OFF
A sound system should be switched on
sequentially. Switch on the self-powered units last
in your sound system (switch on the subwoofer
before the mid-high system). Switch on the sound
sources such as CD players or turntables, then the
mixer, then the processors, and finally the self-
powered unit. If you have several units, it is
recommended t h a t you s w i tch t h em on
sequentially one at a time.
Follow the inverse order when switching off,
turning self-powered units off before any other
element in the sound system.
Disconnect the device by removing the mains
connector from the mains socket. The mains
connector and mains socket must always be freely
accessible and never covered or blocked in any
way. The mains cable can be detached from the
device by disconnecting the standard PowerCon
NC3FCA connector. Always disconnect the device
by removing the mains connector from the mains
socket before detaching the mains cable at the
PowerCon NC3FCA connector.
Power can be daisy chained via the NC3FCB
output connector (see details on product label).
IMPORTANT: Do not disconnect the unit while
in use.
Ensure that the device is disconnected from
the mains by observing that the ON LED is turned
off. Please note that the ON LED can stay on for
several seconds after the mains power has been
disconnected.
Low mains voltage
If mains voltage falls below the shutdown
voltage for the unit, it will stop playing. When
acceptable levels are regained, the unit will switch
back on automatically.
Therefore the current consumed by a 115V
version is double the 230V version to achieve the
same acoustic power level.
Normally it is enough just to let the unit cool
down after you have corrected the problem so that
the system functions properly again.
Overheating
This equipment does not normally overheat
du r i n g n ormal con d i tion s o f us e . W h en
overheating occurs, the unit protects itself. You
should then find out why and if necessary contact
an authorised dealer for technical assistance.
Equalisation
The unit does not need extreme settings of
equalisation to produce quality sound. Avoid high
levels of gain on the equalisers. Gain values above
+3 dB on a console’s EQ are not recommended.
Overload LED indicator (VANTEC-118A)
This device has an indicator (LIMIT LED) that
lights when the signal is excessive.
The indicator should not be lit continuously.
This distorts the signal (quickly fatiguing your ears)
and may damage the speakers. Therefore, it is
recommended that you never work with this LED
on; at most it should blink only occasionally.
Overload Screen indicators ( 20A)VANTEC-
In the main screen when input signal levels are
too high on the left side the meters will display
“input clip”.
If the input levels are in between the limits but
the output level gain is too much the right meter
will display “limit”.

Absolutely no risks should be taken with
regards to public safety. When flying enclosures
from ceiling support structures, extreme care
should be taken to assure the load bearing
capabilities of the structures so that the
installation is absolutely safe. Do not fly enclosures
from unsafe structures. Consult a certified
professional if needed. All flying accessories that
are not supplied by DAS Audio are the user's
responsibility. Use at your own risk.
The DAS VANTEC-20A incorporates structures in
each side of the enclosure. Thess ironworks are
made of steel and aluminum and are fixed with
special screws in the wood side of the two systems.
On each one of these structures there is a steel rod
with a special axis screw which allows to stack or
rig the enclosures. The angles vary from 15º to 15º
with each VANTEC-20A. This system allows for easy
and safe rigging or stacking, with safety pins.
Flyable vantec series models feature internal
steel angles, so that flying points are available.
Eyebolt flying points are factory sealed with M10
screws, which are replaced with eyebolts on the
flying points as required. Flying with eyebolts is
very economical and safe, and is specially
recommended for installations where the boxes
are permanently fixed.
To perform any operations related to flying the
system, read the present document first, and act
on the warnings and advice given. The goal is to
allow the user to become familiar with the
mechanical elements required to fly the acoustic
system, as well as the safety measures to be taken
during set-up and teardown.
Only experienced installers with adequate
knowledge of the equipment and local safety
regulations should fly speaker boxes. It is the user's
responsibility to ensure that the systems to be
flown (including flying accessories) comply with
state and local regulations.
The working load limits in this manual are the
results of tests by independent laboratories. It is
the user's responsibility to stay within safe limits. It
is the user's responsibility to follow and comply
with safety factors, resistance values, periodical
supervisions and warnings given in this manual.
Product improvement by means of research and
development is on going at DAS. Specifications are
subject to change without notice.
It is common practice to apply 5:1 safety factors
for enclosures and static elements. For slings and
elements exposed to material fatigue due to
friction and load variation the following ratios
must be met; 5:1 for steel cable slings, 4:1 for steel
chain slings and 7:1 polyester slings. Thus, an
element with a breaking load limit of 1000 kg may
be statically loaded with 200 kg (5:1 safety factor)
and dynamically loaded with 142 kg (7:1 safety
factor).
When flying a system, the working load must
be lower than the resistance of each individual
flying point in the enclosure, as well as each box.
Hanging hardware should be regularly inspected
and suspect units replaced if in doubt. This is
important to avoid injury and absolutely no risks
should be taken in this respect. It is highly
recommended that you implement an inspection
and maintenance program on flying elements,
including reports to be filled out by the personnel
that will carry out the inspections. Local
regulations may exist that, in case of accident, may
require you to present evidence of inspection
reports and corrective actions after defects were
found.

