Global Functions: Utility, Recall and Save

Pressing the utility button opens the screens for system wide settings. Each press of the utility button advances

to the next screen in the sequence. You can press the "Exit" button at any time to return to the main screen.

Device ID #: (Utility Button)

The ID number of the unit can be set in this screen. The ID is used with the Editor program to identify this

unit when multiple units are connected. Each unit must have a unique identifier. It is most important when

units are connected together using the RS 485 serial interface. See the section on serial communication for

more details.

Ethernet Address: (Utility Button)

Set the Ethernet, IP address here for connection to the Editor program using the Ethernet port. Make sure to

note the new address if you edit address!

Security Lock: (Utility Button)

Once on this screen, the parameter knob is used to set the password. Press to advance and rotate to change

each digit. A "Y" or "N" will appear allowing to engage the lock "Y" or turn it off "N".

Input Source Select: (Utility Button)

During normal operation, the analog inputs on the rear of the VSX are routed to the outputs. However, the

VSX has an internal signal generator that can be used for setup and testing. Rotating the parameter knob allows

you to select Analog Input, Pink Noise, White Noise or a Sine-Wave as the input source for all inputs. The

new selection will blink on the screen. Press the Parameter knob to select. You may wish to mute outputs that

you do not wish to receive the signal from the generator. Analog input must be selected for those inputs to

function.

7

Copy Settings: (Utility Button)

Settings can easily be copied from one input channel to another input or from one output to another. Rotate

the parameter encoder to select the parameter.

Delay Units: (Utility Button)

The units used to set delays can be selected on this screen. The options are milli-Seconds (mS), meters (m) or

feet (ft)

Load: (Recall Button)

Rotate the Parameter knob to select the desired preset number then press to load.

Save: (Save Button)

Select the desired user storage location using the parameter knob then Press. Enter a name for the preset and

then press the parameter knob again when the "Y" appears to complete the save.

Input/Output Parameters

97

The next section of controls are used to make adjustments to a particular input or output.

Begin by pressing the "EDIT" button (7 and 9) for the channel you wish to adjust. The edit function buttons at

the right side of the front panel that apply to the channel selection will light. The function selected will blink.

Input Edit functions: Gain, PEQ, Link, Delay, X-Over and Polarity.

Output Edit functions: Gain, PEQ, Link, Delay, X-Over, Matrix, Comp and Polarity.

While editing, you can select another function or another channel by pressing the appropriate button.

Press Exit to return to the main screen.

Gain

The input and output gain can be adjusted in a range of -60 dB to +12 dB in 0.1 dB increments. For best oper-

ation, the gain should not be set at extreme settings (0dB is optimal). It is always best to adjust the signal level

driving the VSX input so that the Yellow LED lights on louder signals. When using the crossover on an output,

you may need to increase the gain to achieve sufficient signal level to drive the amplifier. If you find that you

need to turn down an output very far below 0 dB, you will get quieter operation if you reduce the amplifier input

level control instead.

PEQ

The input channels have 8 bands of equalization available and the outputs have 9. The EQ band is indicated in

the upper left corner of the display. (Band 1 is shown above) The parameter selected for adjustment will blink

on the screen. Press the parameter knob to select a parameter for editing. Rotate the knob to adjust.

F= Frequency, Q is inverse of Bandwidth. High Q equates to narrow bandwidth. G= Gain.

The EQ types available are: Peak/Dip (PEAK), Low-Shelf (L-SHLF), High-Shelf (H_SHLF), Low-Pass (L-PASS),

High-Pass (H-PASS), All-Pass 1 (A-PAS1), All-Pass 2 (A-PAS2)

"On" is active and "By"= Bypass.

9

Link

Many times, in particular for stereo signals, you may want to make the same adjust to two or more channels at

the same time. Using the link function, inputs can be linked to other inputs and outputs can be linked to other

outputs. The check marks on the above screen indicate linkage. When channels are linked, the edit buttons for

those channels will blink simultaneously when editing.

Delay

Up to 680 milli-Seconds of delay can be added to any input or output. The delay resolution is 1 sample or 10.4

micro-Seconds.

Crossover (X-Over)

Although the button is labeled X-OVER and that is how these functions are often used, each input and output

have very flexible high-pass and low-pass filters that can be configured for many applications.

