Frequently Asked Questions
The FIR filter provides incredibly precise phase response correction, resulting in tighter, more controlled bass without unwanted peaks or cancellations – a noticeable improvement over standard EQing.
While it offers a lot of control, the interface is reasonably intuitive with a logical menu structure, though some experimentation will be needed to fully utilize its capabilities.
It's heavier than many competitors; DAS prioritized robust construction and power over absolute lightness, making it less ideal for frequent solo transport.
