Section 4 - Operating Functions
The Operation section of the DriveRack® PA+ will be your key to successful navigation. The
following information provides descriptions about preset functions and operating functions of
the DriveRack PA+.
4.1 Preset Definition
The first step in understanding the thorough preset capabilities of the DriveRack PA+ is to
understand the elements involved, that when combined, define a complete “preset.” Within an
individual preset, there are several levels of editing that make up the complete preset. After
turning the unit on, you will be at the “preset” mode level. This level supplies the user with
current preset information such as: current signal path, effect usage, and preset name. From
this point, the DriveRack PA+ gives you the option of entering subsequent levels of operation
that are dedicated to preset editing. The Utility menu mode is accessed via the UTILITY
button, and is not part of a single preset.
4.2 Navigating Factory Presets
From the factory, the DriveRack PA+ is shipped with 25 factory presets that utilize carefully
constructed routing configurations that have been designed to accommodate virtually any
sound reinforcement application. The factory presets offer a clear and concise explanatory
title to help get you up and running in a timely manner. These presets can also be used as
templates or starting points for the user to create custom presets.
Selecting Presets:
The quickest way to get up and running with the DriveRack PA+ is to use one of the factory
presets that are available in the box. To select a preset, press and hold the PRESET/RECALL
button. Turn the Data Wheel to scroll through the various presets. As each factory preset
is selected, the display will clearly indicate the title that is directly related to a specific
application. Press the Data Wheel to load the selected preset (or press the PRESET/RECALL
button to cancel). The display will appear something like this:
