[NAMM] Peavey VersArray 212

Engineered for large coverage with companion Versarray 218 and 118 subwoofers, the new Versarray 212 is a three-way enclosure featuring 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. 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 articulation from each 13-ply Baltic birch, 2×12 enclosure with Peavey’s bracket-and-pin flying hardware, allowing users to adjust these systems incrementally from 0 to 10 degrees.

Peavey’s 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 more efficiency and higher power handling.

Peavey Versarray 212 line-array enclosure will be available from authorized Peavey retailers in Quarter two 2008.
