Peavey VSX 26 Speaker User Manual


 
Line curvature, or splay between cabinets
Splaying the line will tend to require more level increase from the tweeters, and some
more cut EQ at 1.8 kHz.
A uniform splay of 2.5 degrees between cabinets for an 8 cabinet array would need
approximately 2 dB of tweeter boost, and 0.5 dB of 12” woofer level increase, relative
to a subwoofer level. A uniform splay of 5 degrees per cabinet for an 8 cabinet array
would require approximately 5 dB of tweeter level boost, and approx. 1 dB of 12”
woofer level increase, relative to a subwoofer.
Complete processor settings for the recommended 2.5 degree continuous
curvature with 6 Versarray 112 cabinets and one Versarray 218 Sub:
Front End EQ (before the crossover section) = PEQ –4.0 dB @ 2k, bw= 0.7 (or use
1/3 octave band 2 kHz set to –2.5 dB AND 1/3 octave band 1.6 kHz set to –2 dB)
Infrasonic filtering: 24 dB/oct. LR @ 34 Hz)
Crossover settings: Woofer= 24 dB/oct. LR @ 2.0 kHz, Tweeter= 24 dB/oct. Bessel
@ 3.0 kHz, Woofer Polarity Normal, Tweeter Polarity Normal
EQ after crossover:
Woofer EQ = PEQ +1.5 dB @ 560 Hz, bw=0.5; PEQ -3.5 dB @ 850 Hz, bw=0.5
PEQ +3dB @ 115 Hz, bw= 2; PEQ –1.5 dB @ 2.2 kHz, bw=.7;
PEQ –2 dB @ 700 Hz, bw=3.0 Woofer Delay = 0.0 ms (none)
Tweeter EQ: PEQ –3 dB @ 2.7 kHz, bw= 0.7; PEQ +2.5 dB @ 4.6 kHz, bw= 1.0;
PEQ +3.5 dB @ 16.5 kHz, bw=1.0 Tweeter Delay = 0.0 ms (none)
Sub to Woofer Crossover: Sub= 24 dB/oct. LR @ 125Hz, Woofer= 24 dB/oct LR @
100Hz, Sub Polarity Normal, Woofer Polarity Normal
Sub EQ: PEQ +4.0 dB @ 50 Hz, bw= 0.7; PEQ -2.5 dB @ 100 Hz, bw= 0.5
Level Settings (for same model of power amp, with all channels set to the same
voltage gain): One Versarray
218 Sub = +4 dB
Versarray 112: Woofer= 0.0 dB, Tweeter= +8.5 dB (for ribbons wired 16 ohms)
SPECIAL NOTE: Versarray 218 Sub is in 4 ohm mode (woofers paralleled).
If the Versarray
218 Sub woofers are driven separately, using an amp with the
same gain as all the other amps, then drive level does not increase.
