Important Safety Instructions

WARNING: When using electrical products, basic cautions should always be followed, including the following:

1.Read these instructions.

2.Keep these instructions.

3.Heed all warnings.

4.Follow all instructions.

5.Do not use this apparatus near water.

6.Clean only with a dry cloth.

7.Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.

8.Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9.Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding plug. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point they exit from the apparatus.

11.Only use attachments/accessories provided by the manufacturer.

12.Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.

When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14.Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15.Never break off the ground pin. Write for our free booklet “Shock Hazard and Grounding.” Connect only to a power supply of the type marked on the unit adjacent to the power supply cord.

16.If this product is to be mounted in an equipment rack, rear support should be provided.

17.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.

18.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.

19.Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause a permanent hearing loss. Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise for a sufficient time. The U.S. Government’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has specified the following permissible noise level exposures:

Duration Per Day In Hours	Sound Level dBA, Slow Response
8	90
6	92
4	95
3	97
2	100
1 1⁄2	102
1	105
1⁄2	110
1⁄4 or less	115

According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of the above permissible limits could result in some hearing loss. Ear plugs or protectors to the ear canals or over the ears must be worn when operating this amplification system in order to prevent a permanent hearing loss, if exposure is in excess of the limits as set forth above. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels such as this amplification system be protected by hearing protectors while this unit is in operation.

VSX 48 specifications

The Peavey VSX 48 is a sophisticated digital loudspeaker management system designed for professional audio applications, blending advanced features with user-friendly functionality. With the ability to manage and optimize sound across various environments, the VSX 48 stands out as a powerful tool for sound engineers and audio professionals.

One of the main features of the VSX 48 is its high-bandwidth digital signal processing capabilities. Operating at a 48 kHz sample rate, it ensures pristine audio quality and minimal latency. The system boasts 4 input channels and 8 output channels, allowing for extensive routing and configuration possibilities. Each channel is equipped with a 24-bit AD/DA converter, ensuring that the audio signal remains transparent and true to the original source.

The VSX 48 is built around a comprehensive set of processing tools, including parametric equalizers, crossover filters, and delay options. The 8-band parametric equalizers for each output channel allow users to fine-tune frequencies with precision, helping to eliminate feedback and enhance sound quality. The crossover filters support various configurations, enabling the separation of audio signals into different frequency bands for optimized performance of amplifiers and loudspeakers.

Another distinctive technology is the integrated feedback suppression system. This feature actively identifies and reduces feedback in real-time, allowing for a cleaner and more professional sound. The delay functionality is particularly useful for time-alignment of multiple speaker arrays, ensuring that sound reaches the audience in a coherent and unified manner.

The device also features an intuitive user interface, accessible via both its front-panel controls and a computer-based software application. This allows users to monitor performance and make adjustments easily, whether on-site or remotely. The MIDI compatibility of the VSX 48 also enables external control and integration into complex audio setups, increasing its versatility.

Durability is a key characteristic of the VSX 48, designed to withstand the rigors of touring and live sound environments. With its sturdy chassis and reliable components, it is built for longevity, making it an ideal investment for any audio professional.

In summary, the Peavey VSX 48 is a robust and flexible loudspeaker management system that combines advanced digital processing technologies with user-friendly operation. Its comprehensive features make it a valuable asset for achieving optimal sound quality in various audio environments. Whether for live performances, installations, or sound reinforcement, the VSX 48 stands out as a reliable choice for audio excellence.
