Crest Audio debuts Versarray Pro powered line array

Seen for the first time anywhere, Crest Audio’s Versarray Pro powered line array, has made its market entrance at ProLight + Sound 2018. Comprising the Versarray Pro VR112 line array element

and the VR-Pro 215 sub, Versarray Pro is aimed at all mid-sized line array applications including live entertainment, theatres, houses of worship and more. With integrated Dante audio networking, built-in DSP, innovative flying hardware and world class components, the Versarray Pro powered line array delivers premium quality audio in a versatile, easy-to-set-up, networkable package.

The VR112 benefits from Crest Audio’s latest-generation Mark III ribbon drivers and proprietary Clear Form Waveguide for crystalline high-end reproduction. The low end is served by the 12in Neo Black Widow neodymium loudspeaker with dual 4in voice coils which works in conjunction with Crest’s patented Ram Air Cooling (RAC) design for even greater efficiency and power handling. The compact, flyable VR-Pro 215 sub, also with RAC design, features dual 15in Black Widow Low Rider drivers and delivers full power down to 35 Hz and a peak SPL of 135dB. Both elements benefit from 3000 W of available dynamic power.

In terms of rigging, Versarray Pro is a fully articulating array thanks to an ingenious, easy-to-adjust 3-pin system on the back, which enables a range of configurations that are simply unachievable in other comparably priced systems. The result is near-perfect coverage and audio quality across a vast range of applications. Furthermore, Versarray Pro includes Auto-Hang DSP technology, a quick and easy push-button control option that allows users to adjust the array according to the number of cabinets in the array, speaker positioning and more. Combined with the innovative FlyQWIK hardware, a Versarray Pro system can be accurately deployed in a fraction of the time required by competing systems.

As an active system, Versarray Pro features sophisticated on-board DSP processing including FIR filtering. Certain parameters may be accessed from the back panel for quick and easy initial set-up, or indeed the whole system may be configured and controlled remotely via a dedicated Window-based software utility. Dante network control and audio are delivered via a single CAT5/6 cable, and redundant analogue connections have also been included for rock-solid reliability.
