Upon completion of the Auto EQ Wizard, you can return to program mode by releasing the <RTA Input> button and pressing the <PROGRAM> button.

•The 260 DriveRack also offers its exclusive AFS (Advanced Feedback Suppression) module which is located within the INSERT module section of select or user-created configurations.

The fixed filter mode is designed to place notch filters as you introduce feedback by opening up your mics and slowly increasing the gain. Because the fixed mode is sensitive, it is important not to present an external music source such as CD player or other audio signal into the system. From the Wizard menu, rotate the <DATA> wheel until the display appears as follows:
