  • 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.
  • Page 9: Before You Begin - Planning The Installation

    Before you begin the installation, consider the major factors discussed in the following sections to ensure that the installation of the VoiceLift System is as smooth and trouble free as possible and that the result meets the needs of the users. Placement of the receiver (sensor location) is very important for optimal performance of the VoiceLift System.
