SHARK DSP110
2.1.4 The SHARK used in the monitor path
Inserting the DSP110 in the monitor path of your mixing console gives you utmost
protection against unwanted feedback. Monitor paths are particularly susceptible to
feedback, because on stage there are usually several microphones and speakers placed
close to each other. Especially vocal microphones pose some problems, because their
volume levels must be fairly high to be able to “compete” with other instruments, and
often these microphones are hand-held and hence carried around on stage. It is therefore
useful to protect the monitor path against feedback. In particular, when used in the
monitor path, the SHARK produces a positive side effect in that it improves both sound
and volume of the monitors. By filtering interference it makes the sound more transparent
and by eliminating unwanted feedback it allows for raising the volume of the monitors,
an effect that is usually welcomed by musicians on stage. Another advantage when
using this configuration: one SHARK can control several microphones. As at least four
monitor paths are used in a typical live application, all you need are four SHARKs to
give you optimum feedback protection.
