    Shipping claims must be made by the consignee. The BEHRINGER FEEDBACK DESTROYER PRO requires one standard 19" unit of rack space. Please allow at least an additional 4" depth for the connectors on the back panel.

  • Page 7: Background: How Is Feedback Produced

    As a standard, the BEHRINGER FEEDBACK DESTROYER PRO is equipped with electronically servo-balanced inputs and outputs. The circuit design features automatic hum and noise reduction for balanced signals and thus allows for trouble-free operation, even at high operating levels.

    Before you go on, please note the following two remarks: The FEEDBACK DESTROYER PRO is not intended to be connected directly to the microphones! If this is unavoidable, then we recommend our proven BEHRINGER SHARK DSP110 instead, which is equipped with a dedicated microphone preamplifier.

    But don’t let us do the second step before the first: 4. CONTROL ELEMENTS The BEHRINGER FEEDBACK DESTROYER PRO is equipped with ten parameter keys, one JOG WHEEL (rotary control) and a numeric LED DISPLAY. By means of an 8-segment LED meter, each of the two fully independent channels can be monitored.

Cyclically flashing LEDs signal that a filter is searching feedback frequencies in Single-Shot or Auto mode (see chapters 5 and 6.3).

DSP1124P ARCHITECTURE: PRESETS, FILTERS, OPERATING MODES In order to avoid confusion, let us give you a concise description of the DSP1124P’s operating principle, so as to make the three relevant points clear right from the start. Example: You have set up your P.A. system and connected all signal sources to the console.

    FEEDBACK DESTROYER PRO DSP1124P 6. OPERATING MODES OF THE DSP1124P The individual filters on the BEHRINGER FEEDBACK DESTROYER PRO can operate in four different modes (see ). An additional mode called “Locked” mode will be described specifically. Basically, each of the 2 x 12 filters on the DSP1124P can be set to any of the four operating modes.

  • Page 15: Locked Mode (“Lo”)

    Downloaded from www.g7syw.com FEEDBACK DESTROYER PRO DSP1124P 6.4 Locked mode (“LO”) When the DSP1124P detects a feedback frequency in Single-Shot mode (see chapter 6.3), it automatically enters Locked mode, i.e. the filter locks to the trouble frequency and “keeps an eye” on it. To unlock such a filter, you need to switch it back to Single-Shot mode (see and chapter 7.2).

    Downloaded from www.g7syw.com FEEDBACK DESTROYER PRO DSP1124P To avoid inadvertent changing of filter modes, the filter mode selection takes place after about one second, which is indicated by a dot in the lower right corner of the DISPLAY. Press the FILTER MODE and GAIN keys at the same time, and use the JOG WHEEL to adjust the feedback threshold (= feedback sensitivity) within a range from -3 to -9 dB.

    Downloaded from www.g7syw.com FEEDBACK DESTROYER PRO DSP1124P 8. PROBLEMS DO HAVE A CAUSE ... Feedback is one of the major problems encountered in live P.A. applications. In a worst-case scenario every microphone signal passing an amplifier can cause feedback. Still, there’s a lot you can do even before the show begins: s Place the microphones at some distance to the FOH and monitor speakers.
