3.5 Creating a User Configuration

The 260 has 25 Factory Presets in which to choose from. For some configurations, you may be able to simply select one of these presets as a starting point and edit the program from there. In the Quick Start section of this manual, you saw how you can use the Wizards to configure basic programs (i.e. stereo Full Range, stereo 2-Way and stereo 3-Way programs with mono or stereo subs). The Wizard works especially well if your speakers and amps are in the list. However, there may be times when the routing in your configuration may need to be changed, you want to link/unlink processing modules or select different DSP inserts in the signal chain. This is where the Driverack 260’s User Configuration mode comes in. User Configuration is an ideal feature available in the DriveRack 260. Even with the versatility of the Factory Preset configurations within the DriveRack, there may be an application that requires a unique “custom” program configuration. The DriveRack gives you the ability to create a custom routing configuration by selecting and modifying the modules including: Inputs, pre-crossover EQ, an insert section which includes: Notch Filter, Compressor, Gates, AGC, Subharmonics Synthesizer and AFS (Advanced Feedback Suppression), Crossovers, post-crossover Parametric EQ, Dynamics, post Delay, Output Gain and Phase. The following information contain a standard block diagram of the signal path in the DriveRack 260 which can be used as a reference map, as well as step-by-step instructions for creating custom user configurations.
