SOFTWARE CONTROL
All parameters of the Versadrive can be controlled via PC.
Not only is this extremely convenient, but a clear central graphical representation of your EQ and crossover points are displayed. This also makes light work of copying channel settings and organising your presets.
Using the PC software also allows for system backups to be made.
EFFECTS TO CONTROL YOUR RIG
A huge selection of effects are at your fingertips.
The input side includes Gain, Mute, Link, High-pass filter, Low-pass filter, Noise Gate, 8-band parametric EQ, 31 band graphic EQ, Phase and Delay.
For the output section, make your setup using any combination of Crossover, 5-band parametric EQ, Gain, Mute, Compressor / Limiter, Phase, Delay and Linking.
EXPAND YOUR RIG
While one Versadrive is powerful in its own right, the RS485 connection opens up capabilities to link up to 255 units, with remote control from up-to 1500 metres.
Complete stadiums, superclubs or any multi-room install is now easily managed by one person on their laptop. The USB connection and supplied software work as another visual aid with access to update your own presets for different events.
DSP QUALITY
All Versadrive models features the highest quality 24-bit 96 KHz AD/DA convertors and the internal DSP is handled by a 40-bit processor.
From input and output phase adjustment, delay timing, compression, limiting, parametric EQ, and multiple choices of HP and LP filtering, it’s easy to tweak the parameters until the system is perfectly balanced.
