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. I would consider Evan's running out of gas for an accoustic show comments to be understated based on this demo. Now for the interesting part. 1k-4k was all over the map in horizontal coverage but never really varying more than 3 or 4 db max in any specific frequency range. Pink noise was swishy swashy walking side to side anywhere in the 50 to 150 feet back area I tested. That being said, listening to several CD's of music the sound was crystal clear and very pleasant anywhere I stood. Slightly different tonally every few feet but always a nice smooth overall sound. It was a case of measuring bad but sounding good. I would have written a check if the headroom was there. I could not get the system above 98db A weighted at 75 feet without it breaking up. Like I said I am pretty shure the processing was incorrect and there might have been a bad driver or two so I will post again in a few weeks when I get a chance to sort everything out and try again.
