dbx DriveRack PA2 Loudspeaker Control System

The dbx DriveRack PA2 Loudspeaker Control System is a PA loudspeaker management system. It provides all the processing you need between your mixer and amplifiers to optimize and protect your loudspeakers.

a complete system for optimizing, managing, and protecting live sound PA systems by providing automatic room correction (AutoEQ) and feedback suppression (AFS), as well as customizable crossovers, compression, limiting, and delay settings. It is designed to deliver the best possible sound at every gig, with an easy-to-use setup wizard and the ability to be controlled remotely via an Ethernet connection from an iOS, Android, Mac, or Windows device. The DriveRack PA2 sits between your sound mixer and your amplifiers, taking a stereo input and splitting it into six output channels. It processes this signal with a digital signal processor (DSP) to optimize the sound based on the room, the chosen speakers, and the specific gig. 

AutoEQ
The AutoEQ algorithm ensures an extremely accurate, fast, and non-intrusive automatic EQ experience. With the RTA Mic listening to your room, the new, updated dbx DriveRack PA2 AutoEQ algorithm sets speaker levels and room EQ automatically in a matter of seconds. This means room adjustments can be made very quickly, without subjecting the audience to annoying, lengthy broadcasts of pink noise.

AFS Feedback Elimination
AFS algorithm for fast, more precise feedback elimination, without adversely affecting your system's tone. Nothing turns audiences away like annoying and potentially painful audio feedback. Fortunately, dbx engineers have revisited their already-stellar Advanced Feedback Suppression algorithm and made it work even better. The dbx DriveRack PA2 listens for and anticipates feedback and adjusts speaker output automatically before it even has a chance, while never altering your sound.

Wizard Setup Functions
Wizard functions on the dbx DriveRack PA2 guide you through easy, step-by-step processes to help you get the most from your loudspeaker system. Helps you easily configure level balancing, AutoEQ, Advanced Feedback Suppression, and provides access to built-in and constantly updating speaker tunings from most major speaker manufacturers.
