DBX DriveRack+ with bonus RTA mic included (limited time)
It's hard to think of how we should categorise the DriveRack PA+ . Really, at this price it's a great performing active crossover for a multitude of PA applications: 2x3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6 crossover configurations.
But with so much DSP horsepower under the bonnet, it's way more than 'just' a crossover. Includes a dbx 120A Sub-harmonic Synthesizer; Dual 28-band Graphic EQ (linked or dual mono); stereo multi-band parametric EQ; stereo output limiters; output alignment delay, and a bunch of other stuff.
RTA - what's it all about? When we mentioned above that there was 'a bunch of other stuff' included in DriveRack PA+, really, that was quite the understatement.
Also inside the 1U box is stereo feedback elimination with 12 feedback notch filters, and if you've got a RTA (real time analyser) mic, you'll be able to punch in the Auto EQ™ Wizard function for some intelligent RTA love - automatically tune the room / venue with the touch of a button.
Just how well does Auto EQ Wizard work - can it pull a sound better than your trusted ears combined with years of experience can achieve? Probably not if you're wearing the 'hired gun' badge, or have 'system tech' on your lammy, but then again if that's you...you're not hitting the auto button anyway.
What Auto EQ Wizard will offer you though, is a safe (feedback-free) operating envelope, easily and everytime, every room.
And the best bit? We've just ordered a bunch of DBX goodies, and for all the Drive Rack PA+ now in stock, they are coming with a FREE dbx RTA-Mic. The RTA-M on its own currently has a Recommended Retail Price of $139 - they've come down considerably in recent years, but nothing is as good as free!
So if you are ready to make your system setup simpler allowing you to spend more energy on mixing, now is a great time - with dbx Drive Rack PA+ on special for JUST $579, and a FREE dbx RTA-M thrown in for good measure (or good measuring, as it were).

You probably already know that we've never liked doing things by halves here. So we've gone the whole hog on this deal, having just taken delivery of a serious stack of dbx rack gear.

And just to make it smiles all round, we also have a few other bits and pieces by DBX that have been marked down to make life a little easier. We get it - these reliable and proven 19" rack mountable signal processors are tools, not toys. So we are simply making sure you can get hold of them for the right price.

Great deals, bec$AUS we can!
If you've been looking for an upgrade to your PA system or a new addition to the studio, there has never been a better time...and it's most definitely a case of first in, best looked after.
Recently the wheels have fallen off our dollar, and most pro audio wholesalers have reacted by putting prices up. As more than casual observers, we are amazed at how quickly we've received TWO price rises (or one enormous one) from some of our suppliers.
In fairness to them, many pro audio importers had significantly lowered the Recommended Retail Price of many lines while the going was good, although the drop in prices seemed to take a lot longer (and less steep) than the recent rises, which have been quick and big.
So rather than reducing our stock levels and running lean...we went out and spent the last of our beer money buying as much stock as possible to ensure we can offer the best deals around. We figure that the summer festival season doesn't care about our $AUD, nor does the upgrade your studio needs. The only thing that gets affected by a big price rise is your bottom line - that is, unless you go for it while you can.
While we've got stock, take advantage because the deals simply cannot last. Once our stock is gone, we'll have to replace it with more expensive stock.
Brands we have really bought up big on include: RCF (the great wall of Art boxes), Allen & Heath (Zed mixers, Wizard Mixers and GL2400 series), DBX (comps, graphics and drive racks), Soundcraft (EPM & EFX series mixers), Avalon (heaps of the black VT-737SE), Shure Wireless (PGX / SLX) and Wired (SM series & Beta Series), Sennheiser (Evolution wirelss + e900 series vocal & instrument mics), Soundcards by Presonus & RME, plus heaps more.
Until the new prices have settled (around first week of November '08...though there's probably more grief to come), we've disabled many 'go' prices on our website. We will be looking after existing customers first. This means that if your name is not already on our database, you'll need to subscribe to get the best possible pricing.
Think of it as an early Christmas pressie ; )
