DBX GO RACK..I just purchased this unit..But I am not sure if I can really use it..I have a powered mixer Samson TMX-20...I thought or think I could set up the whole system Live Band..And then use this for the fine tuning...So I guess the question is....Would I connect it to the main out lines on the board and then connect it to a line in or return? Or just send it back......Thanks... I am old school....For real--62 yrs old..
You would need to get yourself a set of insert cables and use the "main insert" jacks. Prob some 1/4" to xlr adapters. That should take care of both the send and receive.
I'm using the goracks successfully at the day job doing hotel AV. We use them to tame house sound systems in rooms with low ceilings. Do they sound great? Not really. Tend to introduce noise into the signal chain. The fidelity penalty is negligible through a pseudo crappy 70v system. For our purposes, having an antifeedback device at that price point that takes very little training for someone without an audio background to use makes it very practical. That being said, my supervisor has yet to successfully deploy one. Another coworker deploys one for every event because the space he works in has 10' ceilings - on a 12" stage, they are always dancing the threshold of feedback with even a single lav. Works well for him.
I could see it being useful for wedding djs that have no idea how to keep their microphones from feeding back, or could maybe use the blanket general eq curves. I've used the compressor a few times and it worked out ok with screamers.
If you are having feedback problems, give it a try. The EQ only does broad generic curves, so I don't think it would be as useful to you as a decent graphic eq (or a drive rack PA2). Other tools do a much better job.
