SARA features two custom designed 8″ loudspeakers for mid and low frequencies and a compression driver for high frequencies with a 80° horizontal dispersion waveguide.
SARA’s Class D amplifier integrates a switch-mode power supply with power factor correction (PFC), ensuring optimum performance and efficiency regardless of the mains voltage. The amplifier provides 3000Wrms of power, divided into 4 channels, two of which are used in bridge mode to power the compression driver, and the remaining two are used to power the 8″ front speakers.
The three-point rigging system can be used for both SARA and SARA-SUB, allowing arrays of up to 24 SARA and 16 SARA-SUB units to be hung. In addition, using the JP-SARA accessory, up to 12 units of SARA can be hung below the SARA-SUB. The FSS™ (Fast Set Splay) system allows angles to be adjusted in 1° steps from the stacked position, significantly reducing assembly time.
