ENGLISH VSX™ 48 Digital Loudspeaker Processor The VSX 48 is a fully progammable 32-bit audio processing and louspeaker management control system. Considerably more powerful than similarly priced units, the VSX 48 provides a versatile and economical alternative for system designers. Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your equipment.
Front Panel 1 2 3 5 4 5 6 Input Section (1) MIC input Front panel Mic or line level input. Phantom power may be selected in software. May be used as a extra input and routed through the system. (2) DATA WHEEL Rotate clockwise or counter clockwise to scroll through screens. Push to enter or confirm selection. (3) LCD DISPLAY This screen gives a graphical representation of unit configuration and parameter settings.
Rear Panel 1 2 3 (1) IEC power input and fuse holder (2) Output Section XLR male line level outputs (3) Input section XLR female line level inputs. Input A may be switched to AES digital input via software.
Setup/Configuration Screen Rotate the data wheel to scroll across the screen and push the wheel to select and confirm. 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. Mute toggle on/off. Analog/digital operation is selectable on input A.
Setup/Configuration Screen SETUP: Selecting this button takes you to the preset configuration page. The VSX™ is pre-programmed with fourteen configuration templates representing the most frequently used crossover possibilities. As you scroll through the configuration presets you will see and can adjust the basic filter types (only symmetrical choices may be made here). Center frequencies of those filters and a graphic representation of the filters will be displayed.
EQ Screen Output Equalizers Select 1-8 on the top of the EQ screen. Filter: Select any of the five independent filters to use. Type: Choices are: Parametric, Notch, Allpass1, Allpass2, Horn EQ, LPF-6, LPF-12, HPF-6, HPF-12, Low Shelf, High Shelf and Bandpass. Depending on the filter selected various options for adjustment are presented in the window. Parametric: Frequency, BW (in oct), Level Notch: Frequency, BW (in oct). Notch has a fixed attenuation on minus infinity and the BW is defined 3 dB from unity.
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.
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).
Tools IMPORTANT - When loading new presets from memory stick be sure to mute all outputs and turn your power amplifiers down or off. Corrupt data can cause undesirably results that could potentially damage your speakers. Save Preset Allows saving the current configuration to one of 8 internal memory positions or to an external USB memory stick.