RIGGING
Warning
20
Please follow the process to attach one box to
another. First, let's look at the sides of the
enclosure that we can see in the figure.
In the figure we can see the safety pin and the
lower trigger. The safety pin is housed in a holder
and the sliding attachment plate is hidden. By
placing the pin in the indicated hole, the enclosure
can be joined with the box directly above by
passing the pin through the orifice in the sliding
attachment plate of the upper box.
This rigging system is compatible with the
VANTEC-118A, making suspension from the VANTEC-
118A easy.
Moving the lower trigger up (1), releases the sliding attachment plate that will fall by its own weight (2).
When the trigger is released, it will return to its original position and the slide will remain fixed (3).
Similarly, to retract the slide we must act on the trigger as in (1) push the slide up (4), and release the
trigger (3).
To attach enclosures, place a VANTEC-20A enclosure with the attachment plates extended upon another
VANTEC-20A. Next, insert the safety pins in the hole and through the orifice of the attachment plates so that the
boxes are joined. The angle between both enclosures will be 15º.
Attention: Make sure the correct insertion of the safety pin.

To unhook the enclosures we will act on the upper pins of the lower box as indicated below:
First we remove the pins (1) on each side. Now, we reposition the pins in the holders (2). We can now
separate the enclosures (3). Finally, we retract the attachment plates as indicated on the previous page.
AX-VT20
The rigging frame AX-VT20 is suitable for hanging a
maximum of 5 units of VANTEC-20A. It has 11 pick-up points
for the lifting slings, numbered from front to back (see
attached figure). To assure the vertical inclination of the
entire column use the Ease Focus software, which will
indicate which holes have to be used. This frame will be
joined to the first box of the column as if it were another
enclosure and will be locked with safety pins. The other
enclosures will be joined below it as indicated.

TRD-2 and TRD-6
The VANTEC-20A unit has a tripod socket on its
underside that allows a box angle between + 25º
and -10º when placed on a TRD-2 tripod or on a TRD-6
pole. It is only possible to use one unit in this way.
The VANTEC-118A and VANTEC-218A enclosures
have a socket for a TRD-6 pole.

PL-VT20S
The PL-VT20S platform with WLL = 90 kgf allows
transport of up to 3 stacked units of VANTEC-20A.
Its stacked configuration requires that the
lower enclosure be secured by safety pins by
inserting the sliding attachment plates into the
slots on the platform. The other boxes will be
joined by using the rigging system.
PL-VT118S
The PL-VT118S platform with WLL = 150 kgf
allows transport of up to 3 stacked units of VANTEC-
118A. It is necessary to be very careful when moving
the assembly since the enclosures are not
attached to the platform by pins. One VANTEC-118A
can be attached to another.

ANNEX : Line connections: unbalanced and balanced
There are two basic ways to transport an audio signal with microphone or line level:
Unbalanced line: Utilising a two conductor cable, it transports the signal as the voltage between them.
Electromagnetic interference can get added to the signal as undesired noise. Connectors that carry
unbalanced signals have two pins, such as RCA (Phono) and ¼” (6.35mm, often referred to as jack) mono. 3
pin connector such as XLR (Cannon) may also carry unbalanced signals if one of the pins is unused.
Balanced line: Utilising a three conductor cable, one of them acts as a shield against electromagnetic
noise and is the ground conductor. The other two have the same voltage with respect to the ground
conductor but with opposite signs. The noise that cannot be rejected by the shield affects both signal
conductors in the same way. At the device’s input the two signals get summed with opposite sign, so that
noise is cancelled out while the programme signal doubles in level. Most professional audio devices use
balanced inputs and outputs. Connectors that can carry balanced signal have three pins, such as XLR
(Cannon) and ¼” (6.35mm) stereo.
The graphs that follow show the recommended connection with different types of connectors to
balanced processor or amplifier inputs. The connectors on the left-hand side come from a signal source, and
the ones on the right hand side go to the inputs of the processor or amplifier. Note that on the unbalanced
connectors on the left-hand side, two terminals are joined inside the connector. If hum occurs with balanced
to balanced connections, try disconnecting the sleeve (ground) on the input connector. Note that the
illustrations show what should be connected to what, but that pin locations on an actual XLR connector are
different. Also, pin 2 hot is assumed on XLR connectors.
