The dbx DriveRack is the factory standard for loudspeaker management; its ease of use and intuitive controls set it apart from the rest.

    Register the DriveRack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When you take the DriveRack out of the box for the first time, you must register the unit with dbx. Upon registration, you will gain access to product updates and expedited warranty service. Keep your Sweetwater invoice handy; you\u2019ll need some information from it during registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Go to the dbx product registration page<\/a>.<\/li>
    2. Enter the required information, including the serial number. If your unit does not have a serial number, enter the date code, which you can find either on the rear of the unit or in the box.<\/li>
    3. Accept the terms, then click Submit Registration<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
