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. 14 2. APPLICATIONS
