Harmonic Distortion
Second and third harmonic distortions vs. frequency are plotted
in figures 5 & 6 for two power levels. Those levels are one watt
of input power and ten watts of input power, to the woofer, at 1
kHz. Distortion is read from the graph as the difference between
the fundamental signal (frequency response) and the desired
harmonic. As an example, a distortion curve that is down 40 dB
from the fundamental is equivalent to 1% distortion.
Mounting
Caution: Before attempting to suspend this speaker,
consult a certified structural engineer. Speaker can fall
from improper suspension, resulting in serious injury and
property damage. Other enclosures may be suspended below
one. See the Owner's Manual/Spec Sheet for the appropriate fly
bar being used, for safety ratings and limits.
Maximum enclosure angle 45°. Use only the correct mating
hardware. All associated rigging is the responsibility of others.
Architectural & 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 a 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 MK2 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
56 pounds. The loudspeaker system shall be a Peavey model
Versarray 112 MK2.
Caution! Important Safety Information:
CAUTION ! Before attempting to suspend this speaker,
consult 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.
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, or fly bar, and the hardware should
be checked for tightness.
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 USE THE COUPLING BRACKETS OR
THE PULL-BACK BAR AS HANDLES TO TRANSPORT THE
CABINETS! USE THE HANDLES BUILT-IN TO THE ENDS/
SIDES OF THE CABINETS FOR TRANSPORT.
Failure to follow proper rigging specifications listed in this
manual may result in injury or death.
CAUTION: ALWAYS USE SAFETY CHAIN AND INSPECT RIGGING
ANNUALLY
The Versarray
™
112 Mk2 normally has the coupling brackets mated
to the cabinet brackets by using the supplied Grade 5, 1/4" X 20
bolts. If these bolts are used for a permanent installation, we
recommend the use of a thread-locking compound on the
threads once the final angles of the array have been determined.
If using the optional 1/4" diameter Quick Release Positive Lock
Pins, when the Quick Release Positive Lock Pins are inserted, they
should be fully seated, so that the black shoulder near the middle
of the pin has been placed flush with the side of the bracket. 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.
If you desire to use the Quick Release Positive Lock Pins instead
of bolts for the coupling brackets on the Versarray
™
112 Mk2, they
are Peavey service part number 31501056, and Accessory part
number 00594020 (This is a set of four pins).
NOTICE: The Quick Release Positive Lock Pins from the
Versarray
™
200 series WILL NOT fit into the rigging system holes
on the Versarray
™
100 series. The Versarray
™
200 series uses
3/8" diameter pins, and the Versarray
™
100 series uses 1/4"
diameter pins.
The Versarray
™
112 Mk2 loudspeaker system modules ship with
Grade 5, 1 / 4" X 20 bolts to connect the coupling brackets to the
cabinets, the Quick Release Positive Lock Pins are an accessory
option for use on the coupling brackets. The Versarray
™
Model
25 Halo / Array Fly Bar ships with three Quick Release Positive
Lock Pins per side to couple to the first cabinet’s coupling plate.
The Versarray
™
Model 25 Pull-Back Bar/ Small Array Fly Bar
ships with one Quick Release Positive Lock Pin per side to
couple to the first or last cabinet’s coupling plate.
If you are not sure how to assemble the rigging or how to fly the
array once it has been arrayed, consult a certified structural
engineer.
DO NOT OVER-TORQUE HARDWARE.
CAUTION: ALWAYS USE SAFETY CHAIN
INSPECT RIGGING ANNUALLY
Warning! Do not feed a full-range signal to the tweeters in
the Versarray 112! This could damage the tweeters and/or the
driving amplifier!
These ribbon tweeter diaphragms are transformer coupled to the
power amp, and present a very low impedance load below 300
Hz.
