DAS Audio ACTION-500 Series: Small Room, Big Sound

When the room is small but the sound still needs to fill it, the DAS Audio ACTION-508A and ACTION-512A are built for exactly that job. These compact powered speakers pack real output into a footprint that fits smaller sanctuaries, fellowship halls, and multipurpose rooms without dominating the space. The 8 inch ACTION-508A delivers up to 720W peak power and 122 dB SPL, while the 12 inch ACTION-512A steps up to 1000W peak and 131 dB SPL, both with a rotatable 90 by 60 degree horn that adapts from a main speaker to a stage monitor or front fill. Onboard DAScontrol DSP with an LCD interface makes setup simple for volunteers and staff alike, and both models are in stock and ready to ship.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between the DAS Audio ACTION-508A and ACTION-512A?

    The ACTION-508A is an 8 inch, 2-way powered speaker with up to 720W peak power (360W RMS continuous) and 122 dB max SPL, built around an 8GV woofer and a 1.5 cm M-34 compression driver. The ACTION-512A steps up to a 12 inch woofer with up to 1000W peak power (500W RMS continuous) and 131 dB max SPL for a bit more headroom and low end. Both share the same rotatable 90 by 60 degree horn, birch plywood cabinet, and DAScontrol DSP, so the choice really comes down to how much output your room needs.

  • Can the ACTION-508A and ACTION-512A be used in a fixed installation, or are they only for portable PA?

    Both models are built for fixed installations and portable PA applications alike. The rotatable horn lets an integrator mount the speaker vertically for a permanent install or horizontally for use as a stage monitor or front fill, and the M8/M10 rigging points and pole mount socket support flying or pole mounting depending on the job.

  • Can compact powered speakers really cover a smaller room on their own?

    Yes. Both the ACTION-508A and ACTION-512A are designed as complete, self-powered systems with a built-in amp and DSP, so a single pair can handle speech, music playback, and A/V needs in a smaller room without a separate amplifier rack. Their rotatable horn also lets you angle coverage exactly where the audience sits, which matters more in a compact space than raw power does.

  • Would these work in a classroom or multipurpose room where the setup changes often?

    Yes, that flexibility is part of the design. Because each speaker is self-powered with onboard DSP presets and simple XLR and 3.5 mm inputs, staff can move it between a classroom, a meeting room, and a multipurpose room without rewiring an amp rack each time. The lightweight birch plywood build also makes it easy to reposition or store between uses.

  • Are these a good fit for a small church sound system?

    They're a strong fit for small church sound systems that need clear speech intelligibility for sermons and enough headroom for music. The ACTION-508A suits an intimate sanctuary or a fellowship hall, while the ACTION-512A gives a bit more punch for a larger worship space or a room that doubles as a music venue. Both are built with the same birch plywood cabinet DAS uses in its touring systems, so the tonal quality carries over even at this smaller scale.

  • What's actually driving the sound in these speakers, and how do you dial them in?

    Each speaker runs a dual channel Class D bi-amp, 720W peak in the ACTION-508A and 1000W peak in the ACTION-512A, paired with an M-34 compression driver on a rotatable 90 by 60 degree horn. Setup and tuning happen through the DAScontrol interface, which uses a 24-bit DSP and a rear LCD screen to select presets, adjust EQ and delay, set gain, and mix input sources, so an installer or AV tech can dial in the room without outboard processing.
