Studio Monitor Management System

The dbx Professional Products DriveRack Studio provides all of the tools necessary to optimize Studio Monitor management in a single rack mount chassis design regardless of the environment. The DriveRack Studio offers dual XLR inputs and six XLR outputs, dual channel graphic EQ, classic dbx Compression, multiple crossovers, parametric EQ and a built-in real time audio analyzer. In addition, this audio toolbox provides the end user with 24 custom presets that have been specifically written and designed to work in tandem with the most popular studio reference monitors available. The DriveRack Studio now allows you to fine-tune even the most sonically challenged rooms.

The DriveRack Studio continues the legacy of DriveRack series, which has been created by the company that has been redefining the standard of signal processing for more than 30 years. The DriveRack Studio was designed with the purpose and vision of providing stateof-the-art signal processing in the studio environment, while utilizing a simple and intuitive user interface. This goal has been achieved by offering two independent channels of processing power with a linkable 28-Band Graphic equalizer, industry-standard dbx®stereo compressor module, feedback eliminator and the 120A Subharmonic Synthesizer on the input, with a six channel output system that includes parametric EQs, and Peak Plus™limiters (which are used to provide protection against speaker blowouts) and alignment delay. These features combined with the Wizard setup system, represent a methodical design that is guaranteed to deliver optimal, all-inclusive processing in a completely scalable system.
