DBX DriveRack 260 Loudspeaker Management System

The DBX DriveRack260 Loudspeaker Management System is a processor designed for complete system control of equalization, dynamics and routing possibilities in live or contractor sound applications. Its powerful processing includes both a linkable 28-band graphic and 9-band parametric EQ, while system dynamics are controlled by the built-in compressor. Further component protection is provided by DBX's PeakStopPlus® limiters, which help protect against too much power and sudden transient spikes.

Before users adjust the EQ, they may want to utilize the internal Pink Noise Generator and Real Time Analyzer to get familiar with the room acoustics. In addition, an easy to assign, flexible alignment time delay and handy 15V phantom powered mic input are also provided for further room management and control.

The goal of a high-quality control processor is to help "dial in" a room and contribute to the overall system performance without directly interfering with audio integrity. Custom templates are built-in for specific amplifier and speaker combinations with user setups easily adjusted using the Wizard setup system and complete DriveWare™ GUI control.

An indispensible tool for maximizing audio quality in a number of environments, the DriveRack 260 is derived from an already proven series of processors and continues the tradition of providing flexible system control using simple, intuitive interfaces.
