READY FOR ANY RIG
As the name suggests, versatility has been executed into all aspects of design with 6 balanced XLR outputs working independently for use with any combination of loudspeakers. The crossover features linkwitz-riley, bessel and butterworth modes all of which can be used in typical stereo crossover formations, or as individual high-pass and low-pass filters on each channel. The output EQ offers a variety of modes including low-shelf, high-shelf and parametric with the central control making an ease of pinpointing exact frequency adjustments.

COMPLETE CONTROL, IN THE RIGHT HANDS
For complete peace of mind, limiting options combined with password locking offer complete protection. Out of the box the Versadrive SC-26 comes equipped with optimised settings for popular Wharfedale Pro loudspeaker configurations including WLA, Delta and EVP-X MKII. A total of 30 save slots make valuable time savers for the engineer who may be faced with many different environments while on tour. The ability to copy channel parameters is yet another convenience making an ultra-efficient workflow you can edit in seconds.

CONTROL EVERYTHING VIA PC
All elements of the Versadrive SC-26 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.
