DriveRack™ User Manual
The Configuring section of the 240 and 241 DriveRack™ units will be your key to successful
navigation of the configuration functions of the DriveRack™. The following information pro-
vides, descriptions about program functions and in depth configuration options of the 240 and
241 DriveRack™ units.
The first step in understanding the thorough programming capabilities of the DriveRack™ is to
understand the elements involved that combined, define a complete “program.” Within an indi-
vidual program, there are several levels of editing that make up the complete program. When
initially entering a program, you will be at the “program” mode level. This level supplies the
user with current program information such as: current signal path, effect usage, and program
name. From this point, the 240 or 241 DriveRack™ units give you the option of entering sub-
sequent levels of operation that are dedicated to program editing. These levels include
Configuration mode and Effect Edit mode. The key element to remember is that all of these
components combined, make up the conventional “program”, and that they are all unique to
each individual program. The Utility menu mode is accessed via the utility menu, and is not
part of a single program.
From the factory, the 240 and 241 DriveRack™ units are shipped with 20 factory programs that
utilize carefully constructed routing configurations that have been designed to accommodate
virtually any sound reinforcement and installation application. The factory programs offer a
clear an concise explanatory title to help you up and running in a timely manner. These pro-
grams can also be used as templates or starting points for the user to create custom programs.
Selecting Programs:
The quickest mode for getting up and running with the DriveRack™ is to simply use any one
of the factory programs that are available in the box. To select a factory program, (from pro-
gram mode), use the
Data Wheel
to scroll through the various factory programs. This is an
ideal method of selection, as each factory program is selected, the display will clearly indicate
the title that is directly related to a specific application. Once a program is selected, press the
PROGRAM/CONFIG
button to load the program. The display will appear something like this:
