Used to optimize the interface gain between the VSX II Channel 1 and the associated mixer. Control range is

-20 dB to +20 dB with Unity gain at center (detent) position. In mono MODE Gain 1 is the only channel gain
control.

OOppeerraattiioonn NNoottee

The default (0dB) setting (center detent on all controls) should be considered normal for many applications.
However, adjustments in the - (negative) direction will reduce system noise. Settings in the + (positive)
direction will improve headroom with mixers having output capability less than +22 dBu, at the expense of
added system noise.

In applications requiring low system noise, such as studios, churches, etc., and where headroom is not critical,
the noise level can be improved by operating the VSXII gain levels below 0 dB. Example: A setting of -6 dB will
reduce system noise by 6 dB. At the same time, system headroom will have been reduced by 6 dB. Such
“compromises” should be considered normal in noise sensitive applications.

System headroom can be substantially increased with the VSXII in applications where the mixer output is less
than +22 dBu. To accomplish this, the optimum gain setting will usually be the difference between the VSXII
output rating (+22 dBu) and the mixer output rating. Example: If the mixer output rating is +14 dBu, the VSXII
gain should be set at +8 dB (22–14 = +8 dB). If the mixer output rating were 22 dBu, the correct setting would
be 0dB. For mixers with output capability at +22 dBu or higher, gain settings above 0 dB will not improve
headroom but will increase system noise.

OOppeerraattiioonn NNoottee

When a standard two conductor phone plug is inserted into a TRS jack, the system becomes unbalanced.
Such connection should be made only when the associated equipment is in close proximity to the VSXII.

The XLR input and 1/4" input are in parallel. If a two-conductor phone plug is used in the 1/4" jack, both
inputs become unbalanced. If a three-conductor phone plug is used to patch to associated equipment
which is unbalanced, the entire channel becomes unbalanced.

SSeettuupp PPrroocceedduurreess

To achieve proper system set up and to provide good system performance and reliability, all the system
component (loudspeakers’) efficiency rating and crossover frequency values must be determined and used
according to the procedure described bellow. Special attention should be paid in mono, single-channel 3-way
MODE, so that the LOW-TO-MID crossover frequency control (8) will not be set higher than the MID-TO-HIGH
crossover frequency control (25).

Step 1:

The efficiency rating of the low frequency enclosure becomes the “reference efficiency” for the entire
system. The level control associated with this band-pass should always be set at 0 dB. Example: A
system’s low frequency component has an efficiency rating of 100 dB at 1 W, 1 M, 100 dB is the “reference
efficiency” for setup.

Step 2:

For 3-way systems, the MID band level (Channel 2 low) setting will be the difference in efficiency rating
between the low and mid components. Example: The system’s mid frequency component efficiency is 99 dB at
1 W, 1 M, 100–99 = +1 dB. The MID band level setting (Channel 2 low) should be +1 dB.

Step 3:

The HIGH band level setting will be the difference in efficiency rating between the low and high components.
Example: The system’s high frequency component efficiency is 106 dB at 1 W, 1 M, 100–106 = -6 dB. The HIGH
band level setting should be -6 dB.

Step 4:

The crossover frequency adjustment must be correct for the various components in the system. These values
are usually, but not necessarily, the cut-off frequencies of the associated loudspeakers. Crossover frequencies
are sometimes selected to improve the “power sharing” for a given sound system application. These selections
should never be below the cut-off frequency values.

Step 5:

For 2-way or 3-way system, the 40 Hz filter may be activated if desired. This feature protects subwoofers from
operating below their cut-off frequencies and preserves headroom.

Step 6:

Adjust the gain control as described in the gain section.
