IF ANY OF THE BRACKETS, OR THE FlY BAR HAS BEEN
DAMAgED OR DISTORTED, DO NOT USE, AND DO NOT FlY THE
ARRAY UNTIl THEY CAN BE REPlACED OR REPAIRED!

Warning! Do not feed a full-range signal to the tweeters in the
Versarray 212! This could damage the tweeters!
It is recommended that for set-up or testing purposes, a high
frequency sweep starting or ending no lower than 500 Hz be
used to verify that the tweeters are connected to the high
frequency output of the crossover/processor. If the wiring has
been swapped, and the signal is mistakenly fed to the woofers
or midranges, output will fall off significantly above 5 kHz or 10
kHz. Always double-check and test your wiring before applying
any music signals to the system! The ribbon tweeters are
connected to the Neutrik
®
4-pin Speakon
®
connector pins +2
and -2, and to pins +4 and –4 for the 8-pin Speakon connector,
as per industry standards.
If there is any chance that trained personnel are not going
to be connecting and operating the system, then it would be
advisable to place a high quality 20 uF polypropylene film cap
in series with the tweeters.
Caution! Ribbon Tweeters do not exhibit audible signs of
distress when overloaded! It is possible to exceed the physical
and/or thermal limits by overloading the unit suddenly with
excess power, even though there are no obvious sounds of
distress.
