SPECIFICATIONS        Versarray

 112 Mk2

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.

If there is any chance that trained personnel are not going to be 

connecting and operating the system, then it would be 

advisable to place a high quality polypropylene film cap in series 

with the tweeters, 40 uF for a 4 ohm wiring, and 10 uF for a 16 

ohm wiring.

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 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.

SPECIFICATIONS: 

The Versarray 112 Mk2 Ribbon Tweeter Line Source Array module

 

consists of a 12" Neo Black Widow® woofer combined with a

 

Neodymium based Peavey RD™ 2.6 ribbon tweeter in a cabinet 
with a highly flexible rigging system.  
Designed to provide modular coverage of small to medium venues, 

and intended for use with the companion Versarray Sub models, the 

Versarray 112 Mk2 offers extreme versatility for such 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 ribbon tweeters utilizing a composite sandwich ribbon, a 

Neodymium magnet system, and a low distortion waveguide.  The 

new ribbon tweeters handle 50% more power than the original 

versions, and provide 2 dB more sensitivity, increasing reliability and 

HF output capacity. The new Mk 2 version also now has the tough 
Hammerhead

 

™ polyurea textured black finish instead of acrylic 

paint.Full range input connection to the system is made via two 4 
pin Neutrik® Speakon® jacks.  The total impedance presented by 

the ribbons can be adjusted to 16 ohms or 4 ohms via an internal 

jumper on the input cup, providing flexibility in how a line array is 

wired for amplifier use.  Peavey’s proprietary protection circuitry, 
Sound Guard

 

 

, provides long and medium term driver overload 

protection for the tweeter without impairing musical transients or 

dynamics.   The adjustable 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 7.5 degrees in 2.5 degree increments.  Total angle 

between two cabinets is 15 degrees.  This provides the capability to 

create a completely straight line array of 6 or more modules, or a 

curved array of 6 or more modules, with a recommended maximum 

total of 5 degrees of angle between each module for continuous 

and even coverage, for a total vertical coverage pattern of up to 40 

degrees, or somewhere in between a 5 degree pattern (straight line 

array) and a 40 degree pattern (8 cabinets with 5 degree curve).

Bolts are supplied with the rigging hardware to couple the

 

Versarray

 

 112 Mk2modules together and lock the angles

between them into place, but optional quick release pins

 

are 

available for quick and easy field adjustments or re-

configurations of a line array. 

The flexibility of the Versarray system allows the use of

 

anywhere from 1 to 16 Versarray 112 Mk2 modules in 

conjunction with anything from one Versarray 118 Sub to as 

many Versarray 218 Subs as you can power! 
An optional special bracket set mounts to the Versarray 218 Sub, 

and allows up to three of the Versarray 112 Mk2’s to be mounted 

on top of the Versarray 218 Sub, and angled upward, for use on 

stage in a stadium seating situation.
In addition, a lift kit co-designed with Vermette, and available as 

an accessory, can elevate up to six Versarray 112 Mk2  modules 

13 feet high above a 218 sub, then fold down for easy transport 

and storage.
