will continue, but the RED LED indicates that there is a | ||||||||||
problem with the performance mix that really should be | ||||||||||
addressed, by either identifying the problem microphone |
and reducing its individual channel fader or by reducing the overall level, bringing down the master faders.
Now very slowly push the master faders up on the mixer (the slower the action, the more accurate the detection and allocation of filters will be). If feedback occurs, each EVO Loudspeaker will eliminate it. As you continue to push the faders up more feedback may occur at other frequencies, and you will see that the FILTERS FREE indicators show more filters being used.
When all the filters have been used, the FIXED SETUP indicator will stop flashing. You can quit the FIXED AFC setup at any time by pressing any button as long as all of the available filters have not been used. The FIXED AFC SET indicator will illuminate and Fixed Anti Feedback Control has been set and is ready to go.
It is advisable to keep extraneous noises to a minimum during this procedure to prevent inappropriate allocation of filters.
Fixed Anti Feedback Control
Set up the performance system on stage for normal operation, for example, by placing all microphones in their typical positions and faders on the mixing desk set to that of a typical mix. Set the master faders initially in their minimum settings.
FIXED AFC setup can only be performed if LIVE AFC is off. If the LIVE AFC indicator on EVOi.net is on, press and hold the LIVE AFC button until the filter indicators and the LIVE AFC indicators are extinguished.
