Product Specifications
CREST AUDIO
The 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 flexible 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 offers excellent versatility with a very 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 Mk3 ribbon tweeters utilizing a composite sandwich ribbon, a Neodymium magnet system, and a low distortion CLEAR FORM™ waveguide.
Designed to be used in conjunction with a compatible DSP based loudspeaker signal processor, such as a Peavey Digitool ™ , Nion ® or MediaMatrix ® system, with the Peavey factory settings in use, the Versarray ™ 112 Mk III can perform to modern standards of excellence, and handily exceed the competitions audible performance.
The FlyQWIK™ fully articulated hardware 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 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 fly bar configurations of a line array. The flexibility 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 the Versarray 218 Mk III Sub, and angled upward, for use on stage in a stadium seating situation.

Warning! Do not feed a full-range signal to the tweeters in the Versarray™ 112 Mk III ! 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 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.
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 Mk III 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.
Frequency Response
This measurement is useful in determining how accurately a given unit reproduces an input signal. The frequency response of the Versarray ™ 112 Mk III is measured at a distance of 1 meter using a swept-sine input signal. As shown in Figure A, the selected drivers in the Versarray ™ 112 Mk III combine to give a smooth frequency response with the recommended signal processing.
Directivity
Beamwidth is derived from the -6 dB points from the polar plots which are measured in a whole space anechoic environment. Q and Directivity Index are plotted for the on-axis measurement position. These are specifications that provide a reference to the coverage characteristics of the unit. These parameters provide insight for proper placement and installation in the chosen environment. The blending of the components of the Versarray™ 112 Mk III and the settings on the Peavey® Digitool™ Live speaker processor (or other suitable speaker processor) and crossed over with the Versarray™ 112 Mk III pre-sets, exhibit a desirable beamwidth and directivity (as shown in Figures B, C and D) suitable for sound reinforcement applications.
Power Handling
There are many different approaches to power handling ratings. Peavey rates this loudspeaker system's components power handling using the AES Standard 2-1984. Using audio band pink noise of the proper range for each driver, with peaks of four times the RMS level, and then running the signal through the Peavey® Digitool™ Live speaker processor and crossover (or other suitable speaker processor) with the Versarray™ 112 Mk III pre-sets, this strenuous test signal assures the user that every portion of this system can withstand today's high technology music.
NOTE: Before you fly the array, be sure to inspect the rigging and flying hardware to insure that it is mechanically sound and has not been damaged, there should be no significant distortion of the shape of the coupling brackets, cabinet brackets, Halo or fly bar, and the hardware should be checked for tightness.
This Crest loudspeaker should be suspended overhead only in accordance with the procedures and limitations specified in the User's Manual and possible manual update notices. This system should be suspended with certified rigging hardware by an authorized rigging professional and in compliance with local, provincial or national suspension ordinances. ALWAYS USE PROPER GRADE HARDWARE.
CAUTION: Before attempting to suspend this speaker, consult with a certified structural engineer. Speaker can fall from improper suspension, resulting in serious injury and property damage. Use only the correct mating hardware. All associated rigging is the responsibility of others. Maximum enclosure angle 30 degrees. Failure to follow proper rigging specifications listed in the manual may result in injury or death.
Whenever possible, in addition to the nominal primary mounting method, use a suitable safety chain or wire rope attached to one of the other groups of fly points, and firmly attached to a suitable structural member as indicated by a certified structural engineer. CAUTION: ALWAYS USE SAFETY CHAIN OR WIRE ROPE.
IF ANY OF THE RIGGING, OR THE HALO OR FLY BAR HAS BEEN DAMAGED OR DISTORTED, DO NOT USE, AND DO NOT FLY THE ARRAY UNTIL
THEY CAN BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED!
DO NOT USE THE PIVOT BAR OR ANGLE SLIDER BRACKET AS HANDLES TO TRANSPORT THE CABINETS!
DO NOT TRANSPORT THE CABINETS IN ARRAY CONFIGURATION COUPLED TOGETHER, EXCEPT WITH THE RECOMMENDED TRANSPORT CART AND IN THE STIPULATED MANNER FOR THAT CART. TRANSPORT IN SUCH AN UNAPPROVED MANNER VOIDS THE WARRANTY, AND THE SYSTEM WOULD BE CONSIDERED UNSAFE TO BE FLOWN AFTER SUCH AN UNAPPROVED TRANSPORT EVENT.
Use only the correct mating hardware. All associated rigging is the responsibility of others.
Correct use and seating of the Quick Release Push Lock Pins Used with all Versarray™ rigging hardware
When using the Quick Release Positive Lock Pins, when the Quick Release Push Lock Pins are inserted, they should be fully seated, so that the black shoulder near the end of the pin has been placed flush with the side of the bracket, or as far in as the pin hole cavity will allow it to be inserted.
You will have to fully depress the center push-button to do this.
You should not be able to pull these pins out unless the center push-button is fully depressed.
Versarray™ Mk3 Halo Use
Specific Instructions for flying and hanging the Versarray™ Mk III Halo will not be supplied. It provides and follows industry standards for attaching rigging and fly hardware, as well as providing for the currently popular practice of hanging the array via a single hang point that can be a suitably rated chain hoist motor system. Seek the recommendations of a certified structural engineer or an experienced rigging professional for any questions about this type of use of the Versarray™ Mk III Halo.
Instructions for maximizing the single point hang balance point options are provided in the Versarray™ Mk3 Halo Owner's Manual, due to the unique flexibility the Versarray™ system provides.
Hanging Versarray™112 Mk III Cabinets from a Versarray™ Mk III Halo
Assuming the Halo is in position just above the cabinet/s, on a motorized hoist or manually cranked hoist, proceed as follows.
- Remove the top front quick release lock pins, slide the front hang straps up and pin them in place using those pins, with the front hang straps extending upward. The strap should be sticking up approximately 2.13". Do this for both sides. See Fig.1 and 1a.

