From Our Research Team:

Instantly Improve Your PA!

Here's a way to instantly get better results from your PA system. In fact, having the dbx DriveRack PX is like permanently hiring an experienced Live Sound Engineer! This Powered Speaker Optimizer can intelligently set itself up to get the best sound possible from your PA. Just bring the included measurement microphone with you to your next gig, run the "Wizard" setup, and let the DriveRack PX take it from there! It can instantly configure itself to get optimized EQ settings for the room, and an Advanced Feedback Suppression system kills nasty feedback before it ever starts. What's more, the patented Subharmonic Synthesizer onboard helps you extend bass response, so you get a full and rich bottom end, without the mud.

Beyond that, the dbx DriveRack PX also offers out-of-the-box support for a wide range of the most popular PA speakers out there. Just tell it what speakers you're using and your DriveRack PX will tailor itself to your specific setup. You've also got dbx "classics" onboard, so you can fine-tune your sound using some of the most respected tools in the industry. There's dbx compression, PeakStopPlus limiting, and even a tweakable dual 28-band graphic EQ. Better yet, once you've dialed in a sound you love, you can save it as one of 25 user presets. That way, if your band or rig ever goes back to the same venue, you're instantly ready to go!

With its array of "smart" built-in features and classic dbx sound, the DriveRack PX is an easy choice for any gigging band or FOH engineer. You'll enjoy louder, cleaner, better sound than you thought possible from your powered speakers!

This baby really does it all....auto EQ, smooth compression, limiting, anti-feedback. I run this with a pair of QSC K12's + 1 Ksub and it really makes my speakers shine for whatever room/situation I ... read more [+]am in.

My only reason for not giving it a 5 start rating is because of the documentation. There are a few things they left ouf of the manual which caused a little bit of confusion, however, it's not that hard of a product to figure out. close [-]

Great Little Unit

I've waited to post a review on this piece of gear since I wanted to see how well it help up in our situation.

Sonically, it is a great-sounding unit as long as proper attention is pa... read more [+]id to gain stages - from the source on stage all the way to the mains. I've found that using the reference mike and auto EQing the room provides a useful starting point, and best results are achieved by manually tweaking and overriding some settings.

Durability-wise, I am really impressed. We are a church that uses a school auditorium for services, and we have been loading in and out every week since 8/2008. All our gear is kept in an outside storage container all year round (New England weather). Despite the extremes in temp and humidity, this unit performs flawlessly. Of course, we allow ample time for our stuff to get to room temperature and "dry out" before even plugging it in.

It's nice not having separate EQ, comp, limiting, delays, crossovers, etc. And having presets are huge for us. We have different EQ presets for different weather conditions; what sounds nice and warm in the winter when it is dry, sounds harsh and tinny when it is hot and humid. Having the ability to recall the setting from last summer as a starting point is a HUGE plus, considering our time constraints each week.

I cannot recommend this gear enough! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Ron Daniel
After a lifetime of incorporating EQs, compressors, delays, and feedback supression into live sound systems, I discovered the DriveRack. I'm now a convert. Why anybody sets up a system without a DriveRack anymore is beyond me. My DriveRack PX allows me to show up at the gig, run a quick analysis, and have perfect EQ and AMAZING feedback supression. At gigs, I can now even move in front of the MAINS with my mic and have NO issues! I will never again go without a DriveRack!
