The dbx DriveRack PA+ is a powerful 1RU Loudspeaker management processor, packed with all-inclusive dynamics, EQ and Real Time Analysis processing for the professional on a budget. The unit essentially replaces a rack full of gear, and utilizes an intuitive user interface to control independent channels of processing power.

Among some of the DSP featured is a linkable 28-Band Graphic equalizer, a dbx stereo compressor module, feedback eliminator and the 120A Subharmonic Synthesizer on the input section.

The six-channel DriveRack PA+ output system includes parametric EQs, peak limiters (which provide protection against speaker blowouts) and an alignment delay. In combination with the Wizard setup system, the unit represents a methodical design capable of delivering optimal, all-inclusive PA processing in small and mid-sized venues.

        Comments about dbx DriveRack PA+ - Complete Loudspeaker Management System:

        This is a self contained crossover, parametric EQ, compressor/limiter, and distro unit. It is flexible and easy to use. We didn't use the wizard to tune the system, but did it by ear. It is definitely getting the most out of our sound installation.
