Harman is shipping its new dbx goRack Performance Processor, a loudspeaker management processor, which enables portable PA systems to be optimised for improved sound quality.
Distributed through Sound Technology, the goRack offers processing including EQ, compression, AFS Automatic Feedback Suppression, Subharmonic Synthesis for enhanced low-frequency response and more. Five buttons offer access to the most commonly used processing effects, and a large data wheel lets users dial in any of the goRack’s processing sound-enhancement effects including 20 musical genre-based 31-band graphic EQ settings.
The goRack’s compressor is based on the design of the original dbx 163X. It includes dual dbx mic preamps, selectable mic/line input settings, and AUX input and left and right channel volume controls.
“The dbx goRack boils all the essentials of our industry-leading DriveRack processors into an affordable product that is incredibly simple to use,” said Jason Kunz, market manager, Portable PA and Recording & Broadcast. “With the introduction of goRack, bands and musicians everywhere can now easily and significantly improve the sound of their PA.”
It connects between a mixer and an amplifier via its stereo inputs and outputs, which accommodate both XLR and 1/4-inch connectors. It can also be used as a stand-alone performance processor/mixer for a solo artist.
It is available now priced at just £79 RRP ex VAT.
