1.3 Quick Start

For those of you that wish to jump right in, the following information has been provided to act as a quick start guide for optimizing performance of the DriveRack 260.

Connections

When setting up the DriveRack 260, make connections as follows:

•Always make connections prior to applying power to the unit.

•Connect the output(s) from the sending device (mixer) to the Ch. 1 XLR input connector (mono) or both, Ch. 1 and Ch. 2 XLR input connectors (stereo).

•Make output connections from the output XLR connector(s), shown below, to the input connector(s) of the selected power amps. For customers new to the DriveRack 260, we recommended starting with output 1 and then working up from there. Here are some examples:

•Full Range - Outputs 1 & 2 (all frequencies are passed)

•2-Way - Outputs 1 & 2 (highs), Outputs 3 & 4 (lows)

• 3-Way - Outputs 1 & 2 (highs), Outputs 3 & 4 (midrange), Outputs 5 & 6 (lows)

Of course you do have options to configure the DriveRack 260 differently than the examples listed above. However, for the novice user, adhering to the above connection examples will lower the probability of improper configuration.

If you have the optional RTA microphone, connect the microphone to the XLR RTA Mic Input.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended that the power amps are turned off prior to cycling power to the Driverack 260. Always make sure that your power amps are the last item turned on and the first turned off.

Once all of the connections have been made, and the unit is powered up, you can navigate through the entire signal path of the DriveRack 260 from the front panel of the unit. The display provides you with a clear and concise overview of each aspect of the signal path from the input (left side of display) to the output section (right side of display).
