dbx DriveRack PA 24-Bit EQ Loudspeaker Control System
Stereo Feedback Elimination. 12 feedback notch filters.
"Absolutely required equipment for any band."
Feature:
The EQ and compressor components are incredible. They shape the sound superbly. It helps those of us that aren't sound engineers to get a great sound with little effort. The ability to save settings for different rooms and speakers is just awesome! We've used it in our church and in our gym for concerts - it totally rocks!
Quality:
This box makes you sound like a CD recording. It's freakin' unbelievable. Black magic, baby...
Value:
It's worth twice the price, but fortunately priced so that you can afford it.
Ease of Use:
The manual is exceptionally clear. Once you've "pinked the room" you are good to go. You CAN pick up tips from their web site, but even using it out of the box with the manual, you can get a great sound. The ONLY strange/difficult thing is that the engineers chose to use XLR cables as the only interface to this device. If you're like me, my live mixer can only output 1/4 cables (a mackie mixer) so you have to buy (or build) xlr to 1/4 cables or use adapters. A mild annoyance for the HUGE benefit this thing gives you!
Support:
Did not need service and don't expect to. Did visit their support site for tips and found that rich with content. Very attentive monitoring on that site.
Overall:
This device is as close to "magic" as you can get. Once you've pinked the room and engaged the compressor, your mix is to die for. We have NEVER sounded better. We keep getting complements and questions as to what in the world we've done to our sound to be so good. I always point to the "magic box" - the driverack PA. It is - no joke - THE best piece of equipment I have ever owned. It does everything it advertises and more and you don't have to be a sound engineer to reap HUGE benefits from it. I beg of you - if you play live - for the sake of your audience, GET THIS DEVICE!!!!

"DBX Rackdriver will make you happy"
Feature:
The most useful features.....ONE RACK SPACE do it all machine Favorite feature: Subharmonics I wish the DBX manual listed in detail MORE from processor to amp to speaker diagrams. On the otherhand the customer service reps can guide you through set up assuming you call them during normal bankers hours
Quality:
The DBX was double boxed from my local dealer and has a nice professional finish. I feel as long as I keep it secured in my rack I will have no issues with it on the road.
Value:
you do the math of buying all these seperate processors. Sure makes troble shooting easier??
Sound:
Sound Characteristics from a DJ's point of view....The best purchase I ever made for my DJ rig. Gets the correct sound out hides or destoys 60HZ hum with a vengence. I use Yorkville Amps and Yorkville Elite Series 2108 subs and 2152 tops. I can but have not bi-amped the 2152's. I have never pushed this system beyond normal volume levels for fear of instant death. Just Kidding
Support:
DBX support is above average and the techs know exactly how to make the rackdriver sing at it's best.

"I thought my PA was top notch"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
That was until my PA was tested with the Drive Rack, I immediately traded my compressor and crossover in and bought the driverack. It makes vocals cleaner and your bass more smooth and punchier. Trust me, you got to have one.
"saves rack space and weight and is a sound techs tool!"
this unit replaces a 28 band eq, a parametric eq, is a RTA, a feed back controller, takes up one rack space, it's weight is 6 lbs., has factory presets if you haven't got time to do your own. it does take some time to learn how to use it properly. the more you explore it's possiblities the better tool it becomes.
"It makes setup a snap. A must have item for small PA"
Setting sound levels has never been easier. The only downfall...So many features, so little "play time". I'll probably never be able to take advantage of all that this thing can do. But I'll try.
