DBX goRack [27/31] Application 4 using powered subwoofers

PERFORMANCE PROCESSOR

Application 4: Using Powered Subwoofers

This application is just like application 3 but with the addition of subwoofers and is better suited for larger DJ or live

performance applications. This type of configuration allows the goRack’s sub synth processing to be fully utilized. Powered

subwoofers designed for live sound use typically contain a built-in active crossover and additional line-level outputs that can be

connected to the main powered speakers, eliminating the need for an external active crossover.

Application Notes:

• Make sure your mixer and powered speakers (or amplifiers) are turned off before making connections.

• Make connections as described in ‘Making Connections’ on page 5 then apply power to the system according

to the instructions described in ‘Applying Power’ on page 5.

• The routing 2 option will work best for this application. See ‘Configuring The goRack’s Routing’ on page 6 for

information on goRack routing options.

NOTE: For best noise performance, balanced cables (XLR or 1/4” TRS Phone) should be used between the mixer and

goRack if the mixer’s outputs are balanced. See ‘Audio Cable Diagrams’ on page 26 for more information on these

cable types.
