Winter NAMM: Versarray Launches Peavey Into Line Array Market
January 18, 2007
ANAHEIM, Calif. (Winter NAMM exhibit #5740) - Peavey proudly introduces its Versarray Series line array enclosures. Featuring ribbon drivers, neodymium magnets, exclusive angle-adjustment technology and multiple rigging options, Peavey Versarray enclosures mark the company's bold debut into the high-end line array market.
Versarray Series enclosure modules utilize special bracket-and-pin flying hardware in a highly flexible rigging system that allows full articulation of the top boxes. With this rigging system, users can adjust two modules away from each other in 2 ½-degree increments from 0 to 15 degrees, providing for a classic straight-line array configuration or a number of angling options.
Peavey offers an optional mounting pole for the Versarray 118 subwoofer that can support a two-box array, while the 218 subwoofer has an optional ground-stacking kit that will support up to four modules and allow for full articulation. In addition, a crankable tower lift co-designed with Vermette can elevate up to six modules 13 feet above a 218 sub, then fold down for easy transport and storage. These items are available as accessories to Versarray enclosures.
The Versarray 112 ribbon-driver line array utilizes a high-performance, lightweight 12" Neo Black Widow® woofer featuring a 4" voice coil with a neodymium magnet structure in a 13-ply Baltic birch enclosure. The Versarray 112 offers extreme versatility and performance in modular coverage of small- to medium-sized venues (10,000 capacity), and is intended for use with Versarray 118 or 218 subs. Sound Guard™, Peavey's proprietary protection circuitry, provides long- and medium-term driver overload protection without impairing musical transients or dynamics.
Designed for the most demanding pro-audio applications, the Versarray 118 and 218 are vented subwoofers incorporating Peavey's ultra-high power Lo Max® 18" woofer into a 13-ply Baltic birch cabinet. The 218 model also features Peavey's patented UniVent™ venting system, which uses an exclusive process to literally pump air through the enclosure, maintaining cool operating temperatures, increasing reliability and reducing power compression under heavy continuous-drive conditions.
Peavey Versarray Series enclosures are available now from authorized Peavey retailers.
