Welcome to the [r]evloutionThe [r]evolution is here! dbx® is pleased to announce the

next generation to the legendary DriveRack PA line. The original

DriveRack PA revolutionized audio for bands all around the world by

providing all of the processing you needed between your mixer and

amplifiers to optimize and protect your loudspeakers. The DriveRack

PA2 takes this revolution to a whole new level. A brand new Wizard

allows for faster and easier set-up, new AutoEQTM and AFSTM give

you professional touring quality room correction EQ and incredibly

accurate feedback suppression. And finally, all can now be controlled

on the fly with your mobile device or laptop using Ethernet control

via an Android,® iOS,® Mac,® or Windows® device. The DriveRack

PA2 continues the DriveRack legacy of great-sounding, powerful,

and affordable loudspeaker management processors for a

whole new generation.

Available Input Processing: < dbx Compression < AFS™ (Advanced Feedback Suppression) < Graphic EQ < 8-Band Parametric EQ (adjusted when using the AutoEQ) < Subharmonic Synthesis < Backline Delay

Available Output Processing: < Crossover (supports full range, 2-way, and 3-way systems) < 8-Band Parametric EQs (used for speaker tunings) < dbx Limiting < Driver Alignment Delays

New, improved AutoEQ algorithm ensures an extremely accurate, fast, and non-intrusive automatic EQ experience. With the RTA Mic “listening” to your room, the new, updated

DriveRack PA2 AutoEQ algorithm sets speaker levels and

room EQ automatically. This means room adjustments can

now be made very quickly, without subjecting the audience

to annoying, lengthy broadcasts of pink noise.

Enhanced AFS™ algorithm for faster, 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

developed a whole new generation of our Advanced

Feedback Suppression algorithm and made it work even

better. The DriveRack PA2 listens for and anticipates

feedback and adjusts speaker output automatically before it

even has a chance, while never altering your sound.
