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.
