Processor Settings for the Versarray

212 and Versarray 218

Subs

Please contact Peavey Electronics for the latest information.

One Versarray 212 Enclosure w/ One Versarray 218

(For reference purposes only, you should use more than
one Versarray 212 cabinet so as to create a line array. We
recommend a minimum of four Versarray 212 cabinets.)

SPECIAl NOTE:

These settings have been carefully selected to

provide the best performance the Versarray 212 system is capable
of, and provide maximum sound quality with high 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 severe under-lap at the crossover frequency. This
is not the case, and all factors have been taken into account,
including the acoustic behavior of the drivers into the waveguide
load. If you have ANY concerns or questions about crossover and
EQ settings, please contact Peavey Transducer Engineering.

one sub, see Subwoofer notes below.

SPECIAl NOTE:

Versarray 212 cabinets are strongly recommended

to be used in multiples of four or more to create a proper line
array. Ideally, they will be used in line arrays of six or more per
location.

Front End EQ for multiple cabinets

Note: The VSX 26 has a front end Global EQ section, consisting
of 27 bands of 1/3 octave EQ, which function just like a classic
analog 1/3 oct. band EQ. The Digitool has 5 bands of PEQ (as well
as the other filter/EQ type functions) at the front end.

Rather than change the main crossover and EQ settings, we make
the adjustments for differing numbers of cabinets primarily via
this frontend or global EQ.

Digitool MX

or VSX 48:

Six Versarray 212 cabinets @ 2 degrees angle between them

PEQ Freq = 325 Hz BW = 0.71 Level = - 3.5 dB
PEQ Freq = 2.5 kHz BW = 1.0 Level = - 5.0 dB

Also, reduce the PEQ on the 2.5” Midranges at 845 Hz from +4.5 dB
down to +2.5 dB.

VSX 26 Front End gEQ (1/3 octave band type):

1/3 octave band 250 Hz set to – 0.5 dB; 1/3 octave band 315 Hz
set to – 2.5 dB; 1/3 octave band 400 Hz set to – 1.0 dB; 1/3 octave
band 1.6 kHz set to – 1.0 dB; 1/3 octave band 2.0 kHz set to – 1.5
dB; 1/3 octave band 2.5 kHz set to – 3.0 dB; 1/3 octave band 3.15
kHz set to – 1.5 dB; 1/3 octave band 4.0 kHz set to –1.0 dB
