Not really (if you know how to use it properly). I bought one a year ago and it has been one of the best purchases I have ever made for my sound system. Wonderful eq and crossover, excellent limiters to protect my speakers and the automatic feedback suppressor is a killer feature.

It’s not really overkill you should have a limiter and eq and anti feedback on most systems and it’s nice to be able cut at around 30 to 50hz on subs it especially important to have feedback suppression so you can get a cleaner mic signal as you can put your gain higher. The dbx driver rack pa2 is worth it and setting deley between tops and subs can improve how natural the bass sounds and can stop the bass sounding detached from the rest of the music.

To optimize signal to noise ratio, the signal path should be at unity all the way to the amps. The amps should be at the lowest possible gain for the desired output level. If you leave your amps at max gain before clipping it will amplify any noise along the signal path and introduce its own noise. If you use the minimum gain on the amp you avoid both noise sources (signal path + amp)

For the most part your video was great - thank you for putting it together! I just wanted to point out an error - at around 30mins you talk about meter levels and you are trying to get 0db on your DJ mixer to line up with 0db on the DBX - what you didn't notice is that the mixer's meter scale is dBVU and the DBX meter scale is dBFS - in other words, the DJ mixer has a VU meter and the DBX has a peak meter - those are two very different scales, and 0 dBVU is not the same as 0 dBFS!! Further, you go on to claim that +4 is rare in the DJ world, and quite to the contrary, it's actually very common (on the outputs). So, to sum up, 0 dBVU is around -18 dBFS (which you initially had correct until you switched the DBX to -10), and the inputs to the DBX should be set to +4 (pro audio gear levels) if you're using the XLR outputs from most any DJ mixer/controller. If you're going to use the RCA outputs, then you'd use -10 (for consumer gear audio levels). Running your DBX up almost to 0 dBFS is leaving nearly no amount of headroom and you're pretty much guaranteed to clip, which, in the audio world, is very bad. So for anyone reading this, if you're using a DJ mixer with balanced XLR/TRS outputs, make sure your downstream gear is set to +4.

Most professionally produced songs master the bass frequencies as mono even though the rest of it is stereo. Of course you could run the rig with subs on either side below your tops (which isn’t a good setup due to the uneven bass output pattern from the interference from spacing the subs apart laterally), but from my experience running live sound and djing and with audio engineering, I think it’s probably best to just let the DriveRack DSP sum the bass going to the subs to mono and send that to all subs to avoid any phase interference if songs are mixed differently.

I just attempted to download the app onto my MacBook Pro (Catalina OS) and my Samsung Galaxy S10 and it would not work with either because the DBX Driverack Pa2 app has not been updated for either. They also don't have any of the EV ETX, EKX, ELX or ZLX speakers or subwoofers in the system. Is there a way to program the EQs manually (since I don't have an App to do it)?

I have been using DBX driveracks, various models, for decades. One thing about the DB2 and Venu compared previous models is that they are more sensitive to brownouts than the previous models. If you are plugging into mains power and are using appropriate gauge wire, this won't be an issue, but if you're running on generators it's possible for bass hits to drop the input voltage and brownout the PA2 which will cause it to freeze or reboot. This can happen to the PA, PA+ and PX but they are far less sensitive. I only know this because I am often running sound systems on generator power.

I think now by watching the video. I can get my older driverack pa+ to do what you did with 3 different outputs. That’s what I really need. Besides doing it the easy way and somehow connecting another pa mixer to just control those. But that’s too much stuff when I can simplify it. Hopefully I can figure it out

Yo Rick, I’ve had my PA2 for years now and saw this video years ago and set mine up to how you say in this video for my QSC speakers and K12 subs. But I always wondered, should I be using an external Mixer board with the PA2 or just the PA2? Help me out.

