DAS Audio Altea 715A Powered Speakers (Pair)
The Altea 715A represents DAS Audio’s commitment to delivering high-performance sound in a remarkably portable package. Each speaker harnesses 750 watts continuous (1,500 watts peak) through an efficient Class-D bi-amplified system that divides power perfectly between the high-performance 15-inch DAS 15FV4 woofer and the FEM-optimized M-28 compression driver with 1-inch exit. This precision engineering delivers deep, powerful bass down to 45 Hz while maintaining smooth, detailed high-frequency reproduction up to 20 kHz.
What sets the Altea 715A apart is its intelligent onboard processing accessible through the rear-panel DAScontrol interface. The high-end 24-bit DSP with LCD screen offers five voicing presets—Live, Dance, Vocals, Bass Boost, and Vocals & Mode—allowing you to optimize the speaker’s response for any application with a few button presses. The stackable 3-band EQ provides additional fine-tuning capability, ensuring your mix translates perfectly whether you’re reinforcing spoken word or delivering high-energy music.
The 90° x 60° coverage pattern provides wide, even dispersion that fills venues efficiently while minimizing early reflections that can cause feedback and muddy sound. At a maximum peak SPL of 132 dB at 1 meter, you have serious headroom for dynamic material without compression or distortion. The trapezoidal polypropylene enclosure serves multiple roles—mount it on a standard tripod stand, angle it on the floor as a wedge monitor, or fly it using the integrated M8 rigging points for permanent installations.
Modern connectivity includes the revolutionary DASlink app, which enables wireless control and monitoring from your mobile device. Stream high-definition stereo music via Bluetooth for background music or pre-show atmosphere, all while maintaining complete control over system parameters. At just 43 lbs per speaker, the lightweight yet robust construction includes ergonomic handles for easy transport and positioning. The built-in mixer accepts dual XLR inputs, a 3.5mm auxiliary input, and provides an XLR loop-through output for daisy-chaining additional speakers from a single source.
DAS Audio Altea 718A Powered Subwoofers (Pair)
The Altea 718A powered subwoofer is engineered specifically to provide the low-frequency foundation that transforms good sound into exceptional audio experiences. At its heart lies the DAS 18FW4 bass loudspeaker—a FEM-optimized, high-efficiency driver featuring an extended 3-inch voice coil with double-layer 20mm winding for maximum excursion and power handling. The vented pole piece and abundant back plate apertures provide superior cooling, minimizing power compression and delivering consistent high acoustic output even during extended use.
Each subwoofer delivers 600 watts continuous (1,200 watts peak) through a cutting-edge Class-D amplifier, producing a maximum peak SPL of 134 dB at 1 meter. The bass reflex design maximizes efficiency, delivering controlled, deep bass from 45 Hz to 138 Hz with exceptional accuracy and minimal distortion. This isn’t just about volume—it’s about adding weight and impact to music while providing the low-frequency support that makes speech more natural and full-bodied.
The DAScontrol interface on the rear panel provides access to digital presets optimized for different applications—”Deep” mode emphasizes extension for music reproduction, while “Loud” mode maximizes output for high-energy events. The 24-bit DSP processing ensures seamless integration with any full-range speakers, and the balanced input with stereo loop-through outputs make system expansion straightforward. Connect your Altea 715A tops or any other full-range speakers directly through the loop-through outputs for a perfectly matched system.
Construction quality is exceptional—the rugged birch plywood cabinet with ISO-flex paint finish is built to withstand the rigors of touring while the rectangular geometry allows for stable ground stacking or flying configurations. At 92.6 lbs each, the weight reflects the substantial internal bracing and driver mass needed for deep bass extension. The 35mm pole mount socket on top accepts standard speaker poles, making pole-mounted configurations with your tops quick and secure. Integrated M10 rigging points provide permanent installation flexibility.
