Audac Active Speaker Set ARES5A 2-Way 2x40 W, Black

Audac ARES5A Active Speaker Set 2 x 40 Watt

The ARES5A is a 2-way active speaker system consisting of one active and one passive unit that need to be connected to each other. It provides an easy and flexible solution for a wide range of applications. The 2-way speaker is carefully constructed from high-quality components, featuring a 5¼” woofer and a ½” high-frequency tweeter. This design, combined with an integrated DSP, delivers an extremely clear and powerful sound experience for various applications. The built-in amplifier can provide a power output of 2 x 40 Watts and includes a stereo line input, both balanced and unbalanced, allowing convenient connection to any audio source.

Unbalanced audio sources are connected via a 3.5 mm jack, while balanced sources can be connected to the terminal block input connection, enabling long signal runs without interference. A volume potentiometer allows the user to adjust the volume, while a two-band tone control allows for equalization of treble and bass.

The automatic standby mode reduces power consumption when no input signal is detected. The active speaker features a stereo amplifier module that also delivers the input signal to the passive unit.

A specially designed mounting system enables close-to-wall installation of the speakers, while the recessed bracket structure ensures an optimal aesthetic appearance of the system. The ARES5A can be mounted both horizontally and vertically with an angle of up to 45° on either side, allowing for proper speaker orientation. Since the bracket consists of two 45° corners, installation in corners or even against the ceiling is easily achievable.

The optional MBK455 (available for purchase) angled mounting bracket set provides an additional tilt of 90° when necessary. To ensure optimal safety during and after installation, the ARES is equipped with M6 drop safety features. A remote input connection implemented through an RJ45 socket allows for the connection of a wall panel, enabling system expansion via remote input modules. A range of optional remote input devices with various input options are available.