I normally use an external mixer board. Used to use just my sz which worked but mixer board is better

I would say its not overkill for the mobile dj. Especially, if you know all the uses of each program. I’ve been using a Driverack Pa for a decade. Compressor/Limiter protects my Mackie Srm450 for blowing out. Subharmonic can make the bass sound better. Feedback Eliminator and EQ’s kills the feedback 😅and make your speakers sound better. Of course the uses of crossover And etc……

What a dope video. I still need a driverack for dummies course. How does this work with a mixer? I have a behringer x1622 with USB, 4 tops and 4 subs

Amazing tutorial Rick, because of your channel I purchased this device, so thank you! I have a few questions: At the gain staging part where you're making sure the Dj mixer is @ 0db are the gains from your Yamaha 12 mixer at 0db/Unity as well? Also, how would you configure or set up your subs if they're plugged in through an AUX channel of the external mixer but want to integrate it w/ the DBX?

Got a dbx pa2 setting gain structure shouldn’t it be left at +4db if your using balanced Xlr outputs, Using mine with a 900nsx2 mixer. Got one because of your video.

Hi Rick Do you set the crossovers on the powered speakers n subs themselves to match or leave everything off and let the DR sort it out?

Hey Rick, thank you for making this video on the DBX DriveRack Pa2. your video is very helpful. I just got one yesterday and I was trying to follow you on your steps on hacking all three channel on the DriveRack to make them full range. While looking at your video I was able to setup what I believe is the high channel cross over setup. Now when I was trying to setup the Mid and Low channel output to do the cross over I noticed that the setting was the same on all channels. But while looing in your video I must have miss the step that shows you switching between the channel on how to setup the other 2 channels. Can you please help me out with this? Thank you

Hello. the input delay is for both L-R channels at once or can be separated for each channel separately. I am interested if the column on one of the cups wants to move it harder in case I need it! with the bas-mid-hi alignment it's clear but I don't know if this can be separated at the input! hello

Have a question. I have a live band, how do I separate wat comes out the lows and what comes out the highs, followed all your steps and everything comes out all at once words through the bottom subs. I have 4 black widow sp2 18s and 4 sp2 15 tops

There is only one input so you can separate instruments if thats what you mean. You can only set the crossovers of each output

Dj Rick, love your videos and thank you. Does adding a power amp to a mixer make your system louder?
@DJRickWeb
@DJRickWeb Жыл бұрын
Ultimately your powered speakers or amp-speaker combo determines how loud the system will be. Your mixer and processing units are there to control the sound.

Yes, it seems like overkill for a wedding DJ setup. However I helped do a 500 person monthly House, EDM music gig. So once we locked in the sound. It was easy to pull it up each time at the venue. The room auto EQ function is ok. I generally use it to get an idea of what might be wrong with the room. The great thing is that you can turn it off and tune the system by ear. The EQ does doo a good job on the lower end freqs. I don't use the Feedback but that could be useful in somewhere like a church or a band. I like setting an HP filter for the subs around 40 or 45HZ, -24db.. I do use the Compressor. I figure it might help save my gig from blowing out if there is an accident. All in all, I feel as though better sound could be had with a DR. The larger the system, the more I am tempted to use a DR.

Good day , if your console deliver balance signal +4 DB you must set the driverack +4 DB , if you are sending unbalance signal to the driverack as your controller you must ser -10 db after that you have to set the gain structure.

Passive Speakers have built in crossovers as well. Some are just better than others.

I just bought one and I can't get the app to work either on my MacBook Pro or my Samsung Galaxy S10 because the apps have not been upgraded probably since 2017 or 2018. What's worse is that they do not have any of my EV speakers or subs in their menu

Dbx is not compatible with mac. Only works on windows. And you must be doing something wrong because I was using an s10 in the video. Lastly, EV is not listed due to company reasons. DBX is part of Harmon technology. Under the harmon brand is dbx, sound craft, jbl, akg, crown, audio technica and a few others. They dont support ev because it's a rival company. I do agree they should update the app though. 2017 is pretty dated.

@@DJRickWeb I had to follow-up with you. I had to contact Linksys to ensure that I was setting up my router appropriately. Originally it was set up using a CD-rom 6 years ago. They helped my reset the router and change the network name to my DJ name (which made it easier to locate). Much love to you for walking through all this detail (as I just finished doing it all to my setup). Looking forward to your other videos on the other features!!

On my dbx drive 2 the mid green lights are off. An I don't know how to turn it on so I can use the mid signal. This video is a big help to me thanks a lot for doing the demo. I would like learn about the other controls on the dbx drive rack....
