Feedback Suppressor
The Feedback Suppressor (subsequently referred to as FBS) is a function that prevents the unpleasant
acoustic feedback that occurs when sound from a speaker is picked up by a mic and re-amplified. In
addition to being unpleasant, acoustic feedback places a strain on the speakers, and can damage
them. To prevent such feedback, place the speakers so that their sound will not be picked up by the
mic and amplified. If acoustic feedback still occurs, you can use FBS to improve the feedback margin.
The MRX can provide two types of FBS: Notch FBS and Pitch Shift FBS.
Notch FBS uses a notch filter to lower the level of the feedback point.
Pitch Shift FBS slightly shifts the pitch of the frequency point that is feeding-back, thereby ending
the feedback loop.
Up to eight Notch FBS units can be placed in an MRX unit.

FIXED
After the speakers and mics have been installed, and while the MRX settings are being
made, this method proactively finds feedback points in the current sound system, and
applies the appropriate filters. This is effective for mics whose position is fixed.
