DriveRack Expertise, a Benchmark in Speaker Management Systems
The dbx DriveRack PA2 continues the legacy of DriveRack sound processors, renowned for their reliability on tour and in fixed installations. This generation offers faster algorithms and a modernized interface while maintaining the sound quality and robustness that have made the brand famous.
Who Is It For and What For?
Ideal for contractors, performance venues, DJs, houses of worship, and music bars, the PA2 optimizes the chain between the console and amplifiers. It protects your speakers, speeds up setup, and ensures consistent sound reproduction from one venue to another, whether using a full-range system or a 2- or 3-way configuration.
Key Features and Innovations
Ultra-fast AutoEQ
The AutoEQ algorithm automatically corrects level and frequency response within seconds. Using an RTA microphone to listen to the room, it performs a sweep and applies corrections via parametric EQs for precise and repeatable calibration.
AFS Enhanced Feedback Suppression
The advanced AFS feedback suppression acts faster and more precisely, preventing unwanted hums and whistles without altering the sonic character of your sound system.
Guided Setup Assistant
The built-in guide walks you through each step: levels, AutoEQ, feedback elimination, and selection of speaker presets offered by major manufacturers, ensuring reliable results even under tight deadlines.
I/O Management and Precision Filtering
With 2 balanced XLR inputs and 6 balanced XLR outputs, the PA2 covers most modern sound reinforcement systems. Active filtering adapts to full-range, 2-way, or 3-way systems, complemented by alignment delays, a dbx limiter, and a sub-harmonic synthesizer to reinforce bass foundation.

Questions frequently asked
Can the dbx DriveRack PA2 handle a 2-way or 3-way PA system?
The active crossover supports full-range, 2-way, and 3-way configurations. The 6 balanced XLR outputs allow feeding the different system channels.
How many XLR inputs and outputs are available?
The connectivity includes 2 balanced XLR inputs and 6 balanced XLR outputs.
How does the AutoEQ work with a measurement microphone?
AutoEQ uses an RTA microphone placed at the listening position in the room. A sweep is generated, then the parametric equalizers apply level and frequency response corrections. The calibration takes only a few seconds as described.
Is the feedback suppression system integrated?
The AFS Enhanced function provides advanced feedback suppression. It targets unwanted whistles and hums with a faster and more precise action.
What are the audio performance specifications of the processor?
The frequency response is specified from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, with a tolerance of +/-0.5 dB. The 24-bit dbx Type IV conversion operates at 48 kHz. The dynamic range reaches 110 dBA, or 123 dB with Type IV.
