Peavey VSX 26, VR112, 48 manual Dynamics settings, Word about system low end

A word about system low end

The above settings will produce a nominally “flat” system. It is currently fashionable for modern systems to have 6 dB to 15 dB boost in output compared to midband. If this is desired then simply do not cut the drive to the subs and if necessary turn the attenuator clockwise to wide open. If such drastic response is required consider using an “Aux Fed Sub” arrangement.

Dynamics settings:

The following settings have been chosen to provide a reasonable balance between dynamic range and speaker protection. You may wish to save an additional preset with “safe mode” settings by reducing the threshold by 6 dB. It is often a good idea to start the system up in the safe mode until it is determined that everything is running correctly and the system operator is capable of “safe driving”. The trade off is more protection for less dynamic range.
