XOver Screen, Release, Gain, In/Out

EQ Screen

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.

Frequency:

The VSX™ 26 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.

VSX 26 specifications

The Peavey VSX series, encompassing the VSX 26, VSX 48, and the VR112 loudspeaker, is designed to meet the demands of modern sound reinforcement with advanced features and innovative technologies. These products are widely regarded for their reliability and versatility, making them suitable for both live performance and installation applications.

The VSX 26 is a versatile digital signal processor (DSP) that offers 26 inputs and 12 outputs, making it ideal for complex audio setups. This unit features 24-bit/96 kHz audio processing, ensuring high fidelity and clarity for all audio signals. It employs sophisticated algorithms for crossover configuration, equalization, and delay, providing users with the tools necessary to optimize sound environments. Additionally, the VSX 26 features a user-friendly interface, including an LCD screen for easy navigation and monitoring of audio settings.

Next in the series, the VSX 48 elevates the capabilities of the previous model by offering 48 inputs and 24 outputs, combined with advanced processing power. This DSP unit is perfect for larger audio systems, allowing for intricate routing and mixing configurations. It also provides multiple processing functions, including parametric equalizers and dynamic range control, empowering sound engineers to shape the audio signal with unmatched precision. The integration of Peavey’s patented SmartD damping circuit enhances sound quality by minimizing crossover distortion, ensuring a clean and powerful output.

The VR112 is a powerful 12-inch two-way loudspeaker that perfectly complements the VSX DSP series. Boasting a robust design, it features a 12-inch heavy-duty woofer with a 1.4-inch titanium compression driver that delivers clear and articulate high-frequency response. The VR112 is engineered for durability, with a rugged cabinet design that can withstand the rigors of touring and live performances. Its wide dispersion pattern ensures that sound is evenly distributed across large areas, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor events.
