1. 1200 ms Gain 0 Amplifier Level Settings Sensitivity set at 10 dB is recommended when using Peavey CS series amps All channels set to the same voltage gain referenced to the 12 woofer Crest power amps should be used with the sensitivity setting in the x20 position and the attenuators fully clockwise wide open Please review our white paper on minimizing system noise when using VSX on our website VSX presets A VSX 26 may be used to provide a conventional 2 channel stereo three way control of any Versarray System The VSX 48 should be selected when it is desirable to control the system in zones that may be used to split coverage between balconies and a main floor or when shading of EQ or Level is desired The added control provided by the VSX 48 gives the user additional capabilities to fine tune the system The VSX 48 presets also provide an easy means to use an aux fed sub system see our white paper http Awww peavey com support technotes VSX26 presets Input Ato out 1 subs out 2 mids out 3 highs Input Bto out4 subs out 5 mids out 6 highs VSX 48 presets Input Out 1 mids top pair Out 2 highs Out 3 mids middle pair Out 4 highs Out 5 mids bottom pair Out 6 highs Out 7 subs Input B Out 8 subs for aux fed subs2. woofer level increase relative to a subwoofer level A uniform splay of 5 degrees per cabinet for an 8 cabinet array would require approximately 5 dB of tweeter level boost and approx 1 dB of 12 woofer level increase relative to a subwoofer Complete processor settings for the recommended 2 5 degree continuous curvature with 6 Versarray 112 cabinets and one Versarray 218 Sub Front End EQ before the crossover section PEQ 4 0 dB 2k bw 0 7 or use 1 3 octave band 2 kHz set to 2 5 dB AND 1 3 octave band 1 6 kHz set to 2 dB Infrasonic filtering 24 dB oct LR 34 Hz Crossover settings Woofer 24 dB oct LR 2 0 kHz Tweeter 24 dB oct Bessel 3 0 kHz Woofer Polarity Normal Tweeter Polarity Normal EQ after crossover Woofer EQ PEQ 1 5 dB 560 Hz bw 0 5 PEQ 3 5 dB 850 Hz bw 0 5 PEQ 3dB 115 Hz bw 2 PEQ 1 5 dB 2 2 kHz bw 7 PEQ 2 dB 700 Hz bw 3 0 Woofer Delay 0 0 ms none Tweeter EQ PEQ 3 dB 2 7 kHz bw 0 7 PEQ 2 5 dB 4 6 kHz bw 1 0 PEQ 3 5 dB 16 5 kHz bw 1 0 Tweeter Delay 0 0 ms none Sub to Woofer Crossover Sub 24 dB oct LR 125Hz Woofer 24 dB oct LR 100Hz Sub Polarity Normal Woofer Polarity Normal Sub EQ PEQ 4 0 dB 50 Hz bw 0 7 PEQ 2 5 dB 100 Hz bw 0 5 Level Settings for same model of power amp with all channels set to the same voltage gain One Versarray 218 Sub 4 dB Versarray 112 Woofer 0 0 dB Tweeter 8 5 dB for
