Description

The DAS Audio MARA-100 has been developed for professional touring, live, event, and installation applications where high sound pressure, dynamics, and control are central. The system combines a 4-way full-range design with a cardioid line array configuration, achieving powerful and controlled reproduction across the audience.

The MARA-100 features two 10-inch LF drivers, two 8-inch midrange drivers, two 6-inch drivers for cardioid low-frequency reproduction, and two M-78N compression drivers for the highs. Horizontal coverage is 100°, while vertical dispersion depends on the chosen splay setting.

Thanks to integrated Class-D amplification, the MARA-100 delivers 4,200 W RMS continuous. The system is equipped with FIR DSP and can be managed via ALMA, DAS Audio’s software platform. The maximum linear SPL is 144 dB and the maximum SPL is 148 dB.

The cardioid design also ensures a reduction in sound at the rear. DAS Audio specifies a rear attenuation of -12 dB between 80 and 200 Hz, which helps limit unwanted low-frequency energy towards the stage.

For installation and touring, the MARA-100 features an integrated 3-point rigging system compatible with MARA and MARA-SUB systems. With the FSS system, angles can be set in 1° increments from 0° to 10°, allowing arrays to be built quickly and accurately.

With its robust birch enclosure, IP43 rating, integrated electronics, and professional connections, the MARA-100 is a complete solution for demanding professional sound systems.
