A B C & D INPUTS:

Input sensitivity switches between -10 dBV or +4 dBV inputs. The +4 dB position should be considered the "normal" position and should be used with professional systems. The -10 dB position allows the unit to be driven with "hi-fi" level equipment or directly from a CD player. The input signal must be from a balanced source.

Mute toggle on/off.

Analog/digital operation is selectable on input A.

Level controls digital processing headroom and is adjustable from 0 dB through -100 dB. This adjustment is best left as high as possible but may be adjusted as necessary.

Trim is variable from -6 dB to +6 dB and is used to match analog input sensitivity as necessary.

Exit this screen by selecting "Done" and pressing the data wheel or pressing the "setup" button.

ST/M:

Toggles between Stereo and Mono. Selecting Stereo associates the A/B channel inputs. It does not affect the output channels. When engaged in "stereo" adjusting a parameter on channel A will make a corresponding adjustment on Ch B as well as C and D inputs (when they are in stereo). This may be most useful when adjusting PEQs, Delay or Dynamic settings. Preliminary adjustments can be made to both channels in this manner and then the switch can be toggled to mono allowing further independent adjustment of single inputs. The switch may be toggled again to link up the dynamic sections for stereo tracking of the comp/limiters.

MIC:

Dynamics

DYNAMICS:

Inputs A B C & D or outputs 1-8 should be selected on the top of the screen. While on the top of the screen push the data wheel and an arrow appears. Rotate the wheel to select which input or output you wish to adjust and press the data wheel. Dynamics in the input channels may be linked in pairs for stereo tracking on the Input pages on the Setup/Configuration screen. Most users should use the dynamics on the outputs as Limiters to protect speakers and amplifiers and as compressors on the inputs should this type of tonal modification be necessary.

THRESHOLD:

The threshold is adjustable in .5 dB steps from -76 dBu to +24 dBu. This control determines the minimum level when the compressor begins to limit the dynamic range. The compressor has no effect on the signal as long as the signal strength is below the threshold point. Once it passes the threshold point, the compressor begins to limit the dynamic range of the output according to the value set by the Ratio control.

A B C D 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 THRESH +24.0 DBU GAIN RATIO 1:1 0.00 dB ATTACK 50.000 RELEASE 500 ms OUT

RATIO:

The ratio determines how strong the limiting becomes once the threshold is crossed. Values of 1:1 (no compression) to 20:1 are possible. Ratios of 10:1 and above should be selected for speaker protection.

ATTACK:

The attack function sets the amount of time for the compressor to respond once the threshold has been crossed. Specifying this value allows the user to determine whether the compressor responds as a peak or RMS unit as very short attack times consider only peaks while times above 50 ms average these peaks and result in RMS response. We recommend attack times of between 50 ms - 100 ms be used when setting the limiters to protect the speakers from being overdriven by the power amps. It is the average power long term that causes speaker burn out. The transient peaks usually cause little damage if kept inside the speaker's band limits.

PEAVEY VSX 48 - ATTACK: - 1

Dynamics

RELEASE:

The Release value sets the amount of time for the compressor to recover from the compressed state once the level falls below the threshold level. We recommend release times of 5x to 10x the Attack time in normal use.

GAIN:

This adjustment serves to compensate for the loss in average signal strength due to compression. The range is -100 dB to +30 dB.

IN/OUT:

This button toggles to bypass the dynamics section.

XOver Screen

The output channel numbers appear across the top of the screen. Depending on the configuration template chosen they may appear together as blocks representing 2-way, 3-way or 4-way crossovers or singly as a Bandpass filter. After making a selection rotate the data wheel to adjust parameters.

Each bandpass filter associated with the crossover is represented graphically on the screen. The two slopes represent the lower and upper frequencies of the bandpass and the plateau represents the level of the bandpass. The intersection of slopes represents the electrical crossover point(s).

TYPE:

Available filters are: Flat, Butterworth 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, and 48 dB/oct.; Bessell 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42 and 48 dB/oct; Linkwitz-Riley 12, 24, 36 and 48 dB/oct. The user is free to mix and match filter types to create symmetrical or asymmetrical crossovers.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 OUT1 OUT2 TYPE: FLAT FREQ: 20 Hz

FREQUENCY:

The VSX ^™ is a very powerful tool and as such the frequency points are independent, allowing over-lapping or under-lapping as the system may require. The lowest and highest slopes in the chain are useful as high and low system cutoff filters to prevent low frequency rumble and speaker over excursion

as well as high frequency interference. The filter points are selectable in 1 Hz steps from 20 Hz to 20kHz. They may also be selected in the setup/configuration screen.

LEVEL:

The levels of the crossover sections are independently adjustable from -15 dB to +15 dB in .5 dB steps. Move the indicator to the plateau and the level parameter appears.

Delay Screen

Inputs A B C & D or outputs 1-8 should be selected on the top of the screen. While on the top of the screen push the data wheel and an arrow appears. Rotate the wheel to select which input or output you wish to adjust. Push the data wheel to accept. Normally the output delays are used to align the phase response of the drivers in a system while the input delays are useful for adding delay to the entire system(s).

A B C D 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 IN INPUT A DELAY: NORM 0.00 MS 0.00 FEET 0.00 METERS

IN/OUT:

Toggles to engage or bypass the delay

NORM/REVERSE:

Toggles to invert the polarity from the present state. It may become necessary to flip the polarity many times while adjusting the delay time or adjusting the cut-off rate of the filters. It is conveniently located on this page for that purpose.

DELAY:

Adds delay to the selected input or output. The delay is displayed in milliseconds, feet and meters and automatically calculates each as the data wheel is rotated. The range of each delay is 340 ms, 379.09 feet and 115.59 meters. The input delay amount will be added to the output delay amount for a possible 680 ms, 758.18 feet and 231.18 meters should a very long delay be necessary. One example would be for use with delay towers.
