Versarray 112 Ribbon Tweeter Line Array (w/coupling brackets & locking pins)

Description

The Versarray 112 Ribbon Tweeter Line Source Array module consists of a new 12" Neo Black Widow® woofer combined with a Neodymium based Peavey RD? 1.6 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 offers extreme versatility for such high performance capability.
The two-way system consists of a 12" Black Widow Neo series woofer with a Neodymium magnet structure, capable of handling over 500 Watts of continuous power, and two Peavey RD 1.6 ribbon tweeters utilizing a composite sandwich ribbon, a Neodymium magnet system, and a low distortion waveguide.
Full range input connection to the system is made via 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 the line array is wired for your amplifier application. Sound Guard?, Peavey?s proprietary protection circuitry, provides long and medium term driver overload protection for the tweeter without impairing musical transients or dynamics.
The adjustable rigging system allows a classic straight line array configuration, or a number of different angling options for aiming the system easily. Angles between the array modules are adjustable from 0° (straight), to 7.5° in 2.5° increments. Total angle between two cabinets is 15°. 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° of angle between each module for continuous and even coverage, for a total vertical coverage pattern of up to 40°, or somewhere in between a 5° pattern (straight line array) and a 40° pattern (8 cabinets with 5° curve).
Bolts are supplied with the rigging hardware to couple the Versarray 112 modules 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.

Architectural and Engineering Specifications
The loudspeaker system shall be a two-way, sealed enclosure with a built-in cabinet-to-cabinet rigging and angle adjustment system included. The unit shall have an operating bandwidth of 110 Hz to 20 kHz, with signal processing. The nominal output level of the woofer shall be 96 dB, and of the tweeters 99 dB when measured at a distance of one meter with an input of one watt. The nominal impedance shall be 8 ohms for the woofer, and internally switchable to either 4 or 16 ohms for the tweeters. The maximum continuous power handling for the woofer shall be 500 watts, maximum program power of 1,000 watts and a peak power input of at least 2,000 watts, and for the tweeters it shall be 80 watts continuous, maximum program power of 160 watts and a peak power input of at least 320 watts, with a minimum amplifier headroom of 3 dB. The woofer shall be a Peavey Black Widow® Neo Series, with a 4" voice coil, and the two tweeters shall be a Peavey RD? 1.6 with true ribbon construction, transformer coupled to the driving amplifier used. The tweeters shall be provided with a self-resetting protection circuit internal to the cabinet to help prevent damage to the tweeters during power overload condition.
Input shall be via two Neutrik Speakon type 4-pin jacks connected in parallel.
The nominal radiation geometry shall be 90 degrees in the horizontal plane and 15 degrees in the vertical plane for a single Versarray 112 cabinet. There shall be stand mount cups provided for stand use, one cup on one side for a stand angle perpendicular to the cabinet side, the other cup on the other side angled 5 degrees down from perpendicular, with regard to the front of the cabinet.
The outside dimensions shall be 14.06 inches high by 25.25 inches wide by 11.75 inches deep. The cabinet shall be constructed of 18 mm 13 ply birch plywood. The weight shall be 54 pounds. The loudspeaker system shall be a Peavey model Versarray 112.