To activate the filter use the parameter control to select bypass on the screen and change it to the desired filter

type. There are 3 different filter alignments available, Butterworth, Bessel and Linkwitz-Riley. The filter slopes of

6 dB/Octave to 48 dB/Octave can be selected.

10

Matrix

The Matrix screen is only available when editing an output. This is where the inputs that drive each output are

connected. The above screen shows input "A" as the signal source for output 1. If multiple inputs are selected,

their signals are summed.

Compressor (COMP)

The compressor screen is only available when editing an output. The compressor parameters are: T= Threshold,

R= Ratio, AT= Attack Time and RT= Release Time. The threshold is roughly equal to the limiting level in dBu.

The limit LED corresponding to the output channel will light when the threshold is exceeded. The status is also

displayed in the computer editor.

Polarity

0= Normal polarity. 180= Reverse polarity.

11

VSX™ Editor Program

The VSX processors can be setup and controlled using the VSX Editor which runs on a Windows computer. To

control the VSX, the computer can be connected to the VSX via USB, Ethernet, RS-232 or RS-485. For most

applications, USB or Ethernet will be the preferred solutions.

Connect the computer to the VSX using a USB cable connected to USB jack on the front of the unit.

When connected to the editor, front panel controls are locked out.

Connecting a computer to the VSX via Ethernet.

The VSX processors use a "Static" IP address. Setting the address of the unit and ID# is described in the utility

section of the manual. The Editor must be set the matching IP address and ID# in order to connect.

An Ethernet cable can be connected directly to most computers if only one unit is being controlled. In most

cases you will want to use an Ethernet router or WiFi router.

If the computer is connected before launching the VSX editor software, the software will search for connected

devices. If it does not connect, check to be sure the IP address and device ID# of the unit match the settings in

the editor. Also, make sure the VSX IP address is set in the network range of your computer and router. You can

then click scan or click the offline Icon in the upper right corner of the screen to scan and connect.

12

Once connected, the setting from the unit will be loaded and the icon will turn green and indicate online. Use

the Tabs at the top of the screen to navigate to the desired screen.

Gain Screen

The gain screen above gives a good overview of the system. In addition to showing input and output gains, mute

and polarity status, Input and output equalization curves can be displayed.

13

Compressor Screen

The Compressor screen displays the settings of all 8 output compressors along with signal level, and limit status.

The transfer function of a selected output is also displayed.

14

Delay Screen

All of the input and output delays are shown in the above screen. Delays can be adjusted using the sliders at the

bottom, by sliding the speakers at the top or by direct typed entry. To directly enter the delay time, double click

the delay time and type a new value. If you hold down the left mouse button on a slider, you can fine adjust the

delay by using the up and down arrow buttons on the keyboard.

The delay display units can be selected on the right.

15

Matrix Screen

The input sources for each output are routed on the Matrix screen. Click the input button below the output to

select. If more than one source is selected those inputs will sum. A graphical representation of the routing is

given at the top. Inputs and outputs can also be labeled in this screen.

16

Input Eqaulization Edit Screen

The input equalization can be adjusted using this screen. When you select a PEQ band # at the bottom left of the

screen, the parameters for that band can be adjusted using the PEQ Parameter sliders. A PEQ band can also be

adjusted by selecting the corresponding band on the graph with the mouse and dragging it to set frequency and

amplitude. While holding mouse button down, the Q can be adjusted using the + and - keys. If you double click

on a parameter in the PEQ matrix, you can directly type in a new value. The graph can display either the mag-

nitude of filter responses or the resulting phase response. The graph of other inputs can also be overlaid on the

screen by clicking boxes on top of the graph.

17

Output Equalization Edit Screen

The output equalization can be adjusted using this screen. When you select a PEQ band # at the bottom left of

the screen, the parameters for that band can be adjusted using the PEQ Parameter sliders. A PEQ band can also

be adjusted by selecting the corresponding band on the graph with the mouse and dragging it to set frequency

and amplitude. While holding mouse button down, the Q can be adjusted using the + and - keys. If you double

click on a parameter in the PEQ matrix, you can directly type in a new value. The graph can display either the

magnitude of filter responses or the resulting phase response. The graph of other outputs can also be overlaid on

the screen by clicking boxes on top of the graph.

