SPECIAL NOTE: These settings have been carefully selected to
provide the best performance the Versarray
™
112 Mk2system
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.
† SPECIAL NOTE: Versarray
218 Sub is in 4 ohm mode (woofers
paralleled).
If the Versarray
218 Sub woofers are driven separately, using an
amp with the same gain as all the other amps, then drive level to
the separate woofers is the same.
To convert the above drive levels for a single Versarray
218 Sub to
drive levels suitable for a single Versarray
118 Sub, add 6 dB.
When doubling the number of Subs, subtract 6 dB for each time
they are doubled.
‡ SPECIAL NOTE: To match this PEQ setting with a 1/3 octave
band EQ, use the following:
To equate to a PEQ setting of –3 dB @ 1.8k, bw= 0.58, use 1/3
octave band 2 kHz set to –1.5 dB AND 1/3 octave band 1.6 kHz
also set to –1.5 dB
To equate to a PEQ setting of –3.5 dB @ 1.8k, bw= 0.58, use 1/3
octave band 2 kHz set to –2 dB AND 1/3 octave band 1.6 kHz set
to –1.5 dB
To equate to a PEQ setting of –4 dB @ 1.8k, bw= 0.707, use 1/3
octave band 2 kHz set to –2.0 dB AND 1/3 octave band 1.6 kHz
set to –2.0 dB
To equate to a PEQ setting of –4.5 dB @ 1.8k, bw= 0.707, use 1/3
octave band 2 kHz set to –2.5 dB AND 1/3 octave band 1.6 kHz
set to –2.0 dB

Line curvature, or splay between cabinets
Splaying the line will tend to require more level increase from
the tweeters, and some more cut EQ at 1.8 kHz.
