The dbx DriveRack 260 is a professional 2x6 loudspeaker management system engineered for touring sound professionals and high-end audio installations. With decades of dbx expertise behind it, the 260 delivers precision signal processing, reliability, and flexibility for any commercial or live sound application.

Designed to maximize system performance, the DriveRack 260 provides full bandpass and crossover configurations, independent output processing, and a full-time Real-Time Analyzer (RTA) for live sound tuning. Its Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS™) ensures clear audio even in challenging acoustic environments.

The 260 combines two independent input channels with a linkable 28-band graphic EQ, dbx stereo compressor, feedback eliminator, and 120A Subharmonic Synthesizer. On the output side, it offers six channels of processing, including parametric EQs, PeakStopPlus® limiters for speaker protection, and alignment delay for precise system tuning. The Wizard setup system and DriveWare™ GUI simplify configuration, making it scalable and user-friendly for both touring and fixed installations.
