They keep saying "powered speakers" It works on passive systems as well. Most powered speakers have built in DSP and built in xovers anyway. I have two PA 2's in my passive system. One controlling the tops and the other controlling the sub's. I run the tops through the main outs and the sub's coming from the zone. That way I can control both independently with just 2 knobs. The RTA only gives you in the ballpark.
The one thing that doesn't seem to be brought out is the PA2's ability to be used in a home stereo system to bring out the very best sound your system can produce. Apply most of the features to a home stereo, and you have taken care of many problematic issues that audiophiles spend fortunes on for room acoustics, component levels . . . even to controlling the speakers through an active crossover and multiple amps. The DBX DriveRack PA2 can polish the sound of a speaker system, take a driver with moderate weaknesses, and thereby compensate for those weaknesses. The same wizard can tame poor speaker levels while taking in room acoustics, and you can tweak them to suit your preferences . . . not to mention save them in the PA2 and/or to another source as a backup for instance. There again, this unit saves the audiophile a lot of money in buying much equipment to do the same job. Imagine the surprise of fellow listeners when they realize that your system sounds as good as theirs or even better -- and you didnt spend anywhere near what they did for approximately the same quality sound.
Exactly what I was thinking about: for home audio high fidelity purposes. For driving three identical amplifiers to self built 3-way speaker system. So you recommend this for audio philes at home? What are the build quality of the components? I mean at night at home with silent passages of a female vocal, wouldn't we hear lots of noise etc? This was meant as a PA device not home audio so I'm a bit afraid it might have bad harmonic distortion and not be dead silent. You own this device and how is your experience mate?
Hi, does anyone know why am am getting a slight clicking noise when I tip the dbx driverack pa2 up and down side to side its coming from the top vent area, if you put your ear next to it you can hear it more, if anyone could check yours, the dbx is brand new. Thank you
Helo! I'm Zidordinateur as I used DBX the DriveRack pa2's one, it's Good for a Sound system company, but why the USB port is only for the firmware update so why you don't try to let connect the USB and use the software? please I need to know why you don't put on it a DMX connector It's may Useful to the sound system company . I recommend you please add the wireless on it for me. thank's
Hi, I use a netgear wifi box and controlling it by my phone, twice the dbx has frozen up and can't do anything to the dbx until I turn it off then back on again and its fine then, I just wondered have anyone had any problems like this, it's only does this when the netgear box is plugged into the dbx driverack pa2 but not always just twice. Thanks
Could you use this to control a home studio? I am thinking of getting the JBL LSR 3 series 8 inch 5 inch and the sub woofer. would this be a good option to control all these speakers? Thank You for the review
If you have Presonus, you do not need Driverack use the smart Wizard, if you have drive rack you still need compressor for your vocals and your instruments
@@stalolinares6715 It's not an amp, it's a digital signal processor. It adjusts and filters the sound in many different ways, but does not amplify it, as would a power amp.........
