FA-908 24" Directional Speaker with Integrated Digital Signage Player |
The Dakota Audio FA-908 24" Directional Speaker with Integrated High Definition (HD) 1080p Network Digital Signage Media Player is the smaller version of the FA-907. The FA-908 combines the features of the FA-602 Directional Speaker with a built in network ready digtital signage media player. The built in media player may be used with or without an attached video screen and features USB, GPIO, RS232, and 10/100 Ethernet connectivity. 1080p Video display connectivity options include: HDMI DVI (via adapter) VGA Component (RCA)
The FA-908 is unique in that it directs the audio Signal at a fifteen degree angle to one side (indicated on the back of the speaker) instead of straight down as the FA-501 does The FA-908's steered audio signal is especially useful when installing in a post construction environment or when used in a suspended or acoustic tile ceiling. In these situations invariably there is some obstruction that interferes with the proper placement of the speaker. Through hundreds of installations we have found that the 15 degree offset overcomes most of these situations. The FA-906 produces a slightly oval sound pattern enabling a variety of mounting postions from horizontally overhead to mounting vertically on a wall or under a grating in the floor. Our customers have installed these units in every configuration possible, contact us to learn more about them and we'll be happy to put you in touch with our thousands of very happy customers. [Dakota Audio also offers a Standard Definition (SD) version of the 24" integrated digital signage media player (FA-906) capable of playing only audio or audio and 480p video content and can be managed across your existing network.] Please see the Directional Speaker/Media Player Feature Matrix to learn more. During our over 14 years in business we have only had two speakers returned and while that speaks to our products abilities we also take great pride in assisting our customers find the appropriate product for their needs. Contact us with your diagrams of where you want the sound to be in and out of focus and we'll help you with a decision you'll be proud of many years to come. |

| |  The FA-908 is easily field adjustable for both mounting height and pattern width. There are two push buttons and two rows of LEDs on the top side of the array. One sets the mounting height above the floor in one foot increments from 8 to 14 feet. The other button controls the pattern width in seven steps from tight to a circle appropriately 10 feet in diameter. Audio input is line level, transformer isolated, either balanced or unbalanced. A volume control and two position gain switch controls the built in amplifier which accommodates a wide range of audio input levels. | 
A three position switch controls a built in equalizer with three preset adjustments to the audio frequency response for the program material. The music position provides full range sound. The voice with music position has a slight rise in the high frequency response to enhance voice intelligibility while maintaining good music reproduction. The voice position reduces low frequencies for maximum voice intelligibility.The array accepts any standard line level input, either balanced or unbalanced. | For installations where the audio level is set remotely, a switch disables the volume control. The FA-908 focused sound arrays are powered by either 16 to 18 Volts AC or 24 Volts DC. A plug-in 16 VAC transformer is supplied for installations where local 120 power is available. Where the array power and signal cables share the same conduit, we suggest powering them with 24VDC. Generally, the arrays are suspended by four thin (0.080 inch) aircraft cables with easily adjustable clips (supplied). Optionally, four threaded inserts, either 1/4 - 20 American or 6 millimeter metric, are available. The units are constructed of aluminum, with a non-reflective black powder coat finish. The snap-on fabric grill cover is provided, available in black or white. Custom covers are available in quantities of 100 or more. Logos or designs can be printed on the face of the fabric. Please add a "B" or "W" to end of the product number when ordering (i.e. FA-908B will be shipped with a black cover) |
