Peavey proudly introduces the new three-way Versarray™ 212 line-array enclosure, featuring planar ribbon drivers, neodymium woofers and exclusive adjustment technology to set a new benchmark for high fidelity, high-level sound reinforcement.
The Peavey Versarray is the exclusive sound system of the Jagermeister® Mobile Stage on this summer's Rockstar® Mayhem® tour, which will feature Peavey artists Slipknot, Dragonforce, Machine Head, Black Tide and The Red Chord. Two Peavey Versarray systems are also on the road this summer with country superstar Tim McGraw's three-stage Live Your Voice tour.
Since debuting in 2006, the innovative Peavey Versarray line-array system has been featured at major concert venues such as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and the Chicago Blues Festival, and in world-class music venues like Ground Zero Blues Club, the Mississippi Delta blues juke joint co-owned by Morgan Freeman.
Engineered for optimum coverage in large performance venues with companion Versarray 218 and 118 subwoofers, the new Versarray 212 enclosure offers extreme versatility in the most demanding sound-reinforcement applications. This three-way enclosure features two 12" Black Widow® woofers with dual 4" ribbon-wire voice coils and a symmetrical-drive neodymium magnet design, plus ten 2.5" Neo midrange drivers and four exclusive waveguide-mounted planar ribbon drivers with a flat radiating surface for the highest possible fidelity. The Versarray 212 is rated at 4,000 watts peak handling for the low frequencies and 800 watts peak each for the midrange and high frequencies.
The Versarray system allows maximum articulation from each 13-ply Baltic birch, 2x12 enclosure with Peavey's exclusive bracket-and-pin flying hardware. This highly flexible rigging system allows users to adjust these systems incrementally from 0 to 10 degrees, providing a multitude of array possibilities.
Peavey's patent-pending Ram Air Cooling™ design, a dissipation process that radiates heat away from the voice coil and speaker cone, works in conjunction with neodymium-loaded, 12" NEO Black Widow loudspeakers featuring dual 4" voice coils for greater efficiency and power handling, and overall improved performance over conventional cone-type transducers.
