Crest Audio Set for Inaugural Loudspeaker Showcase at 2019 NAMM Show Crest Audio, a Peavey Commercial Audio brand, is set to bring big sound to the 2019 NAMM Show during the inaugural Loudspeaker System Showcase. For the first time, the NAMM Show will present a showcase of line array and loudspeaker technologies hosted in the real-world environment of the Anaheim Convention Center Arena. Crest Audio is proud to participate in this groundbreaking, roof-raising showcase, and will display two topline pro-audio solutions: Versarray PRO powered line array system from Crest Audio and RBN Series speaker enclosures from Peavey Electronics. Taking place Thursday, January 24, through Saturday, January 26, the Loudspeaker System Showcase will be a formidable opportunity for manufacturers to reach new potential customers from across the US and beyond. The event will include two compact system showcases per day, as well as one portable system showcase per day. This is a departure from years past when NAMM organizers monitored how loud exhibitors could be. Participating manufacturers will now have the environment to demonstrate their product is a real life scenario. This event has been organized in collaboration with the producers of Live Sound International Magazine and will take place just a few steps away from the pro-audio hall within ACC North. In addition to the round robin demos, Crest Audio has scheduled three specific demo dates and times so that attendees can specifically hear its products: Thursday, January 24, at 1:00pm, Friday January 25, at 4:20pm, and Saturday January 26, at 5:00pm. All times are in the arena, where Crest Audio will be stationed in booth A9. For the compact system showcase, Crest Audio will be flying the Versarray VR112 PRO line array cabinets and will pair them with Versarray VR-PRO 215 subwoofers. The VR112 PRO features Crest Audio's latest-generation Mark III ribbon drivers and proprietary CLEAR FORM Waveguide for crystalline high-end reproduction. The low end is supported by a 12" NEO Black Widow neodymium loudspeaker with dual 4" voice coils, which work in conjunction with Crest Audio's Ram Air Cooling (RAC) design for even greater efficiency and power handling. The compact, flyable VR-PRO 215 sub, also with RAC design and the UniVent venting system, features dual 15" Black Widow Low Rider drivers and delivers full power down to 35Hz and a peak SPL of 135dB. Both elements benefit from 3,000W of available dynamic power and are Dante-enabled. Combined with the innovative FlyQWIK hardware, the Versarray PRO system can be accurately deployed in a fraction of the time required by competing systems. The portable showcase will feature Peavey's RBN 112 speaker enclosure and RBN 215 powered subwoofer. Combining best-in-class audio quality with Peavey's reliability, RBN enclosures feature an internal temperature monitor with a variable speed cooling fan, level and clip indication to ensure optimal performance, and a user-friendly setup wizard. The 1,500W RBN 112 speaker enclosure features Peavey's proprietary 120mm true ribbon high-frequency driver on a low-coloration wave guide. The company says "this technology results is crystal-clear audio that no other traditional compression driver can rival." Meanwhile, the RBN 215 sub maintains full output down to 36Hz with 2,000W total peak power. Constructed of heavily braced 18mm birch plywood, the RBN 215 sub is designed for years of rock-solid low-end reliability.