Figure 1

Figure 1a
Cabinet Hang
Strap
- Either lower the Versarray™ Mk III Halo to meet the cabinet, or raise the cabinet up to meet the Halo, with the cabinet straps guided into mating with the Halo ears on both sides at the same time. Pin the front straps in place using the pins from the Halo. See Fig. 2

Figure 2
- Remove the Pivot Bar hole pin, swing pivot bar up to mate with the center rear bottom Halo ear hole. The bottom hole on the Halo ear provides a zero angle between the Halo and the first cabinet, the upper hole an angle of 5 degrees between the Halo and the first cabinet. Pin the Pivot Bar to the desired hole using the pin from the Halo. See Fig. 3

Figure 3
- Adding the second Cabinet.
Remove the top front quick release lock pins, slide the front hang straps up and pin them in place extending upward. The strap should be sticking up approximately 2.13". Do this for both sides. See Fig.1 and 1a.
- Either lower the Halo and first cabinet to meet the second cabinet, or raise the second cabinet up to meet the first cabinet, with the second cabinet straps guided into mating with the first cabinet bottom strap slots. Pin the front straps in place using the pins from the first cabinet. See Fig. 4 and 4a.

Figure 4 Figure 4a

- Remove the Pivot Bar hole pin on the second cabinet, swing pivot bar up to mate with the Pivot Bar hole of the first cabinet. Pin the Pivot Bar into place using the bottom rear pin on the first cabinet. See Fig. 5 and 5a.

Figure 5

Figure 5a Alternate View

NOTE: Once the Pivot Bar hole pin is removed, the cabinet is free to swing through all possible angles, be sure to keep fingers, hands and your body out of the possible path of the cabinet hardware or the cabinet itself, to avoid injury.
With the first cabinet rigging in the default factory Lock position, that is, with the Angle Slider bracket lined up with it's arrow at LOCK, lined up with the LOCK arrow on the Angle Slider Rail, the angle between the first and second cabinets is not at a nominal set angle, it is an intermediate setting.
The angle the cabinets are set to can be read at the Angle arrow.
- The angle of the second cabinet can now be adjusted. To set the angle between the first cabinet and the second cabinet to a nominal amount, remove the Lock pin from the hole it is in, and slide the Angle Slider bracket. Angle Arrow to the desired angle as shown by the arrow labeled Angle on the Angle Slider Rail, and put a pin from the first cabinet (the one you removed from the Lock hole) into the Angle Pin hole on the Angle Slider bracket.
You can set the angle between the first cabinet and the second cabinet to be any of the following angles: 0 degrees, 2.5 degrees, 5 degrees, 7.5 degrees, 10 degrees, 12.5 degrees, and 15 degrees
As an example, see See Fig. 6, showing a set angle of 2.5 degrees.

Figure 6
The angle for 7.5 degrees uses a different 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.
This is why there is an arrow that is an offshoot of the Primary Angle arrow on the Angle Slider bracket, just below it, labeled 7.5 degrees. This is lined up with the arrow marked 7.5 degrees on the Angle Slider rail. See Fig. 7.

Figure 7
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 flown in the same array off of the same Halo should be located 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
Instead of following Step 6 (Hook-up Pivot Bar) and then Step 7 (Set Angle Between Cabinets), set the angle on the Angle Slider bracket and rail before un-pinning the Pivot Bar, and connecting it to the previous cabinet. Each method will work, but one will be more easily implemented with one person setting up the rig, versus having two or more people available.
Dismantling an Array
To take the line array down, you simply reverse the process, and remove one cabinet at a time, placing the rigging hardware into the nominal storage and transport positions.
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.

Figure 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.
The only exception is use of the Crest Audio® designed transport Carts, capable of transporting 4 Versarray™ 112 Mk III while in a straight line array configuration, with all cabinets set to 0 degrees. Instructions for the proper use of the Cart will be in the Cart Owner's manual.

