DESCRIPTION

The DFR22 Audio Processor with Feedback Reduction is a 2–input, 2–output digital audio processor. It is designed to equalize sound system response, provide dynamics processing and alignment delay, and automatically detect and control acoustic feedback. A built-in 2 X 2 matrix mixer allows either or both inputs to be routed to either or both outputs, with additional controls for levels and polarity.

The DFR22 is ideal for installed sound reinforcement applications, such as houses of worship, theaters, and meeting facilities. It is also a powerful setup tool in live music applications. Using the DFR22’s drag–and–drop graphical user interface, processors can be placed any- where in the signal path.
