442 DriveRack
Complete Equalization Management System
®
The DriveRack ® 442 Complete Equalization Management System is the latest product in
the DriveRack ® line. The 442 is based on the same operating system as the DriveRack ®
480 and offers the user four inputs and four outputs on XLR connectors. Each channel
has EQ in the form of a 9-Band Parametric or a 31-Band Graphic and Notch Filters. In
addition the 442 features a filter set that can be used to create a Highpass, Lowpass or
Bandpass filter. Dynamics processing is available on all channels with a
Compressor/Limiter that emulates the classic dbx 160. The output section of the 442
offers delay, output level and phase compensation. The 442 is also capable of running
dual real-time analyzers on channels three and four. A 480 master, a PC GUI, or a 480R
remote can control the 442. Any combination of 480s, 481s, 482s and 442s can be con-
trolled on a single DriveRack ® network consisting of up to 100 units.
The 442 DriveRack continues the legacy DriveRack series, which has been created
by the company that has been redefining the standard of signal processing for more
than 30 years. dbx ® Professional Products has created a product that caters to
numerous applications in tour sound and sound contractor requirements.
The 442 DriveRack was designed with the purpose and vision of providing four
independent channels of processing power that includes 31-Band Graphic equalizer,
as well as dbx’s own industry standard dynamics processing. All aspects of the
aforementioned features can be controlled by the included dbx Professional
Products Interactive DriveWare™ software. Software updates can also be down-
loaded instantly from www.dbxpro.com through the RS 232 port.
