This paper presents and analyzes blue and red-wavelength high-resolution spectra of twelve chromospherically active binary or triple systems with composite spectra. Spectral classifications for the individual stellar components are derived by means of the 'spectrum-synthesis' technique and are compared to stellar evolutionary models and observed masses and/or mass ratios. Also presented is a carefully selected set of MK reference stars of luminosity class III, IV, and V, and spectral type A9-K5, and v sin i less than 10 km/s, to cover the spectral range of the components of chromospherically active binary systems of the RS CVn-type. New values of v sin i are determined for some of the reference and program stars. Two spectroscopic binaries have been discovered.
