Operating Functions
The Operation section of the DriveRack™ PA will be your key to successful navigation of the
operation of the DriveRack™ PA. The following information provides descriptions about pro-
gram functions and operating functions of the DriveRack™ PA.
The first step in understanding the thorough programming capabilities of the DriveRack™ is to
understand the elements involved, that when combined, define a complete "program." Within
an individual program, there are several levels of editing that make up the complete program.
After turning the unit on, you will be at the "program" mode level. This level supplies the user
with current program information such as: current signal path, effect usage, and program name.
From this point, the DriveRack™ PA gives you the option of entering subsequent levels of oper-
ation that are dedicated to program editing. The Utility menu mode is accessed via the utility
menu, and is not part of a single program.
From the factory, the DriveRack™ PA is shipped with 25 factory programs that utilize carefully
constructed routing configurations that have been designed to accommodate virtually any sound
reinforcement and installation application. The factory programs offer a clear and concise
explanatory title to help get you up and running in a timely manner. These programs can also
be used as templates or starting points for the user to create custom programs.
Selecting Programs:
The quickest way to get up and running with the DriveRack™ PA is to use any one of the fac-
tory programs that are available in the box. When you reach the factory program, a FACT icon
will appear above the factory program name. From program mode, use the <DATA> wheel to
scroll through the various programs. As each factory program is selected, the display will clear-
ly indicate the title that is directly related to a specific application. Once a program is select-
ed, press the <DATA> wheel to load the program. The display will appear something like this:
