JBL DrivePack® Technology
Press Releases DP


 VERTEC : VRX  : VP

JBL DrivePack® units incorporate Crown Audio's BCA (Balanced Current Amplification) Class I circuitry, with temperature-compensated modulation. Crown's state-of-the-art feedback circuitry enables lower noise and distortion specifications than any other high-power switching amplifier on the market, allowing JBL DrivePacks to set a new standard for low-noise and distortion performance in digital amplification. Three-channel units offer a full rated output power of at least 6,000W Peak, 3,000W Continuous. This is accomplished with a highly efficient passive cooling system using optimal heat spreading for overall cooler operation...without noisy, expensive cooling fans. When driven at the high levels often required for professional sound reinforcement, JBL DrivePacks can provide even higher fidelity than traditional analog amplifier circuitry.

     
Input Module Options  

Each DrivePack® is equipped with a modular input bay that accepts several optional input modules. The DPIP input module features analog audio inputs and sophisticated onboard digital signal processing technology. The DPAN analog audio input module and the DPCN CobraNetT digital audio input module features network capabilities using HiQnet System ArchitectT software. Both the DPAN and DPCN input modules feature user accessible sophisticated onboard digital signal processing technology. Precision bandpass limiting, pre-equalization filters and automatic self-test functions ensure optimized performance. Network control and monitoring is enabled through a 100Mb Ethernet connection.


 
     
Sophisticated Control  

A variety of control and monitoring options are available at your fingertips, integrated
into Harman Pro’s HiQnet System Architect™ software. This provides complete software
control of not only your JBL DrivePack-equipped loudspeakers, but also other HiQnet-
compatible audio products in the system such as JBL’s VERTEC® DP Series, or traditional
VERTEC models powered with Crown I-Tech amplifiers. In these applications, VP
Series and VERTEC systems are fully compatible to suit project-specific system
design requirements.
 
     
HiQnet™  
Equipped with the most advanced network control capabilities of any loudspeaker system
available, all JBL DrivePack-equipped loudspeaker systems utilize Harman Professional’s HiQnet flexible and intelligent networking protocol, providing the system operator with a complete
configuration, control, and monitoring solution.
HiQnet protocol provides remote access to loudspeaker preset files in the JBL DrivePack
input modules, making system setup easy yet powerful, via an intuitive, user-friendly
graphical interface.
