Page 8: Application Diagram
Each VoiceLift system contains a feedback suppressor (FBS) that eliminates feedback caused by high microphone levels, room resonance, or proximity of the microphone to the speakers. If feedback occurs, up to 15 dynamic filters engage, automatically detecting and attenuating unwanted feedback frequencies up to 30 dB. -
