dbx Releases Upgraded DriveRack Firmware
March 12, 2001dbx announces the release of version 2.0 firmware for its DriveRack line of
complete equalization and loudspeaker management systems. The upgraded firmware
enhances the user interface and integrates MIDI mute and Q controls.
The upgraded version 2.0 firmware will be available in March and is compatible
with all 480 series DriveRack units. The upgrade also provides faster network
control, network monitoring of level and gain reduction meters and improved limiter
topology.
"The new version 2.0 firmware provides greater flexibility and power to
live sound engineers." said Rob Urry, president of Harman Music Group. "It's
very easy to use and allows for total control of all aspects of loudspeaker management."
dbx DriveRack units are designed for touring and fixed-installation contractors
and engineers. Units feature complete EQ, crossover and compressor/limiter technology
and are designed to be the only signal processors necessary between mixing consoles
and powered amplifiers.
Multiple DriveRack units can also be networked together using dbx's DriveWare
interactive software. The DriveWare software allows an engineer to control and
edit parameters on multiple DriveRack units in a large venue all from one centrally
located PC. Networked units, depicted graphically on the PC, can be easily accessed
and controlled by clicking on a unit's image. For more information, visit their web site at www.dbxpro.com. |
