INTRODUCTION
DR-508
- Compact 2-way, full-range system
- 8” bass loudspeaker
- Compression driver with titanium diaphragm
- Multiple mounting options
- Stand mountable
The DR-508 is an ultracompact full-range system that
uses a new 8” low frequency transducer. The M-34
compression driver handles high frequency reproduction.
The polypropilene enclosures is light-weight and rugged.
DR-515
- 2-way, full range system
- 15” bass loudspeaker
- Compression driver with titanium diaphragm
- Stand mountable
- Monitor position
The DR-515 exemplifier the achievements of D.A.S.
engineers in high pressure injection molding technology.
The DR-515 mounts a propietary 15” low frequency
transducer and the high efficiency M-34 compression
driver and CD horn assembly.
DR-512
- Compact 2-way, full-range system
- 12” bass loudspeaker
- Compression driver with titanium diaphragm
- Multiple mounting options
- Stand mountable
The DR-512 combines design with function in a
medium size enclosure. It´s unique enclosure offers an
oversized handle for easy carrying, will accept a standard
35 mm mounting stand and includes a floor monitor
position for added flexibility. Built-in rigging points and an
optional mounting bracket facilitates use in permanent
installations. The 2-way passive design incorporates 12”
low frequency transducer and the M-34 compression
driver.
Características
The DR 500 series combines design with function, achieving a product that redefines the meaning of reliability,
sound quality and efficiency in compact sound reinforcement enclossures. The use of the lastest high-
pressure injection molding techniques provides the DR 500 series with structural polypropylene enclosures that
are both attractive and durable. They are specially appropiate in any sound reinforcement application
requiring a lightweight compact solution.

Manual del Usuario / DR 500 passive series / User’s Manual
RIGGING SYSTEM
This manual contains needed information for
flying D.A.S. Audio line array systems, description
of the elements and safety precautions. 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 D.A.S. Specifications
are subject to change without notice.
To this date, there is no international standard
regarding the flying of acoustic systems. However,
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.
Warnings
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 D.A.S. Audio are the user's responsibility. Use
at your own risk.
Flyable DR 500 series models feature 6 internal
steel angles, with 2 mounting threads each, so
that 12 flying points are available (2 on each side,
3 on the top panel and 3 on the bottom panel and
2 on the rear panel). 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 fixed
installations where the boxes are permanently
fixed.
The illustration shows the internal metal
hardware of an enclosure with eyebolt flying.
Introduction

ANL-2
12 Manual del Usuario / DR 500 passive series / User’s Manual
The Allen-head screws must be removed and
replaced by M10 eyebolts on one side of the
enclosure. Each rigging point has 200 kg (440 lb)
working load limit. Then choose the slings or
chains of required load resistance and length,
bearing in mind that the length difference between
the front and back slings or chains will determine
the vertical orientation. Alternatively, the back
bottom eyebolt points can be used to provide
vertical orientation.
The ANL-2 set is an optional set of three
eyebolts and three carabiners. (Dimensions are in
milimetres).
Flying with eyebolts
Each ANL-2 eyebolt has a rated working load
of 200 kg. (440 lb). Each ANL-2 carabiner has a
working load of 330 kg (726 lb). If using other
hardware, make sure it is rated to handle the
required load.
When using eyebolts it is important to bear in
mind that the rated working load is only true for a
load applied in the plane of the eye, and is
significantly reduced for other angles. The drawing
illustrates the concept. The table shows the
variation of the working load as a function of the
load angle. In the case of the ANL-2 eyebolt, this
means that the 200 kg working load becomes 60
kg at 45 degrees. Do not use eyebolt flying if the
load angle is higher than 45 degrees.
The following illustrations show different views
on eyebolt flying for a single box. The length of the
back cables or chains determines the vertical
angle of the box.
