dbx DriveRack VENU360

Work very good, item seem brand new.

I only set this up an hour ago, so in no way a deep review! I have a fairly substantial system and got this to split high and lows to bi-amp my floor standers (JBL690's) I wanted to set up manually, but it sems there are only loadable presets for input to output path. Not a bother because stereo in to stereo 2-way out is one of the presets. After that I found the wizards and did setup with the RTA mic (100% must buy it separately) and that was it! My speakers sounded great before, but now: WOW! Small gripe: can't connect to USB for configuring. I had to buy a crossover Ethernet cable to wok with my laptop. Update: ignore my remark about limited configurations; anything you like is possible! After a few months of owning I added an extra sub to my LFE and used 3rd in for this to make two band outputs (5&6) to the subs. I have a new 18" sub on 26<>46hz and the old 3x12's running 40<>150hz. I love EDM and this unit makes my system kick ass!

I had the PA2/ driverack 260 but the Venus 360 is just epic in its own way Likes: 1: Very clear layout of paremeters and modules 2: AGC works great and helps to do the job of old TC Helicon Finalizer 3: Network setup comes with DHCP as default and connects troublefree to your mobile phone and system via a router 4: 3 Inputs system allows for Mid/side or Aux Sub processings and more 5: Operates both with 100/220 Volts 6: Very Strong Limiters with Overeasy settings 7: Input Mixer allowing A + B/ A+C/ B+C configuration 8: Sub Harmonic synthesis gives you full control over the Low and Lowest ends of the frequency spectrum 9: Locks Crossover settings to avoid accidental changes 10: Very bright Screen, great compressors, and more Dislikes 1: None 2: None None 3: None None None 4: None None None None 5:None None None None None Expectations 1: Four Input Venus 360/ 460 to jhelp process FOH sound plus Livestream together in one device. we are really trying to minimize the number of equipment we carry around in this new world we are Thanks Thanks Thanks

WARNING DO NOT BUY THIS, THE COMPANY WILL NOT FIX THE APP COMPATIBILITY FOR ANDROID. IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE THE LAST UPDATE FOR ANDROID AND THE RESPONSE I AM GETTING FROM THEM IS TO USE/buy AN ANCIENT TABLET OR A WIDOWS LAPTOP. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

My setup at home consists of a XONE:92 mixer, 2 CDJs, Turntables, Chromecast Audio running into the Venu360 and then to 3 separate power amps, one for bass frequencies, one for mid/high, and one for booth monitors. This can only be achieved with something like the Venu360 which has 3 inputs and 6 outputs (2 stereo input + 1 mono). I originally bought the venu360 for room correction. The auto EQ does a decent job but does require further fine-tuning once applied. Luckily there is a built-in RTA, a graphic EQ, and parametric EQ which you can run in addition to auto EQ. So there's an electronic crossover, 3 EQs all in one small package. There's also subharmonic synth, compressor, limiter (which I don't use since my setup is home hi-fi , not live sound) but nice those options are available. After doing the auto EQ, I then learned I could bi-amp my speakers with Venu360! Now I can control the bass on my NHT Classic 4 speakers desperately. This venu360 has big advantages over something like a MiniDSP because you need NO SOFTWARE REQUIRED TO CONTROL IT! We use computers enough in our day-to-day lives. I LOVE how I can customize my sound experience so effortlessly with the VENU360. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEDED for your home hi-fi setup despite this product being marketed towards live sound.

Love this product.Good quality.

What can't you do with this? This has really added value to our service at church. The quality and balance of the band has drastically improved and the clarity of the spoken word is a lot better than the basic equalizer we were using. It has a lot of features, most of which we aren't using, but I have been implementing some as I learn how they work. Be warned that this is a quite advanced piece of technology and isn't something most people off the street can just set up and use.

We used the VENU 360 to replace an old DriveRack480. And while it doesn't have the same in's and out's of the older unit, the 360 does have much fast processing, a better menu system, and a much improved GUI. The interface with mobile devices is worth it. And the cost difference between the two was a big deciding factor in the purchase.
