[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 48331, member: 277"] Re: Peavey Versarray? OK guys I finally got to try out the VRay this weekend. We ran 6 boxes flown outdoors processed with a DBX 480 and powered by Crest 7001 amps. I am going to assume the processing was wrong and this was not a good demo. I am planning to bring the system to Atlanta in a week or two and go through each box and then hire Phil to set it up so I can at least give it a fair shot before I dismiss it. I really want to like it. It took quite a bit of EQ cutting in the 500hz through 3K range to tune it and most likely as a result the system headroom was just not there.
