It is recommended that for set-up or testing purposes, a high
frequency sweep starting or ending no lower than 300 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,
output will fall off significantly above 5 kHz. Always double-
check and test your wiring before applying any music signals to
the system! The ribbon tweeters are connected to the Neutrik®
Speakon® pins 2+ and 2-, 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 polypropylene film cap in series
with the tweeters, 40 uF for a 4 ohm wiring, and 10 uF for a 16
ohm wiring.
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.
CAUTION! In order to prevent damage to the ribbon tweeters,
keep the Versarray 112 system away from metal filings at all
times. Do not expose ribbons to blasts of air, and do not use
canned air to spray the ribbons, as this can result in damage. Do
not expose ribbons to liquids or caustic fumes, and keep away
from salt spray.
SPECIFICATIONS:
The Versarray 112 Mk2 Ribbon Tweeter Line Source Array module
consists of a 12" Neo Black Widow® woofer combined with a
Neodymium based Peavey RD™ 2.6 ribbon tweeter in a cabinet
with a highly flexible rigging system.
Designed to provide modular coverage of small to medium venues,
and intended for use with the companion Versarray Sub models, the
Versarray 112 Mk2 offers extreme versatility for such high performance
capability. The two-way system consists of the following driver
components: a 12" Black Widow
® Neo series woofer with
Neodymium magnet structure. Capable of over 500W of continuous
power handling (AES Std 2-1984), the woofer can handle a lot of
sheer power. The high frequencies are handled by two Peavey RD™
2.6 ribbon tweeters utilizing a composite sandwich ribbon, a
Neodymium magnet system, and a low distortion waveguide. The
new ribbon tweeters handle 50% more power than the original
versions, and provide 2 dB more sensitivity, increasing reliability and
HF output capacity. The new Mk 2 version also now has the tough
Hammerhead
™ polyurea textured black finish instead of acrylic
paint.Full range input connection to the system is made via two 4
pin Neutrik® Speakon® jacks. The total impedance presented by
the ribbons can be adjusted to 16 ohms or 4 ohms via an internal
jumper on the input cup, providing flexibility in how a line array is
wired for amplifier use. Peavey’s proprietary protection circuitry,
Sound Guard
™
, provides long and medium term driver overload
protection for the tweeter without impairing musical transients or
dynamics. The adjustable rigging system provides for a classic
straight line-array configuration, or a number of different angling
options, providing easy aiming of the system. Angles between the
array modules is adjustable from 0 degrees
(straight), to 7.5 degrees in 2.5 degree increments. Total angle
between two cabinets is 15 degrees. This provides the capability to
create a completely straight line array of 6 or more modules, or a
curved array of 6 or more modules, with a recommended maximum
total of 5 degrees of angle between each module for continuous
and even coverage, for a total vertical coverage pattern of up to 40
degrees, or somewhere in between a 5 degree pattern (straight line
array) and a 40 degree pattern (8 cabinets with 5 degree curve).
Bolts are supplied with the rigging hardware to couple the
Versarray
™
112 Mk2modules together and lock the angles
between them into place, but optional quick release pins are
available for quick and easy field adjustments or re-
configurations of a line array.
The flexibility of the Versarray system allows the use of
anywhere from 1 to 16 Versarray 112 Mk2 modules in
conjunction with anything from one Versarray 118 Sub to as
many Versarray 218 Subs as you can power!
An optional special bracket set mounts to the Versarray 218 Sub,
and allows up to three of the Versarray 112 Mk2’s to be mounted
on top of the Versarray 218 Sub, and angled upward, for use on
stage in a stadium seating situation.
In addition, a lift kit co-designed with Vermette, and available as
an accessory, can elevate up to six Versarray 112 Mk2 modules
13 feet high above a 218 sub, then fold down for easy transport
and storage.
