Registration allows you to receive information about software updates as they become available. The DFR22 comes with three factory-configured presets. Although a computer is required to configure the DFR22's equalizers, dynamics processors, delays, and crossover, you can use the DFR22 "out of the box" as an automatic feedback reducer, without connecting it to a computer. Preset 1: Provides two independent feedback reducers. The audio signal going to Input 1 is analyzed and filtered by a feedback reducer using up to 16 notch filters, and is then routed to Output 1.
Input 2 is analyzed by another feedback reducer and then routed to Output 2. Preset 2: Provides a stereo feedback reducer. Signal going into each input is analyzed independently, but the feedback reducer applies the same notch filters to each channel.
As with Preset 1, Row A of the DFR filters and controls on the front panel is assigned to the feedback reducer on Input 1; row B is assigned to the feedback reducer on Input 2. Because the feedback reducers always apply the same filters to both channels, the DFR filter indicators and controls are linked. By default, the DFR22 saves all feedback filters during a preset change or power cycle.
However, you can configure the device to automatically remove dynamic feedback filters and changes to the depth of fixed feedback filters, according to parameters that you specify. Each time the DFR22 detects a feedback frequency, it assigns that frequency to one of the filters. By default, the first eight frequencies are assigned to fixed filters, and the second eight are assigned to dynamic filters. Both types of filters can deepen if feedback reoccurs at the same frequency.
The frequency of a fixed filter will not change unless you manually clear all of the filters. However, if all filters are in use and an additional feedback frequency is detected, the DFR22 replaces the oldest existing dynamic filter with a new filter at a new frequency. Establishing the Auto Clear Function. To establish the Auto Clear function, proceed as follows:. The procedure for setting up the Auto Clear function using the front panel controls differs slightly from the procedure in the DFR22 Windows software.
Disengaging the Auto Clear Function. The Auto Clear LED will go out, and the number of fixed filters and dynamic filters will reset to eight of each type. Holding the clear button down while Auto Clear is engaged will only clear the dynamic filters.
Pressing these buttons locks the filters at their current values. If Auto Clear is not engaged, holding them down for three seconds resets all filters. If Auto Clear is engaged, holding them down only resets dynamic filters. Also, the Auto Clear timer is suspended.
It does NOT affect any other processors. The Preset Indicator on the front panel displays the number of the active preset. You can scroll through all presets stored in the device by pressing the arrow keys on the preset selector. When you select a preset number, the display blinks. If you press the LOAD button within five seconds, the device will make the selected preset the new Live preset.
If you do not press the LOAD button, the preset will not change and the display will return to the original Live preset. The preset indicator and controls are also used for setting the number of hours after which each dynamic filter is removed when engaging Auto Clear. When this DIP switch is in the "Unlock" position, all front panel controls are enabled.
When it is in the "Lock" position, all front panel controls are disabled. However, all front panel indicators still function and show the state of each parameter. Access to the DFR22 via a computer can only be disable by setting the appropriate security level through the DFR22 software.
When the level of a sound system is increased, the frequencies at which peaks occur will be the first to exceed the feedback threshold. The DFR22 attenuates these frequencies, flattening the response of the sound system.
The system can then operate at a higher overall level. When this algorithm detects feedback, it inserts a shallow, narrow filter into the audio path, reducing gain at the frequency that is feeding back. See Figure 3. This filter is called a notch filter, since it affects a narrow section of the audio spectrum.
If the feedback does not stop, the filter depth is increased. Low Q filters affect a slightly wider range of frequencies by maintaining a Q of By default, the DFR22 can insert up to 16 notch filters per channel to reduce feedback. The DFR22's feedback reduction algorithm can be used as a tool during system setup and for peace of mind against unexpected feedback. When setting up a sound system with the DFR22, you can ring out the system by slowly raising the gain while talking into the microphones until the first frequency begins to feed back.
The DFR22 will automatically insert a notch filter to attenuate that frequency. Once the system stops feeding back, you can further raise the level and repeat the process for additional frequencies. Typically, you can raise the gain dB above the level at which feedback first occurred.
You should leave some filters available to catch feedback that might occur later, when the sound system is in use. The DFR22 or any other feedback reduction processor will not let you to increase gain beyond the physical limits of the sound system.
In most cases, the point of diminishing returns is reached once 5 to 8 notch filters have been set. This is because there are usually only a few dominant peaks in a system's frequency response Figure 4A. In most cases, you can expect a 6 to 9 dB improvement in gain-before-feedback. When you are ringing out a system and notice that many frequencies feed back simultaneously, even when you increase the gain slowly, you have reached the point of diminishing returns.
Mount the DFR22 in any standard inch audio equipment rack, using the supplied screws. Refer to Figure 5. Avoid mounting wireless equipment and power amplifiers directly above or below the DFR Additional rack mount supports may be necessary for mobile installations. The Power LED on the front panel will glow green when power is applied. Audio will pass from the inputs to the outputs, even if it has not yet been configured through the computer interface.
Doing so could damage the equipment. Each DFR22 output has a 12 dB pad and an 18 dB pad that can be engaged through the software interface.
Use these pads when connecting the DFR22 to lower-level inputs. They cannot be used to prevent clipping at the output stage of the DFR The Output meters indicate the signal level present at the digital-to-analog converters. The 12 and 18 dB pads act upon the signal after the digital-to-analog converters, so the meters do not reflect the pads. Pin outs for a 9-pin RS cable are shown in Figure 10 and listed in Table 1. The last device in the chain MUST be connected to the first device the one connected directly to the computer to form a loop.
Refer to Table 2 for Device ID settings. The control pins on the back of the DFR22 connect to switches, potentiometers, and controller hardware. The Control Input pins can be used to change presets, adjust gain, and mute channels.
Use the DFR22 software to configure the control pins so that they match the attached control hardware. When allocating control pins, you should first determine which pins are to be used for preset control. Any remaining pins can then be used to adjust gain or to mute channels. The number of pins needed for preset control depends on the type of control hardware used, as well as the number of presets.
Various types of control hardware can be connected to the Control Input pins, as shown in Figure When properly configured, the DFR22 changes to the appropriate preset in response to the switch. Two-conductor, unshielded cable, such as a Belden , is recommended.
For mute control, use either a latching switch or a monetary switch. Figure 15 shows an example of how to connect either a latching switch or a monetary switch to the Control Input pins to mute an input or an output. For gain control, use either a potentiometer or two momentary switches one for gain up and one for gain down. If you want to have multiple sets of gain controls acting on the same inputs or outputs, use momentary switches connected in parallel. Figure 16 shows a typical connection between a potentiometer and the Control Input pins.
Figure 17 shows a typical connection between two momentary switches and the Control Input pins. In either case, you only need to connect three wires: send, receive, and ground. See page 8 for the pinout of the RS ports. Dynamic filters can be automatically removed after a specified number of hours. Configurable signal path with drag and drop Windows interface.
