Thank you for purchasing the Feedback Ferret
on the market. The Ferret applies 16 digital dynamic filters at a resolution of 24-bits‚ automatically controlling
feedback without sacrificing volume or tone. The Ferret‚ armed with sophisticated algorithms‚ distinguishes between
music and feedback‚ seeking and destroying the feedback‚ leaving your music alone. Although there is no substitute
for a good soundman‚ the Ferret can greatly improve your sound application.
Please read this guide carefully to ensure your personal safety as well as the safety of your equipment.
Features
sophisticated seek & destroy algorithms find‚ lock and reduce offending frequencies
24-bit resolution provides the greatest dynamic range and best signal-to-noise ratio
16 digital dynamically controlled notch filters configured for 1/12 octave performance give the Ferret more feedback
control than any other unit on the market
4 preset locations allow you to store settings for your most common performance venues
front panel disable button (located on rear panel) allows you to quickly disable the front panel once your settings are
made
wide/narrow button enables you to change the width of filters (more on this later)
reset button allows you to reset some or all of the filters
Q Q U U I I C C K K S S E E T T U U P P
1.
Turn off power to all units.
2.
Connect the Ferret between your mixer and power amp. (Make sure your speakers are connected.) Connect the
main output or monitor output (depending on your application) on your mixer to the input on the Ferret. Connect
one of the Ferret's outputs to the input on your power amp. Connect all microphones you plan on using.
3.
Power up all units with the master volume completely down. (Remember: You should turn your power amp on
last and off first.) Make sure the Ferret is NOT set to Normal Mode (LED off ). (Remember: you want a fairly quiet
room with no signal going through the system and the microphone levels up.)
4.
Slowly bring up the master volume. As feedback occurs‚ the Ferret starts to work beginning with filter 16. As the
filters are needed‚ the associated LEDs will blink letting you know that a feedback frequency has been found and
the filter defined. Expect some LEDs to light solid as filters lock down on a problem!
5.
Once the feedback is eliminated and filters are set‚ depress the Normal button on the front panel of the Ferret and
return the mixer gain to a normal level. That's it! Your Ferret is working for you!
