TECH-TIPS<br />
What is the difference between feedback suppressors?<br />
All feedback suppressors are not the same. A feedback suppressor notches out the offending frequency by cutting the level of that frequency. But how<br />
many non offending frequencies around the offending frequency are affected by that filter?<br />
This graph shows the difference in filter quality between Behringer, Sabine and the superior dbx filter. As you can see the dbx is much narrower. It removes<br />
far fewer of the surrounding frequencies than either of the competi<strong>to</strong>rs. This equates <strong>to</strong> a far smaller hole in the frequency response when feedback is<br />
being addressed by the processor.<br />
