Dbx driverack 480 !! Speaker management system dbx driverack 480 4 in 8 uit speakermanagement system vaste prijs : 550 euro af te halen in den haag in overleg ook te verzenden, 15 euro tel / whatsapp
€550 is fair-to-good for a used DBX DriveRack 480 if it’s complete and functional.
The 480 is a respected pro-DSP processor: solid crossover, EQ, alignment, and limiting in one rack unit, and it still makes sense for a serious active system or custom install. The included cables and accessories add real value, since these units are easiest to buy when they’re ready to drop into a rack. With condition unknown, I’d want confirmation that all outputs work cleanly, the display/buttons are healthy, and the unit boots reliably, but at this price it reads more like a sensible buy than an opportunistic bargain.
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.
