2.24. Feedback Suppressor: Pitch Shift FBS
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.
Pitch Shift FBS slightly shifts the pitch of the frequency point that is feeding-back, thereby ending
the feedback loop.
