Dakota Audio FA501 Large Format Overhead Array Speaker

The Dakota Audio FA-501 Directional Audio array is the larger version (36 inches square) of the FA-602. The FA-501 directs the audio signal straight down (as compared to the FA-602's focused audio signal that projects to the side at a fifteen degree angle). The FA-501 produces a circular sound pattern enabling a variety of mounting postions from horizontally overhead to mounting vertically on a wall or under a grating in the floor - these units have been installed in every configuration possible.

The FA-501's full range sound capability is unmatched in the directional audio industry. It is frequently used where sound quality and control is paramount. The FA-501 is used in the Country Music Hall of Fame, Stax Museum of American Soul Music, several museums within the Smithsonian Institution, The National Constitution Center, The Corvette Museum, The Newseum, and in countless retail and digital signage applications.

This speaker is commonly installed in conjunction with retail digital signage, in sports bars, and in the majority of the museums in the world. (over 75% of the museums in North America alone) The FA-501 is covered by Dakota Audio's five (5) year warranty with product registration, and if purchasing an evaluation unit, is eligible for Dakota Audio's industry shattering 90 day money back guarantee.