SPECIAL NOTE: These settings have been carefully selected to provide the best performance the Versarray™ 112 Mk 3 system is capable of, and provide maximum 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 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.

Approximate a Bessel Using a Linkwitz-Riley and a PEQ
If you have filter sections to burn, then a Bessel filter can be approximated using a LR filter cascaded with a PEQ.
Using the -3 dB set point frequency of the Bessel high pass filter, multiply that times 0.667, and use that number to set a Linkwitz-Riley filter at its -6 dB set point.
Then, add a PEQ with the following parameters:
-1.5 dB, at 0.81 times the -3 dB set point of the Bessel filter, with a BW of 2.0 (or a Q of 0.667)
Example:
To approximate a 24 dB/oct. Bessel high pass filter set to a -3 dB point at 2700 kHz, set a LR24 to 1.80 kHz, and a PEQ to -1.5 dB at 2187 Hz, BW=2.0 (Q=0.667)
This makes the amplitude and phase come out very close to the Bessel responses.
More examples:
For a 24 dB/oct. Bessel high pass at 173 Hz, set a LR24 to 115 Hz, with a PEQ set to: -1.5 dB at 140 Hz, bw=2.0 (Q=0.667)
For a 24 dB/oct. Bessel low pass at 173 Hz, set a LR24 to 346 Hz, with a PEQ set to: -1.5 dB at 213 Hz, bw=2.0 ( Q= 0.667 )
Note: Bessel set point frequency is -3 dB down point using this formula, LR set point frequency is defined as -6 dB down point.
Limiter Settings for Processors Other Than Digitool
The drivers in the Versarray™ 112 Mk3 are professional grade and can take a lot of music power, as well as long term thermal exposure. In setting the limiting thresholds for systems other than the called out Digitool combined with the Crest power amps, the VR 112 Mk3 components can be protected by observing the following limits to the drive voltages applied.
12" Neo Black Widow® woofer can handle 500W continuous per the AES Std. 2-1984, which is conducted in free air for 2 hours. Within the cabinet and when combined with the heat from the ribbon tweeters, this is reduced to 400W very long term (8 hours or more).
At the nominal effective impedance of the woofer over it's operating band, this equates to a long term drive voltage of 51.0 VAC, and a peak signal capability of 114 VAC peak when the signal has a crest factor of 12 dB or more.
The RD ™ 2.6 Mk3 ribbon tweeters can handle 60W each continuous per the AES Std. 2-1984. Within the cabinet, and when combined with the heat from the woofer, this is reduced to 40W very long term (8 hours or more). At the nominal effective impedance of the ribbons over their operating band, this equates to a long term drive voltage of 33.4 VAC, and a peak signal capability of 80.8 VAC peak when the signal has a crest factor of 12 dB or more. Note that the tweeters are wired in series for a 16 ohm load.
It is recommended that the compressor/limiter settings be adjusted so that the long term power to the drivers does not exceed the maximum specified voltages, when those amplifier channels are loaded with the appropriate driver, and that the peak voltages are not allowed to exceed the recommended levels while the system is at the long term operating temperature.
We strongly recommend that a power amp be used with a peak voltage rating that is not substantially higher than the peak voltage rating of the driver it is connected to. There will be no further significant increase in SPL, and a much higher chance that an accident or mistake will damage the speaker system.
Paralleling Versarray™ 112 Mk3 drivers on one amp channel
The ribbon tweeters impedance is set permanently to 16 ohms. In 16 ohm impedance configuration, we do not recommend paralleling 8 cabinet's high frequency sections together off of one amplifier channel, even if the amp is rated for 2 ohm operation. This also applies to the 12" woofers, we do not recommend paralleling 4 cabinet's low frequency sections together.
In general, avoid loading a 2 ohm rated amp all the way down to 2 ohms, the Versarray™ 112 Mk 3 system is revealing enough to highlight any roughness or harshness when the amp is on the edge of it's capabilities. We recommend keeping the amp load above 2.6 ohms when the amp is rated for 2 ohm operation.
Versarray™ Driver Components Maximum Input Voltages
Versarray™ 218 Mk3 Subwoofer: 89 VRMS continuous, 178 VRMS peak or momentary (with proper infrasonic and low pass filters engaged)
Versarray™ 112 Mk3 Woofer: 57 VRMS continuous, 114 VRMS peak or momentary (with proper band pass crossover filters used)
Versarray™ 112 Mk3 Tweeters:
16 ohm impedance configuration: 40.4 VRMS continuous, 80.8 VRMS peak or momentary (with proper high pass crossover filter used)
We strongly recommend that a power amp be used with a peak voltage rating that is not substantially higher than the peak voltage rating of the driver it is connected to. There will be no further significant increase in SPL, and a much higher chance that an accident or mistake will damage the speaker system.