Global Functions: Utility, Recall and Save

Pressing the utility button opens the screens for system wide settings. Each press of the utility button advances

to the next screen in the sequence. You can press the "Exit" button at any time to return to the main screen.

Device ID #: (Utility Button)

The ID number of the unit can be set in this screen. The ID is used with the Editor program to identify this

unit when multiple units are connected. Each unit must have a unique identifier. It is most important when

units are connected together using the RS 485 serial interface. See the section on serial communication for

more details.

Ethernet Address: (Utility Button)

Set the Ethernet, IP address here for connection to the Editor program using the Ethernet port. Make sure to

note the new address if you edit address!

Security Lock: (Utility Button)

Once on this screen, the parameter knob is used to set the password. Press to advance and rotate to change

each digit. A "Y" or "N" will appear allowing to engage the lock "Y" or turn it off "N".

Input Source Select: (Utility Button)

During normal operation, the analog inputs on the rear of the VSX are routed to the outputs. However, the

VSX has an internal signal generator that can be used for setup and testing. Rotating the parameter knob allows

you to select Analog Input, Pink Noise, White Noise or a Sine-Wave as the input source for all inputs. The

new selection will blink on the screen. Press the Parameter knob to select. You may wish to mute outputs that

you do not wish to receive the signal from the generator. Analog input must be selected for those inputs to

function.

7

Copy Settings: (Utility Button)

Settings can easily be copied from one input channel to another input or from one output to another. Rotate

the parameter encoder to select the parameter.

Delay Units: (Utility Button)

The units used to set delays can be selected on this screen. The options are milli-Seconds (mS), meters (m) or

feet (ft)

Load: (Recall Button)

Rotate the Parameter knob to select the desired preset number then press to load.

Save: (Save Button)

Select the desired user storage location using the parameter knob then Press. Enter a name for the preset and

then press the parameter knob again when the "Y" appears to complete the save.

Input/Output Parameters

97

The next section of controls are used to make adjustments to a particular input or output.

Begin by pressing the "EDIT" button (7 and 9) for the channel you wish to adjust. The edit function buttons at

the right side of the front panel that apply to the channel selection will light. The function selected will blink.

Input Edit functions: Gain, PEQ, Link, Delay, X-Over and Polarity.

Output Edit functions: Gain, PEQ, Link, Delay, X-Over, Matrix, Comp and Polarity.

While editing, you can select another function or another channel by pressing the appropriate button.

Press Exit to return to the main screen.

Gain

The input and output gain can be adjusted in a range of -60 dB to +12 dB in 0.1 dB increments. For best oper-

ation, the gain should not be set at extreme settings (0dB is optimal). It is always best to adjust the signal level

driving the VSX input so that the Yellow LED lights on louder signals. When using the crossover on an output,

you may need to increase the gain to achieve sufficient signal level to drive the amplifier. If you find that you

need to turn down an output very far below 0 dB, you will get quieter operation if you reduce the amplifier input

level control instead.

PEQ

The input channels have 8 bands of equalization available and the outputs have 9. The EQ band is indicated in

the upper left corner of the display. (Band 1 is shown above) The parameter selected for adjustment will blink

on the screen. Press the parameter knob to select a parameter for editing. Rotate the knob to adjust.

F= Frequency, Q is inverse of Bandwidth. High Q equates to narrow bandwidth. G= Gain.

The EQ types available are: Peak/Dip (PEAK), Low-Shelf (L-SHLF), High-Shelf (H_SHLF), Low-Pass (L-PASS),

High-Pass (H-PASS), All-Pass 1 (A-PAS1), All-Pass 2 (A-PAS2)

"On" is active and "By"= Bypass.

Link

Many times, in particular for stereo signals, you may want to make the same adjust to two or more channels at

the same time. Using the link function, inputs can be linked to other inputs and outputs can be linked to other

outputs. The check marks on the above screen indicate linkage. When channels are linked, the edit buttons for

those channels will blink simultaneously when editing.

Delay

Up to 680 milli-Seconds of delay can be added to any input or output. The delay resolution is 1 sample or 10.4

micro-Seconds.

Crossover (X-Over)

Although the button is labeled X-OVER and that is how these functions are often used, each input and output

have very flexible high-pass and low-pass filters that can be configured for many applications.

