Versarray™ 112 Mk III

Passive Enclosure

Product Specifications

e Versarray™ 112 Mk III Passive Ribbon Tweeter Line Source Array speaker system consists of a 12” Neo Black

Widow® woofer combined with a Neodymium based Peavey RD™ 2.6 Mk III ribbon tweeter in a cabinet with a

simple, quick, yet exible rigging system. Designed to provide modular coverage of small to medium venues,

and intended for use with the companion Versarray™ Mk III Sub models, the Versarray™ 112 Mk III oers ex-

cellent versatility with a very high performance capability. e two-way system consists of the following driver

perform to modern standards of excellence, and handily exceed the competitions audible performance.

e FlyQWIK™ fully articulated hardware rigging system provides for a classic straight line-array conguration,

or a number of dierent angling options, providing easy aiming of the system. Angles between the array modules

is adjustable from 0 degrees (straight), to 15 degrees in 2.5 degree increments. Total angle possible between two

cabinets is 15 degrees.

Quick-lock pins are supplied with the rigging hardware to couple the Versarray™ 112 Mk III modules together

and lock the angles between them into place, as well as for the rigging halo and y bar congurations of a line

array. e exibility of the Versarray™ system allows the use of anywhere from 1 to 10 Versarray™ 112 Mk III

modules in conjunction with Versarray™ 218 Mk III Subs. An optional special groundstack bracket set mounts

to the Versarray 218 Mk III Sub, and allows up to three of the Versarray™ 112 Mk III ‘s to be mounted on top of

• Ribbon Tweeters mounted to our proprietary CLEAR FORM™ Waveguide

• 90 H by 15 V degree coverage pattern (per one cabinet)

• Easy aiming FlyQWIK™ hardware rigging system

• Angle adjustable in 2 1/2 degree increments, from 0 to 15 degrees total angle between adjacent cabinets

• Sound Guard™ tweeter protection, series capacitor for reliability

• Inputs are two Neutrik® Speakon® 4 pin jacks in parallel

• 18 mm 13 ply Baltic Birch enclosure with steel inner brackets

• Injection molded cabinet end caps, made from high impact material.

• Hammerhead™ polyurea black nish and black powder-coated cloth lined grilles

e angle for 7.5 degrees uses a dierent set of arrows, due to the hardware bolt being in the way of a correctly

located screened angle on the Angle Slider Rail using the Angle arrow on the Angle Slider bracket.

Adding additional cabinets follows this same basic hook-up progression, with the Angle Slider on the top cabinet

of a given pair setting the angle between those two cabinets.

NOTE: Any Versarray™ Sub cabinets that might be own in the same array o of the same Halo should be locat-

ed at the top of the array, as they have no angle adjustment capability, and can only be hung at a 0 degree angle.

Alternate Method of Setting Angles Between Cabinets

Dismantling an Array

Retract all the hang straps, and pin into place, place the Pivot Bar into the proper position to pin it into the Pivot

Bar Hole, remove the pin from the Angle Pin hole, and slide the Angle Slide bracket into the LOCK position

(LOCK arrow lined up with the other LOCK arrow), and pin into place. See Fig. 8.

Make sure that all the quick release lock pins are re-inserted into their default positions.

Cabinet hardware and rigging must be placed into the storage and transport positions, to move or transport the

cabinets individually, or the product Warranty is voided.

Processor Settings

Versarray™ 112 Mk 3 Processor Settings and MLAS™ EQ packages.

Single VR112 Mk 3 Cabinet w/VR 218 Sub (Starting point)

Front End EQ (before the crossover section)

e input channel of the Digitool is used to aid in the overall EQ of the VR112 Mk 3. One band is used for one of

Variable EQ (depends on number of cabinets, see cabinet number chart below)

PEQ –X.X dB @ 180 Hz, BW = X.X

Infrasonic Filtering: Output Channel = VR 218 Mk 3 High Pass crossover = Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB/oct. @ 23 Hz;

High Pass12 dB/oct, 20 Hz, BW=1.9

Crossover settings:

VR218 Mk3 Subwoofer to VR112 Mk3 Crossover:

Sub= 24 dB/oct. Low Pass Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB/oct. @ 120 Hz, Sub Polarity Normal

Sub EQ (in output channel):

PEQ +4.5 dB @ 38 Hz, BW= 0.7;

Low Pass lter = 24 dB/oct. Bessel @ 1280 Hz,

Tweeter Output Channel Filters: High Pass lter = 24 dB/oct. Bessel @ 3300 Hz

Woofer Polarity Normal, Tweeter Polarity Reversed

(Bessel Set Frequency NOT Normalized to the –3 dB point)

Special Note: ese settings have been carefully selected to provide the best performance the Versarray™ 112 Mk

3 system is capable of, and provide maximun sound quality with good reliability.

Bessel filters have a non-intuitive frequency setting compared to Linkwitz-Riley or Butterworth filters, and may

give the impression that there is a servere under-lap at the crossover frequency. This is not the case, and all fac-

tors have been taken into account, including the acoustic behavior of the drivers into the waveguide load. If you

PEQ +4.0 dB @ 115 Hz, BW= 0.6

PEQ –6.0 dB @ 469 Hz, BW =0.60

PEQ –3.0 dB @ 1160 Hz, BW = 2.00

PEQ –1.5 dB @ 1400 Hz, BW = 0.30

Woofer Delay = 0.103 ms

PEQ +2.5 dB @ 7.16 kHz, BW = 0.30

PEQ +5.0 dB @ 13.90 kHz, BW = 0.80

These settings provide for the EQ packages mentioned in the MLAS™ section preceding this.

There is no need to change the level of the tweeters or the Subs relative to the 12” woofers with these

settings used.

These settings are specic to the Peavey Digitool™ models, more general settings are shown after

this section.

Special Note: These settings use varying degrees of Hi-shelf EQ instead of an overall level change

for the whole tweeter band, in order to optimize the response even further than previous versions of

the Versarray system.

Bass-Boost – General EQ on top of MLAS sections and cabinet numbers

For Versarray 112 Mk3, Bass Boost Mode

These settings should only be used in conjunction with the complimentary Bass-Boost EQ on the

VR215 Pro or VR218 Mk3/Pro, never just on the VR112’s alone.

Shown below are the Bass-Boost settings for the VR-218 Mk3, which should only be used in

conjunction with the complimentary settings on the VR112’s.
