To make operation of the DriveRack 260 even more convenient, dbx includes the option of using the DriveRack PC GUI software (DriveWare™) and/or Zone Controllers (sold separately). The following section contains some basic information regarding the utilization of the DriveWare™ software including: install, system requirements, cable specifications, basic operation and setup for dbx Zone Controllers.

6.1.1 DriveWare™ PC Software GUI

MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

•266mhz PC processor

•16 bit color monitor

•64 meg RAM

•Windows™ 95 OS R2 or newer - Windows™ NT 4.0 or newer

•Baud Rate (fixed) 38400

Note: The COM (communication) port must be consistent. This means that when the GUI is in use, any other software applications that use the RS-232 COM port must be closed. If your computer does not have a physical RS-232 COM connection, there are aftermarket USB to RS-232 adapters and PCMCIA cards which will work. However, not all such peripheral devices are compatible. Please visit www.dbxpro.com for the latest information on compatible peripherals.

INSTALLATION

•Insert the included CD ROM into your computer’s CD drive. You can also download the DriveWare software GUI from our website at www.dbxpro.com.

•Once the software is downloaded or CD is loaded, double click the DriveWare Setup file.

•The application will proceed to ask you where you want the program installed. The default location is advised, but if you do prefer to install the software in a different location, select it here.

CONFIGURATION I

•Once the software installation has completed, go into Window’s Device Manager>Ports. Take note of which COM port number your COM port is assigned to (you may need to change DriveWare’s preferences to match this COM port assignment number). Double left click on your COM port from the Device Manager list and set your COM Port’s Properties as shown below:

	• It is recommended that you now shut down your computer.

Gain structure refers to aligning the gain of each device so that they all clip at the same point, and the noise floor of the entire system is at its absolute minimum. Quite often PA systems are setup with the amplifier input controls turned all the way up in the incorrect assumption that this is the only way to get the maximum output level. Amplifiers are fixed gain devices, turning down the amplifier input attenuators does not change the potential output of the amplifier; it only requires more input voltage to get full output power. Many amplifiers will clip with an input level greater than +6 dBu when the input attenuators are turned all the way up. Most mixing consoles can deliver over +18 dBu of output level before clipping. This means that with your amps tuned all the way up you are sacrificing 12 dB of headroom, resulting in poorer noise performance and the potential of system clipping. By adjusting the amplifier controls properly, you can maximize your system performanceDriveRack AppendixPage Fax 801 Int’l Fax: 801 Questions or comments? 8760 South Sandy Parkway Sandy, Utah Phone: 80118-1796V-EPrinted in China
