The Versarray™ Pro 218 Sub Powered Subwoofer speaker system consists of a pair of 18″ Low Rider® woofers combined with a super-solid cabinet with a simple, quick, yet flexible rigging system.  Designed to provide modular coverage of small to medium venues, and intended for use with the companion Versarray™ Pro 112 models, the Versarray™ Pro 218 Sub offers excellent versatility with a very high performance capability. The subwoofer system consists of the following woofer components: a pair of 18″ Low Rider® series woofers with a very long throw 4″ voice coil structure. Capable of over 800W of continuous power handling (AES Std 2-1984) each, these woofers can project a lot of low frequency energy. 

The Versarray™ Pro 218 Sub incorporates Peavey’s UniVent™ air pumping venting system.  The UniVent™ venting system literally pumps air through the enclosure, exchanging the stale hot air inside the cabinet for the cooler outside air. This helps keep the woofer operating temperatures from getting so high, and increases reliability and reduces power compression under heavy continuous drive conditions. The air pumping action is achieved without excessive turbulence or any significant net asymmetry of total vent air flow.

Power for both woofers is supplied by some very efficient power amplifier systems, controlled by a sophisticated and refined DSP operations system with Dante connection capability.  Total system power is 3000W total peak power, with 1500W total sine wave power for the woofers. This sheer power is controlled precisely and processed by a high performance DSP system, which provides all the crossover and EQ functions, as well as providing all limiting, compression and driver protection duties with unfailing attention to every detail of the music.

An optional special groundstack bracket set mounts to the Versarray 218 Pro Sub, and allows up to three of the Versarray™ Pro 112’s to be mounted on top of the Versarray 218 Pro Sub, and angled upward, for use on stage in a stadium seating situation. 

Two versions of the NexSys Nx-8 Network Audio Interface modules are available supporting Dante and CobraNet steaming audio protocols. Both cards deliver eight (8) channels of streaming audio to Crest Audio networkable power amplifiers.

The adjustable rigging system provides for hanging multiple Versarray™ Pro 112 cabinets below a single Sub, or multiple Subs.  Quick-lock pins are supplied with the rigging hardware to couple the Versarray™ Pro 215 Subs together, and to the rigging Halo and Frames.  The flexibility of the Versarray™ FlyQWIK™ system allows the use of anywhere from 1 to 5 Versarray™ Pro 215 Subs in conjunction with an appropriate number of Versarray™ Pro 112 cabinets.

An optional special Sub Support Frame rigging adaptor mounts to the Versarray™ 215 Pro Sub, and allows Versarray™ Pro 112’s to be flown below the Sub, with the Sub being flown from a Versarray™ Halo.   See Crest Audio® Model Versarray™ Mk3 Halo Spec Sheet for details of the allowable mix of Versarray™ Subs to 2-ways.

The Versarray™ Pro 112 Powered Ribbon Tweeter Line Source Array speaker system consists of a 12″ Neo Black Widow® woofer combined with a Neodymium based Peavey RD™ 2.6 ribbon tweeter in a cabinet with a simple, quick, yet flexible rigging system.  Designed to provide modular coverage of small to medium venues, and intended for use with the companion Versarray™ Pro Sub models, the Versarray™ Pro 112 offers excellent versatility with a very 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.

Power for bi-amping is supplied by some very efficient power amplifier systems, controlled by a sophisticated and refined DSP operations system with Dante connection capability.  Total system power is 3400W total peak power, with 2000W peak power for the woofer, and 1400W total peak power for the two ribbon tweeters. This sheer power is controlled precisely and processed by a high performance DSP system, which provides all the crossover and EQ functions, as well as providing all limiting, compression and driver protection duties with unfailing attention to every detail of the music.

A unique set of control buttons on the rear panel allow analog signal input and use without the need for a network controller, by setting the system for typical use situations via push-button.  This feature allows the use of the system without the requirement for a full-blown digital networking controller or system.

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 possible between two cabinets is 15 degrees.

Quick-lock pins are supplied with the rigging hardware to couple the Versarray™ Pro 112 modules together and lock the angles between them into place, as well as for the rigging halo and fly bar configurations of a line array. The flexibility of the Versarray system allows the use of anywhere from 1 to 10 Versarray™ Pro 112 modules in conjunction with anything from one Versarray 118 Pro Sub to as many Versarray 218 or 215 Pro Subs as you can!

The company’s Class D-based amplification products are engineered to meet the demands of portable and fixed installation audio systems. Crest Audio, part of the Peavey Electronics family of brands, says the ProTour line of amplifiers includes a choice of four models. Some of the options built into ProTour line of amps include a powerful DSP engine with sampling rates as high as 24-bit/96kHz and high-performance 24-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converters. Crest Audio explains that through the amplifiers’ internal DSP options, professional integrators have the ability to configure and optimize audio systems. DSP-based configuration options the amps offer include IR HP/LP crossover filters, RMS compressor, parametric equalization (EQ), alignment delays, and white and pink noise generators. At the heart of the ProTour line of amplifiers is a switch-mode power supply and Class D circuit that incorporates full-bandwidth PWM modulators that facilitate the amps’ operation with built-in circuit protection. The amps’ clip/limiter function provides output monitoring to prevent speaker damage with “gentle” gain reduction at clipping thresholds, as well as heat dissipation and overheat protection. Other options built into the amplifiers include user defined parameters, source input selection and loadable presets via the amps’ front-panel LCD screens, and Dante digital audio modules that enable primary and redundant network connectivity with the ability to monitor the products. The Crest Audio line of ProTour Amplifiers offer a choice of these models:
