Live feedback processor?

#1 Post by nola50 »

I have a friend that wants one of these. His system is all analog with Alto powered cabs for mains and monitors.

I’ve never needed one so I don’t have experience in this gear.

Opinions, comments, and experiences welcomed.

I use the Feedback suppression in my Driveracks for the mains and monitors every time my system fires up. I have no idea how often it kicks in - if it does at all. We try to keep feedback at bay through proper positioning of mics and monitors. But, it's always there. I have it set to hold the suppression for a few seconds, then release....always using the LIVE mode.

Honestly, it must work occassionally, because we never have feedback....

Thank you for the reply.

Which DriveRack are you using?

Ha! All of the old ones. I have a PA, PA+, PX, and a spare PA+

PA+ is on the mains and the PA and PX are on the monitors for 4 channels of mono.

The feedback supression works the same on all of 'em. The PA2 just lets you do everthing with an iPad.
