Dbx VENU360 3x6 Speaker Management System

The DBX's DriveRack VENU360 is a loudspeaker-management processor that protects and optimises front-of-house, stage monitor, delay-fill, and zone loudspeaker systems in clubs, outdoor music events, and houses of worship.

Connect this signal processor between the mixer and the amplifiers/powered speakers for the precise feedback elimination, automatic speaker level and room equalization, crossover-frequency setting, dbx compression/limiting, driver alignment delay, and other features.

A 5 x 6 routing/mixing matrix (using four AES signals and one analogue signal) and a 3 x 6 signal processing chain are provided.  The 24-bit A/D and D/A converters with dbx Type IV conversion protect the incoming audio signal from accidental digital clipping at the A/D stage, while the internal 32-bit floating point, 48/96 kHz processing produces professional audio quality with high headroom and wide dynamic range.

The Wizard functions guide you through simple, step-by-step process and help you quickly configure the unit with minimal effort. You can gain more control by using the manual mode, which allows you to customise each parameter separately. An easy-to-read visual feedback is provided by a large, bright LCD display with nine 6-segment signal metres. Furthermore, there is a free DriveRack VENU360 control application, that provides network control via the built-in Ethernet port is available on iOS, Android, Mac, and Windows-compatible devices.
