creating feedback. FIXED mode is used before the performance without any input signal. In LIVE mode, the live filters automatically detect and remove feedback during the performance. When all of the live filters have been used, they begin to round robin. Essentially this means that the first filter set is replaced where a new feedback is detected and notched out. This mode is useful because feedback frequencies may change as the microphone is moved, and/or as the characteristics of the venue change. Note that only the fixed filter settings will be stored with the new program. Live filters clear whenever the unit power cycled, the user loads a different program, or the user clears the filters using the ‘Clear all Filters’ function.

Type - Speech, Low Music, Medium Music and High Music

If Fixed or Live mode is chosen, the text will read “Type.” The options will be Speech, Music Low, Music Medium and Music High. These types pertain to the Q, sensitivity, and algorithm type. Values are; Speech (Bandwidth = 1/5 octave and Q=7.25) Music Low (Bandwidth = 1/10 octave and Q=14.5) Music Medium (Bandwidth = 1/20 octave and Q=29) Music High (Bandwidth = 1/80 octave and Q=116). Note: To guarantee that feedback is suppressed at lower frequencies, the AFS may place wider notch filters at these lower frequencies (below 700 Hz).

Number Fixed - 0-12

This will range from values 0-12. The total number of filters is the total number of filters available, and the number of live filters will be = Total Num Filters – Num Fixed. If this is changed before the filters are reset, then the filters will be reset one by one as the number changes. For example, if the number of Fixed filters goes down, then the last fixed filter set will be reset. Likewise, if the number of Fixed filters goes up (and thus the number of live filters goes down), then the last live filter set will be reset. The Fixed/Live filter usage will be indicated at the bottom of each page of the feedback elimination effect. ‘F’ indicates an available fixed filter, and ‘L’ indicates an available live filter. A blocked out F or L indicates a filter that is set, or in use.

Live Filter Lift (On/Off)

This parameter turns the Live Filter Lift on and off.

Lift After - 5 sec to 60 min

This parameter allows the user to setup the box so that the Live filters will automatically be removed after a set time (as indicated by the “Lift After” parameter). It ranges from 5 seconds to 60 minutes. This feature is useful if the microphone being used is moved or the characteristics of the venue change over time. As example; a filter placed minutes ago will not be presently preventing feedback. This feature removes unnecessary filters from the spectrum to increase sonic quality. If the feedback is still there (after the filter is removed), it will catch it and notch it out the same.

Total Number of Filters 1-12

This parameter selects the number of filters being used
