- AFS™ (Advanced Feedback Suppression)
- Graphic EQ
- 8-Band Parametric EQ (adjusted when using the AutoEQ)
- Subharmonic Synthesis
- Crossover (supports full range, 2-way, and 3-way systems)
- 8-Band Parametric EQs (used for speaker tunings)
- dbx Limiting
- Driver Alignment Delays
- All New Setup Wizard
- Streamlined AutoEQ™
- All New AFS™ (Advanced Feedback Suppression)
Why We Like This
The guided setup and remote-control workflow take much of the guesswork out of PA tuning while still providing the core processing needed to protect and optimize speakers.
FAQs
Q: What does the dbx DriveRack PA2 do?
A: It combines loudspeaker-system processing such as EQ, crossover, feedback suppression, dynamics, limiting, and delay in one rackmount processor.
Q: Does the dbx DriveRack PA2 support automatic system tuning?
A: Yes. The DriveRack platform includes guided setup tools and AutoEQ functions; a compatible measurement microphone is required for acoustic measurement.
Q: Can the dbx DriveRack PA2 be controlled remotely?