Perfect Coverage for Your Indoor and Outdoor Events
This DAS Audio PA package excels across diverse applications and venue types. For indoor venues, expect crystal-clear sound for 200-300 people in worship spaces, conference centers, and small to medium theaters, with capacity extending to 350-400 people in acoustically favorable environments. The 90° x 60° dispersion of the Altea 715A speakers provides excellent width while controlling vertical spread, reducing ceiling reflections that can muddy intelligibility and cause feedback issues.
For outdoor applications, this system confidently covers 150-250 people for general events, with capacity up to 300 people for background music or less critical listening environments. The weather-resistant finishes on all components handle outdoor conditions well, though proper covering during storage and transport is recommended to maintain pristine appearance.
Strategic Subwoofer Placement for Maximum Impact
Single Sub Configuration: When deploying one subwoofer, center placement beneath or behind the stage provides balanced low-frequency coverage for symmetrical venues. This works particularly well for speech reinforcement where deep bass isn’t the primary focus but you want to add warmth and body to voices.
Dual Subs – Stacked Center: Positioning both Altea 718A subs in the center, stacked vertically, creates acoustic coupling that increases output by approximately 6 dB compared to separated placement. This configuration provides maximum impact for music-focused applications and creates a powerful low-frequency presence that audience members will feel throughout the venue.
Dual Subs – Left/Right Placement: Placing one subwoofer on each side of the stage, beneath or beside your Altea 715A mains, creates a distributed bass image that works well for wider stages (over 20 feet). This configuration provides more even bass coverage across the listening area, though you sacrifice the coupling benefit of center stacking.
Cardioid Configuration: For advanced users seeking to reduce stage wash and improve onstage clarity, position one sub forward-facing and one reverse-facing, spaced 1-2 feet apart with polarity reversed on the rear-facing unit. This creates a cardioid pattern that dramatically reduces bass energy behind the speakers while maintaining full impact out front—essential for stages where musicians need to hear themselves clearly.
Ideal Applications and Target Customers
This DAS Audio sound system is perfectly suited for churches and worship spaces requiring clear, powerful reinforcement for contemporary worship bands, choir, and spoken word. The Vocals preset on the Altea 715A ensures exceptional speech intelligibility for sermons and announcements, while the full system with subs delivers the low-frequency impact modern worship teams expect for drums and bass instruments.
Corporate event producers will appreciate the system’s professional presentation capabilities—crystal-clear speech reproduction for keynotes and presentations combined with enough dynamic range to handle video playback and musical entertainment. The quick-setup design and intuitive controls mean less technical complexity and more confidence during high-stakes events.
Live music venues and clubs benefit from the system’s high SPL capability and clean reproduction across genres. From acoustic singer-songwriter nights to full rock bands and electronic music, the Altea series delivers professional sound quality with the headroom and power reserves to handle dynamic material without strain.
Theaters and performing arts centers requiring reliable sound for productions, recitals, and variety programming get broadcast-quality audio with versatile mounting options. The rigging points support permanent flying installations, while the compact footprint makes these speakers easy to integrate into existing stage designs.
Easy Setup and Transportation Solutions
Setup flexibility is engineered into every aspect of this complete PA solution. The Altea 715A speakers work beautifully on standard 35mm speaker stands, with the integrated pole mount socket providing secure, stable mounting. The trapezoidal cabinet design allows floor wedge positioning at the perfect monitor angle—simply lay the speaker on its side for personal monitoring or stage fill applications.
For permanent installations, the integrated M8 rigging points accept standard rigging hardware for flying applications. The 90° x 60° coverage pattern makes aiming straightforward—horizontal orientation provides the widest coverage, while vertical aiming can be adjusted to focus sound where your audience sits while avoiding reflective surfaces.
The Altea 718A subwoofers include 35mm pole mount sockets on top, creating the perfect base for your Altea 715A tops in pole-mounted configurations. This approach minimizes your system footprint while optimizing acoustic coupling between subs and mains for cohesive full-range response. At 92.6 lbs each, the subs benefit from a hand truck or dolly for longer load-in distances, though the birch plywood construction includes integrated handles for positioning.
