dbx DriveRack VENU360 Loudspeaker Management System
The VENU360 is the complete processing chain between a console and the amplifiers, in one 1U box. Three analog line inputs, which double as two AES digital inputs on shared connectors, feed six XLR line outputs, and every block a live system needs sits in between: crossover, parametric and graphic EQ, compression, gating, subharmonic synthesis, and alignment delay up to 1000 ms per output.
The two features that save the most time on site are AutoEQ, which tunes the room using the dedicated RTA microphone input, and Advanced Feedback Suppression, which finds and notches ringing frequencies before they take over a wedge. Conversion is 24-bit with 32-bit floating point processing at 48 or 96 kHz, giving 114 dB A-weighted dynamic range, 0.0025% THD+N, and 2.57 ms of analog latency at 48 kHz. The unit is 19 x 8 x 1.75 inches, 5.48 lbs, and draws 18 W.