To activate the filter use the parameter control to select bypass on the screen and change it to the desired filter

type. There are 3 different filter alignments available, Butterworth, Bessel and Linkwitz-Riley. The filter slopes of

6 dB/Octave to 48 dB/Octave can be selected.

10

Matrix

The Matrix screen is only available when editing an output. This is where the inputs that drive each output are

connected. The above screen shows input "A" as the signal source for output 1. If multiple inputs are selected,

their signals are summed.

Compressor (COMP)

The compressor screen is only available when editing an output. The compressor parameters are: T= Threshold,

R= Ratio, AT= Attack Time and RT= Release Time. The threshold is roughly equal to the limiting level in dBu.

The limit LED corresponding to the output channel will light when the threshold is exceeded. The status is also

displayed in the computer editor.

Polarity

0= Normal polarity. 180= Reverse polarity.

VSX™ Editor Program

The VSX processors can be setup and controlled using the VSX Editor which runs on a Windows computer. To

control the VSX, the computer can be connected to the VSX via USB, Ethernet, RS-232 or RS-485. For most

applications, USB or Ethernet will be the preferred solutions.

Connect the computer to the VSX using a USB cable connected to USB jack on the front of the unit.

When connected to the editor, front panel controls are locked out.

Connecting a computer to the VSX via Ethernet.

The VSX processors use a "Static" IP address. Setting the address of the unit and ID# is described in the utility

section of the manual. The Editor must be set the matching IP address and ID# in order to connect.

An Ethernet cable can be connected directly to most computers if only one unit is being controlled. In most

cases you will want to use an Ethernet router or WiFi router.

If the computer is connected before launching the VSX editor software, the software will search for connected

devices. If it does not connect, check to be sure the IP address and device ID# of the unit match the settings in

the editor. Also, make sure the VSX IP address is set in the network range of your computer and router. You can

then click scan or click the offline Icon in the upper right corner of the screen to scan and connect.

12

Once connected, the setting from the unit will be loaded and the icon will turn green and indicate online. Use

the Tabs at the top of the screen to navigate to the desired screen.

Gain Screen

The gain screen above gives a good overview of the system. In addition to showing input and output gains, mute

and polarity status, Input and output equalization curves can be displayed.

13

Compressor Screen

The Compressor screen displays the settings of all 8 output compressors along with signal level, and limit status.

The transfer function of a selected output is also displayed.

14

Delay Screen

All of the input and output delays are shown in the above screen. Delays can be adjusted using the sliders at the

bottom, by sliding the speakers at the top or by direct typed entry. To directly enter the delay time, double click

the delay time and type a new value. If you hold down the left mouse button on a slider, you can fine adjust the

delay by using the up and down arrow buttons on the keyboard.

The delay display units can be selected on the right.

15

Matrix Screen

The input sources for each output are routed on the Matrix screen. Click the input button below the output to

select. If more than one source is selected those inputs will sum. A graphical representation of the routing is

given at the top. Inputs and outputs can also be labeled in this screen.

16

Input Eqaulization Edit Screen

The input equalization can be adjusted using this screen. When you select a PEQ band # at the bottom left of the

screen, the parameters for that band can be adjusted using the PEQ Parameter sliders. A PEQ band can also be

adjusted by selecting the corresponding band on the graph with the mouse and dragging it to set frequency and

amplitude. While holding mouse button down, the Q can be adjusted using the + and - keys. If you double click

on a parameter in the PEQ matrix, you can directly type in a new value. The graph can display either the mag-

nitude of filter responses or the resulting phase response. The graph of other inputs can also be overlaid on the

screen by clicking boxes on top of the graph.

17

Output Equalization Edit Screen

The output equalization can be adjusted using this screen. When you select a PEQ band # at the bottom left of

the screen, the parameters for that band can be adjusted using the PEQ Parameter sliders. A PEQ band can also

be adjusted by selecting the corresponding band on the graph with the mouse and dragging it to set frequency

and amplitude. While holding mouse button down, the Q can be adjusted using the + and - keys. If you double

click on a parameter in the PEQ matrix, you can directly type in a new value. The graph can display either the

magnitude of filter responses or the resulting phase response. The graph of other outputs can also be overlaid on

the screen by clicking boxes on top of the graph.
