General

The DriveRack PA2 by DBX is a speaker management system and the successor to the PA+. DBX has much experience developing speaker management processors, and it shows with the PA2. It is easy to use, yet packs an immense amount of functions. Thanks to the practical Wizard function, you can easily adjust your speaker system to its surroundings. The AutoEQ algorithm uses the RTA microphone to record the room and automatically adjusts the EQ to make the sound of the speakers as linear as possible. Additionally, the AFS algorithm ensures quick and accurate feedback elimination, by applying narrow and steep filters. Moreover, you can now remotely adjust the settings of the DriveRack PA2 via apps for all common devices such as laptops, tablets and smartphones. Adjusting the PA2 will be done in a jiffy, while you are free to walk through the room to listen to the sound.

DBX DriveRack PA2: Extensive speaker management system

The 2 inputs of the processor can be distributed to 6 outputs (all XLR). These outputs can be set to function in a full-range setup, a two-way or a three-way system. On the input of the PA2 is a compressor algorithm which can compact your overall system. Use it right and the compressor allows you to create a higher volume while keeping the sound nice and neat. Moreover, there's an 8-band parametric EQ that allows you to adjust the sound to your liking, and a sub harmonic synthesizer to lay an additional octave below your lowest signal, resulting in a bass that goes properly deep.

The outputs of the PA2

The most important function of a speaker management system is to protect your speakers, which DBX show with the limiters on this system. These digitally controlled limiters let no peak go through, so your speakers will never be served more than they can handle. Additionally, there's an 8-band parametric EQ for each channel, which you can use to fine tune your speakers. Further still, there's a delay module on each output that allows for a true phase operation.

DBX DriveRack PA2 DriveRack PA2 Multi-Functional Speaker Processor

Ik had hem besteld voor de homestudio om mijn speakers neutraal klinkend te maken.. Een RTA microfoon van DBX had ik al. Toen ik de unit aansloot bleek één van de uitgangen niet goed, hij vertoonde knetter- en kraakgeluiden onafhankelijk van volume instellingen. De metingen toch uitgevoerd en het resultaat viel behoorlijk tegen vergeleken bij Sonarworks Reference4. Wellicht is deze Driverack PA2 minder geschikt voor kleine ruimtes? De unit retour gestuurd met 'geld terug' en dat laatste duurde ietwat lang.

Pluspunten:
Vele instellingen
Overzichtelijke en gebruiksvriendelijke App
Geluidskwaliteit 7

Minpunt:
De Rta microfoon vangt vaak het signaal niet op.
De Wizard loopt vaak vast.
2 in 3 out ipv 4 out

De gewone instellingen werken prima, maar zodra je met de Wizard aan de gang gaat loop je tegen wat teleurstelling aan.

Heb inmiddels de DBX234xs besteld en het lijkt er op dat het geluid iets beter is, misschien omdat het analoge signaal niet meer wordt omgezet. Hij kan minder maar werkt wel makkelijker. Ik denk dat ik de driverack pa2 terug stuur en nog een 234xs bestel. Kan dan 2x een 4 weg luidspreker gaan bouwen.

DBX DriveRack PA2 DriveRack PA2 Multi-Functional Speaker Processor

Na het apparaat een aantal maanden in gebruik te hebben durf ik wel te zeggen dat het echt waar voor je geld is. Hij is makkelijk in gebruik, na een uurtje ff lekker alles aanklikken begrijp je het wel. Vervolgens een beetje kloten met een WiFi extender en je kan ‘m via je smartphone of in mijn geval IPad handig alles fine tunen. Verder zit er geen uit knop, klein minpuntje!

Top product. Heel eenvoudig in gebruik! Luidsprekers zijn perfect af te stellen. Jammer dat je de mic er extra moet bijkopen.

DBX DriveRack PA2 DriveRack PA2 Multi-Functional Speaker Processor

Wat een mooi DBX product voor het optimaal afstellen van je geluid. Aanrader...!

Het is absoluut aan te bevelen de basis afstelling via de zogeheten Pink Noise goed uit te voeren, zodat je geluidssignaal optimaal staat afgesteld (o DB). Pas daarna aan de gang met alle andere instellingen, zoals goede afstelling XOVER, Limiter, Compressor en dergelijke.

Dan natuurlijk per locatie de Auto EQ met de RTA richtmic. Dan wordt het pas echt leuk. Alleen beetje jammer dat je deze specifieke richtmic separaat eu 95 moet aanschaffen... Hoort er eigenlijk bij...

Gebruik hem nu enige tijd. Zeer te vreden over vooral de handigheid dat je even snel met je iPhone of iPad je processor in kunt stellen tussen het publiek. Super
