The AERO-20A is a 2-way powered line array system which incorporates connectivity for remote
TM
monitoring and control. The unique configuration of the AERO-20A Advanced Line Array System (ALAS )
incorporates a 12” transducer in a bass-reflex configuration for low-end and mid range reproduction. High
frequency reproduction relies on one DAS M-75N compression driver attached to a new BPS-1912
waveguide. This product is available in two horizontal coverages: 90º (referred to as AERO-20A) and 120º
(referred to as AERO-20.120A).
Power for the AERO-20A is provided by a package of integrated electronics that includes a new 1200 W
(2400 Wpeak) amplifier, advanced digital signal processing and connectivity for remote system management.
The three channel, high efficiency Class D amplifier design is equipped with a switch mode power supply
(SMPS) and a comprehensive protection package for both the amplifier as well as the components. Channel
one powers the low-mid frequencies with channel two powering the high frequencies.
The AERO-20A incorporates the latest in digital signal processors. Brick wall FIR filters have been used to
provide perfect alignment between ways achieving exceptionally uniform coverage, inclusive at the crossover
point. Top-of-the-line AD/DA converters have been employed allowing for significant improvements in
dynamics, lower distortion and ultra-low noise levels.
TM
Remote monitoring and control is provided by way of DASnet , the audio management application for
TM
DAS powered cabinets and processors. The DASnet software offers users instant and intuitive view of the
system status as well as control over the range of parameters of a single cabinet or a network of them.
The AERO-20A enclosure is brilliant in design. Constructed using birch plywood and finished with the ISO-
Flex black paint offers excellent protection and durability. Two individual assemblies comprising the high
frequency waveguide and the carrier of the 12” woofer are made from injection molded aluminum and
attached to the front of the cabinet. A two-piece injected aluminum heat sink housing the amplifier and
related electronics is attached to the rear of the cabinet.
A robust steel grille with a powder coat finish has been used to protect the components. Stainless steel
has been employed to fasteners and parts of the new rigging system. The captive rigging system has been
designed to provide ease-of-use, safe rigging and precise aiming. Using captive links and quick-release pins,
the spring-loaded links remain positioned while rigging and prevent rattling during operation.

user notes
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 that you switch them 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 models use a power cable equipped with
a Neutrik PowerCon TRUE1 connector. Power can
be daisy chained via the TRUE1 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.
Overheating
This equipment does not normally overheat
during normal conditions of use due to the use of
a high efficiency amplifier combined with a
heatsink. When overheating occurs, the unit
protects itself (at 80ºC at the internal amplifier´s
sensing point). This temperature limit can be
monitored with DASnet. In case of entering in
protection mode, 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 indicator
This device has a SIGNAL/LIMIT indicator. The
red light indicates the signal is excessive.
The indicator should not be lit continuously.
This distorts the signal (quickly fatiguing your ears)
and may damage the speakers.
Normally it is enough just to let the unit cool
down after you have corrected the problem so that
the system functions properly again.
The amplifier is provided with a radiator made
of aluminum which improves heat evacuation.
Keep grilles clean and dust-free.
Do not block or obstruct in any way the air
entrance or exit while the equipment is in use.
Air circulates from the bottom to the top of the
amplifier.
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.
The unit recognises automatically if it´s going to
work in 230Vac or 115Vac range.
The nominal operating ranges are 85V to 125V
for 115Vac, or 170V to 250V for 230Vac.
Therefore the current consumed by a 115V
version is double the 230V version to achieve the
same acoustic power level.
For 230Vac the consumption of the unit giving
1/3 of power (with pink noise input signal) is 1.8A.

SOLUTION
1 – Check that the mixer or sound
source is sending signal to the UNIT.
2 – Check that the cable from the
sound source to the UNIT is
connected correctly. Replace the
cable if defective.
1 - If using a mixer, use the
balanced output if available. Use a
professional mixer with a hotter
output.
2 - Try to “cold” the unit turning
down the master of the mixer
1 - Turn mixer channel gains down.
Check that none of your signal
sources are distorting.
1 - Turn down the mixer's output.
1.– Read the appendix of this
manual to make a correct un-
balanced to balanced cable.
2.– Connect the mixer and the unit
to the same mains outlet.
3.– Use a cable that is as short as
possible and/or move the audio
signal cable away from mains
cables.
4 - Check that there aren´t pins
crossed in CAT7 cable. Possible
short between audio par and
DASnet signal.
5 - Make sure that Audio INPUT is
not connected in DASnet INPUT
and vice versa.
1.– Move the audio signal cable
away from lighting cables. Try to find
out at what point the noise is leaking
into the system.
2.– Connect the sound system to a
different phase than the lights. You
may need the help of an electrician.
1.– Check your connections.
2.– Check the cables, connectors
and AC power with a suitable mains
tester.
3 - Replace the fuse for another of
the same size and type.

CHANGE OF CONFIGURATION (reset)
The unit allows to change some default factory settings using the controls in the amplifier´s panel. The
firmware which is described here is the 1.20 version.
TM
However, gain and delay only can be changed with DASnet .
To re-establish the default factory settings (Number of units/Throw/gain/delay...) without using DASnet the
system has to be switched ON while pressing the Throw button.
By doing this the cabinet will be set up with the Number of units correction to 1 unit and the Throw to MID.

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 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 Audio
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 for 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).
Accessories
AERO-20A systems are rigged with the
accessories AX-AE20, AX-COMBO2040 and PICKUP-
AX-AE20 (if you need another lift motor).
The platform PL-20S allows the transport of four
units.
Consult the Rigging Manual for more
information about the accessories.
The metal parts are made of steel, covered
with zinc and painting in black, with high
resistency screws which act to reinforce the
stacking and the rigging.
When a system is flying, 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 prevent evidence of inspection
reports and corrective actions after defects were
found.
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.

ANNEX I: 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.

ANNEX II : DASnet cables
17
With each system, cabling and patch panels are provided. It is very important to use the system
with the intended cables to prevent electromagnetic interferences between the analog audio signal,
the DASnet data and the power. Be sure to check the specifications provided by the cable
manufacturer. It is also especially important when installing connectors yourself, to note that when
termination is not accurate, a cable will be unable to achieve its maximum performance and could
have interferences.
There are 4 different types of cables.
- The main feeds which include power and a STP, CAT7 cable. These cables are named
eCP_xx (xx refers to cable length).
- The links between cabinets (aero40A/Convert15A/LX-218CAnet), which are STP CAT7
cables. Cable code eC_09
- Power Links between cabinets.Cable code Plink1_09
- Links for RoadNet series. Power+STP CAT7. eCPk_1/eCPk_5
The main feed cable eCP_xx has the following structure:
