Which one is better for Dj
Bbe ds24 or the Dbx Driverack PA?
Re: Which one is better for Dj
Neither is specifically geared towards DJ use. If I were to choose one, I'd probably go with the BBE DS24, because it's cheaper and there's plenty of reviews out there by DJs using it. IIRC, the DRPA has a few more options and a few more inputs/outputs... but nothing I'd use over the DS24, personally.

I am a DJ and use the DRPA+, wish I would have saved a little more and got the DR 260

touching my equipment so at this point it has not been a problem.

Re: Which one is better for Dj
I have both but just got the BBE recently so I haven't gigged it yet. Go for the Driverack if your mobile, as I am. You can calibrate your room in minutes, it isn't perfect but better than having to take time to do it manually. The driveracks do have a tendency to make the highs a little harsh from what I ready and experienced. Not sure if this is true with Bills tops.
Also unless your bi-amping the tops then the Driverack Px should cover you. I am hoping for a cheap, computer software to cover the auto eq in the future since my amps are all XTIs.

Re: Which one is better for Dj
You mean a DRPA? The PX can be used with passive speakers but is designed for powered speakers. You have to enter everything manually for your amps, its kind of a pain. Yes, it will work, but get a DRPA.subharmonic wrote: Also unless your bi-amping the tops then the Driverack Px should cover you.

Again unless he is bi-amping the tops I don't see a reason for the PA, the PX covers the tops and subs.

Re: Which one is better for Dj
Right, but its a pain, imo, to have to manually input the amp settings. I used to use a PX and thought it was super annoying.subharmonic wrote:imnotded wrote:You mean a DRPA?
