User manual PEAVEY VSX

[. . . ] Note for UK only: If the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this unit do not correspond with the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: a) The wire that is colored green and yellow must be connected to the terminal that is marked by the letter E, the earth symbol, colored green or colored green and yellow. B) The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter N or the color black. C) The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the terminal that is marked with the letter L or the color red. This electrical apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and care should be taken not to place objects containing liquids, such as vases, upon the apparatus. [. . . ] 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. 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. When engaged in "stereo" adjusting a parameter on channel A will make a corresponding adjustment on Ch B. This may be most useful when adjusting GEQs, 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: Allows engaging the +48 V phantom power as well as adjusting the Mic gain range from 23 dB to 67 dB of gain. When Sine is selected the frequency of the sine wave may be adjusted for 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Power user tip: Pressing the EQ button is a short cut to return to the top of the screen. Notch has a fixed attenuation on minus infinity and the BW is defined 3 dB from unity. all Pass1: Frequency All Pass2: Frequency and Bandwidth Horn EQ: Turnover Frequency and Level LPF6 and HPF6: Frequency LPF12 and HPF12: Frequency and Q Low and High Shelf: Frequency and Level Bandpass: Center Frequency and Bandwidth DYNAMICS: Inputs A and B or outputs 1-6 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. This control determines the minimum level when the compressor begins to limit the dynamic range. The compressor has no affect 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. RATIO: The ratio determines how strong the limiting becomes once the threshold is crossed. [. . . ] It may become necessary to flip the polarity many times while adjusting the delay time or adjusting the cut-off rate of the filters. The delay is displayed in milliseconds, feet and meters and automatically calculates each as the data wheel is rotated. SAvE PRESET Allows saving the current configuration to one of 8 internal memory positions or to an external USB memory stick. If external USB is selected the VSXTM will automatically write a folder and file to the stick without disturbing other files/folders that may be present on the stick. [. . . ]
