Verkaufe hier nur eine DBX Driverack PA 2.
Das Gerät funktioniert einwandfrei und wurde getestet.
Timing matters here because this is a mature processor from an older generation, so value depends less on novelty and more on whether you want a dependable live-sound workhorse. At €300, it’s a bit above the €278 median and just over the €292 75th percentile, so this reads as slightly ambitious rather than a bargain.
That said, the unit is well regarded for system control, crossover management, and straightforward setup in small PA rigs, and a clean example with cables and accessories has real practical upside. If the hardware is tidy and fully functional, it can still be a sensible buy for someone who needs the tool rather than chasing the newest model. I’d only push back if the accessories are incomplete or there’s any sign of display, encoder, or I/O trouble.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Founded in 1971 in the United States by audio engineer David Blackmer, dbx emerged from his pioneering work in dynamic range processing. Blackmer, whose initials inspired the brand name, initially developed decibel expansion technology to enhance audio fidelity, aiming to capture the realism of live performances. The company's early innovations, including the dbx 202 "Boom Box" bass amplifier and the iconic dbx 160 compressor/limiter, quickly established it as a staple in professional studios and live racks during the 1970s and 1980s.
dbx specializes in professional audio signal processing equipment, with a legacy built on compressors, limiters, and noise reduction systems. Its lineup has expanded to include microphone preamps like the 286s, speaker management systems such as the DriveRack PA2, and modern rackmount processors in the CX and 500 Series. While it briefly ventured into consumer gear like speakers and amplifiers under BSR ownership in the late 1970s, dbx has steadfastly focused on pro-audio tools leveraging proprietary technologies like True RMS detection.
Now a division of Harman International (under Samsung), dbx holds a respected mid-tier position in the professional audio market, prized by engineers for reliable, workhorse dynamics control in broadcasting, live sound, and recording. Vintage models remain collector favorites, but current offerings compete effectively against digital rivals, blending heritage innovation with robust build quality for demanding applications.
