We work closely with a variety of clients looking to benefit from a sound array system for their particular noise problem. As each project and venue is unique, we tailor our approach to ensure we provide you with a system that delivers the solutions you need to easily control your noise.
Our sound engineers know that your venue needs to meet strict sound guidelines to be able to meet their Planning & Licensing requirements. Our directional sound system can provide you with a solution to your problem; giving you greater control over where sound is heard and reducing the restrictions given to your venue by local authority event licensing departments.
Designed to control entertainment noise, our sound array system is called Zone Array and is successfully used in a variety of different venues through the UK and Europe, including:
Directional sound using Zone Array: a directional sound system engineered by acoustic experts.
Directional speakers allow you to direct your sound directly to your audience. For example, by using a directional speaker you can effectively target your audience without creating noise issues in the surrounding environments.
This type of sound control system is particularly useful in wedding and entertainment venues that may be situated near to residential areas.
Whilst traditional speaker systems are designed to amplify sound over a wide area, directional speakers are designed to focus their sound to more precise areas.
Utilising a directional sound system inside your venue has several advantages, including:
We’ve engineered the Zone Array to control sound at source and localise bass to the dancefloor. Each speaker is positioned to interact with those next to it.
When multiple panels are combined they utilise “Wave Interference” and “Phase Cancellation” to create a total area that mimics a single speaker. This allows us to enhance lower frequencies that are focused only on the dancefloor.
As soon as you step away from under the system the same phase cancellation removes any bass and reduces the volume by 75% in only 2m.
We believe there is no better way to explain the benefits of our industry-leading directional speaker system than by experiencing it yourself. Our UK based sound engineers can be found travelling between our clients venues and sites or in our Sussex hub where we can meet with you to give you a demonstration of our Zone Array speaker system.
If you would like to see how the speaker system works in your venue, we are happy to set up our directional speaker systems as it would be for one of your events. By doing so, you can really see exactly the impact this state-of-the-art sound system will have on your venue.
All of our demos are completely free of charge and there is absolutely no obligation to hire or purchase any of our systems. We believe completely in our products and welcome the opportunity to help your venue really get the most out of its sound and acoustic potential.

“The background ambient noise levels in Shilstone’s surrounding Devon countryside are exceptionally low and presented some real challenges which DAS were able to address with real efficiency. Their whole package from Assessment to after sales/servicing is brilliant; and to cap it, through following advice from DAS regarding use of the Zone Array Shilstone did not receive one music related noise complaint during 2018!”
