dbx DriveRack VENU360 Loudspeaker Management System

The DriveRack VENU360 from dbx is a loudspeaker-management processor designed to protect and optimize front-of-the house, stage monitor, delay-fill, and zone loudspeaker systems in clubs, outdoor music events, or houses of worship.

Connect the VENU360 between your mixer and amplifiers/powered speakers, and use it for precise feedback elimination, automatic speaker level and room equalization, crossover-frequency setting, dbx compression/limiting, driver alignment delay, and more.

The unit provides a 5 x 6 routing/mixing matrix (using four AES signals and one analog signal) and a 3 x 6 signal processing chain. The 24-bit A/D and D/A converters with dbx Type IV conversion protect the incoming audio signal from accidental digital clipping at the A/D stage, while the 32-bit floating point, 48 / 96 kHz internal processing produces professional audio quality with high headroom and wide dynamic range.

For easy operation, the Wizard functions guide you through simple, step-by-step processes to help you quickly configure the unit. For more control, you can use the manual mode which lets you customize each parameter separately. A large, bright, LCD display and nine 6-segment signal meters provide easy-to-read visual feedback. Additionally, the free DriveRack VENU360 control application offers network control via the built-in Ethernet port, and is available for iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows-compatible devices.

dbx RTA-M Reference Microphone

The RTA-M Reference Microphone from dbx is an omnidirectional mic designed for use with dbx DriveRack series real-time analyzers (sold separately) to provide an acoustic picture of a room. It can be used to capture audio and fine-tune your sound system performance to match the response characteristics of the room for live sound and recording applications. In addition, the RTA-M is built with a metal housing, requires phantom power (9 to 52 VDC), and includes a mic clip along with a hardcover case.

Flat frequency response
Omnidirectional polar pattern
Designed for the DriveRack series
Accurate "pinking" / real-time analysis of your audio
It runs on phantom power (supplied by the DriveRack units) and comes with a clip and case

dbx VENU360 Reviews

probably more that what I needed, but it works well

I got the Venu360 to be able to 'tune' various different audio systems for the purpose of having different (relatively flat response) audio references to fine tune a Kemper guitar amp/processor. Yeah....why would someone go to that extreme? I guess I'm fussy with wanting to dial in my 'sound'...we do shows in Europe at different venues (clubs & festivals), and I've been wanting to have the Kemper dialed in to make it easy for FOH sound engineers to get a good mix with a good guitar sound. Having the Kemper's direct output sounding as good as possible is key. I used the Kemper to 'clone' an excellent sounding Marshall rig (100 watt JCM2000 DSL with Telefunken tubes and 1970's era Marshall 4x12 cabinet with old original style Celestion greenback speakers), so the Kemper was already at a good starting point with that sound, but adjusting all the different parameters within the Kemper is tricky and not nearly as straightforward as adjusting an actual Marshall tube amp....but it is much easier and cheaper to travel with a Kemper than a complete Marshall rig!! I used the Venu360 to 'tune' KRK studio monitors and Yamaha NS10 and other studio monitors.... I'm 'old school' and was actually looking for an RTA to use with a pink noise generator, flat reference mic, and graphic EQ to manually tune monitors, not realizing that everything has changed from the olden-days....I came to realize that today's audio equipment, such as the Venu360, is used in place of the old-school ways of doing things! The Venu360 appears to provide a lot of control with not only 'tuning' audio systems, but with phase alignment, limiters to protect speakers, compression, auto feedback suppression and more. Like I mentioned, it's really overkill for my needs, but it definitely does what I need!! I also have a decent live sound system with Yamaha mains and large 18" speaker subs which I used the Venu360 to tune as well. I've been using the combination of my different sound/audio systems to compare the Kemper sound, switching between them with my saved tunings created with the Venu360. The Venu360 is a complex unit for someone like me that does not do professional live audio (I'm more of a guitar player and studio guy...), and the instruction manual for someone like me results in a large learning curve, however, but I found some very good tutorials on YouTube that were extremely helpful to get me started and get my feet wet with the Venu360. From what I can tell, the Venu360 really is a powerful and affective unit, and put in the right hands with someone doing pro live sound, it would be a major asset with getting an already decent sounding live system sounding even better!!
