Behringer SHARK DSP110 Manual - Page 3

SHARK DSP110 1. INTRODUCTION Thank you very much for expressing your confidence in BEHRINGER products by purchasing the SHARK DSP110. + This manual first describes the terminology used, so that you can fully understand the DSP110 and its functions. Please read the manual carefully and keep it for future reference. 1.1 The concept With the SHARK DSP110 you purchased a device that combines an automatic Feedback Destroyer using the ingenious search algorithms of our FEEDBACK DESTROYER PRO DSP1124P, a variable Delay Line (adjustable in msec, feet and meter), a ULN (Ultra-Low Noise) microphone pre-amp with Phantom Power, an automatic Noise Gate, a variable Low Cut filter and a Compressor—all in one ultrarugged and compact case. Still, the SHARK can be operated intuitively and expanded to a multi-channel system using another four SHARKs and an optionally available 19" rack mount kit. The SHARK’s 24-bit A/D and D/A converters guarantee a precise reproduction of your program material. High volume levels and the use of ever more sophisticated monitoring systems with a multitude of speaker cabinets have led to a greater potential risk of feedback loops in sound reinforcement systems. So far, audio engineers have been using conventional 1/3-octave equalizers to suppress unwanted feedback. However, the individual filters of such an EQ, with their relatively wide bandwidth, have quite an impact on the sound image. With the BEHRINGER SHARK (minimum bandwidth: 1/60 of an octave) you are now free to either choose the trial and error method to suppress feedback with graphic equalizers, or to assign this task to the DSP110, so that you can give your music your undivided attention. Using extremely narrow-bandwidth filters, the SHARK DSP110 eliminates only unwanted feedback, without affecting your music. 1. INTRODUCTION 3
