What can i do to protect my B&C DE75-P compression drivers from this terrible scratch noise when my DBX260 wakes up and one of many not interested djs of the club has open the amps first? :(
I use 3way speaker system with different amps for low,mid,high.Someone told me to use a capacitor connected in line with the drivers.Is this right?

    Export your setups to a computer for re installation later.. do a hard reset, and then replace the setups by importing them back to the DR...then see if the noise is gone (thinking corrupt software). you can also default the driverack to turn on muted.. all outputs.

    BTW it takes a LOT to hurt one of those drivers...I have seen systems where the 75's were run as midranges for a couple days before it was discovered that the horn mamps were running the 12" drivers and vice versa...so they can take some abuse!

    If you are using DriveWare:
    Right click on the top of the DriveRack 260 window
    Click on Utilities
    Click on Misc
    Click on the "Power-up Mute" drop down menu
    Select "mute all"
