Peavey 4000130 VSX 48e DSP Loudspeaker Management System

The Peavey VSX 48e is a rack-mountable DSP loudspeaker management system designed for professional sound reinforcement applications. It provides four XLR balanced inputs and eight XLR balanced outputs, all rated at a maximum level of +20 dBu, enabling engineers to configure multi-way crossover networks, zone routing, and speaker processing from a single unit. Operating at a 96kHz sample rate, the VSX 48e handles crossover filtering, parametric EQ, signal delay, and output limiting with high-resolution precision across a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz (+0, -1 dB).

Monitoring is handled through 5-segment LED meters with limit indication on each of the eight outputs, providing at-a-glance status without requiring a connected computer. When deeper configuration is needed, the VSX 48e connects via USB or Ethernet for remote setup and real-time parameter adjustment from a laptop running Peavey's control software. This dual-connectivity approach makes it practical for both installed systems where Ethernet runs to a control room and portable rigs where a direct USB connection is more convenient. The VSX 48e fits into standard 19-inch racks and is built for the demands of touring and installed professional audio environments.
