Introduction
Drive your Studio to a whole new level of performance with the DriveRack ® Studio Complete
INTRODUCTION
Equalization & Loudspeaker Control System. The DriveRack Studio from dbx Professional
Products represents a complete integration of the key elements that help ensure optimal loud-
speaker system management in Studio-specific applications.
While the DriveRack was originally designed as an equalization and loudspeaker control sys-
tem for PA applications, we found that it can also provide a host of essential functions in home,
project and professional studio applications. In addition to the obvious equalization and com-
pression functionality, the DriveRack Studio can help you tune your room, switch between up
to three pairs of studio monitors, and (if you don't have the luxury of multiple pairs of moni-
tors) provide you with several different "Studio Monitor Emulation" templates. These templates
allow you to hear your mixes as you would through everything from a small 5" speaker though
traditional midfield monitors and beyond!
