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

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.
