Subs
Please contact Peavey Electronics for the latest information.
One Versarray 212 Enclosure w/ One Versarray 218
(For reference purposes only, you should use more than
one Versarray 212 cabinet so as to create a line array. We
recommend a minimum of four Versarray 212 cabinets.)

Versarray
SPECIAl NOTE: These settings have been carefully selected to
provide the best performance the Versarray 212 system is capable
of, and provide maximum sound quality with high 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.

location.
Level = - 2.5 dB
Note: The VSX 26 has a front end Global EQ section, consisting
of 27 bands of 1/3 octave EQ, which function just like a classic
analog 1/3 oct. band EQ. The Digitool has 5 bands of PEQ (as well
as the other filter/EQ type functions) at the front end.
Rather than change the main crossover and EQ settings, we make
the adjustments for differing numbers of cabinets primarily via

this frontend or global EQ.
