DBX DBX260V

The dbx DriveRack 260 is a powerful loudspeaker management processor engineered for professional touring, portable sound systems, and fixed installations. It delivers a comprehensive suite of tools for optimizing and protecting your audio system, ensuring precise control and pristine sound in any environment. With dual-channel processing, a six-channel output matrix, and advanced features like automatic EQ, real-time analysis (RTA), and feedback suppression (AFS), the DriveRack 260 elevates any PA system's performance.

From auto gain control and crossover configuration to classic dbx compression, PeakStopPlus limiting, and the 120A Subharmonic Synthesizer, this processor integrates everything needed for complete signal processing. The 260 also supports PC control via RS-232, JBL and Crown preset wizards, and includes wall panel logic control for contractor applications-making it both flexible and scalable for any professional audio setup.

• Comprehensive Loudspeaker Control: Offers full bandpass, crossover, EQ, compression, and routing for precise system tuning.

• 6 Outputs, 2 Inputs: Two independent input channels and six output channels allow flexible speaker configurations.

• Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS): Automatically detects and eliminates problem frequencies during live performance.

• Built-In Auto-EQ and RTA: Real-time analyzer and Auto-EQ with pink noise generator optimize sound for any room.

• Setup Wizard: Guided setup process includes JBL speaker and Crown amp tunings for easy system integration.

• 28-Band Graphic EQ & Parametric EQ: Flexible EQ options on both input and output channels for fine-tuning audio.

• Classic dbx Compression & PeakStopPlus Limiting: Ensures system protection and polished dynamic control.

• Zone & Alignment Delay: Up to 2.7 seconds of delay per channel for precise time alignment in complex installations.

• Wall Panel Control Inputs & RS-232 Control: Ideal for contractors and installed sound, allowing remote control and integration.

• Secure & Scalable: Security lockout, DriveWare GUI, and scalable architecture make it suitable for portable and permanent systems.
