8 ULTRACURVE PRO DEQ2496 User Manual
The rst page shows a graphic representation of the lters. It is structured and
operated in the same way as the rst page in the PEQ menu. Since this menu
can only be used to cut signals, the 0 dB line is located in the upper part of the
display. The dierences here are the settings ranges for the GAIN and BW(OCT)
parameters. In order to achieve extremely narrow-band lters with high
attenuation factors, the bandwidth ranges from 1/10 to 1/60 oct. and the GAIN
from 0 to -60 dB.
◊ At least one filter must be activated on page 2 to be able to access the
first page of the FBD menu.
Fig. 3.9: FBD menu (page 2)
Page 2 provides a table showing the ten memory locations available.
Ifparametric EQs have been activated in the PEQ menu, these will be shown here
too, because the memory locations are intended for both FBD and PEQ settings.
◊ Any parametric EQs activated in the PEQ module cannot be edited in
the Feedback Destroyer menu (FBD)—and vice versa.
In general, you can select two types of feedback lters: SNGL mode (single shot)
and AUTO mode. To be able to identify feedback frequencies, the Feedback
Destroyer splits up the entire frequency spectrum (20 Hz to 20 kHz) into bands of
1/60 octave and measures their respective levels. The resulting values are then
referenced to the level of the complete signal. The dierence between these
levels determines whether a lter is activated or not. As soon as a lter is set
to AUTO or SNGL mode, the unit automatically tracks feedback frequencies and
assigns the active lters to them.
AUTO mode
Microphones that are moved around during a performance (e.g. vocal mics)
oftensuer from varying feedback frequencies as a result of the changing
positions on stage. This kind of feedback is best suppressed in AUTO mode.
Alter in AUTO mode automatically identies the optimum parameter settings
for feedback suppression. If the feedback frequencies change, the AUTO lter
can track them and keep suppressing them. It always selects the respective
frequencies and a very narrow-band lter conguration to aect the wanted
signal as little as possible. When all lters are locked in to a specic frequency,
and a “new” feedback frequency occurs, then the lter with the “oldest” or
rst feedback frequency detected is released and used for the new one. Ifnew
feedback occurs very close to or even at an already identied frequency,
theparameters of the lter already in use will be adapted, for example by
widening its bandwidth or raising the amount of signal attenuation.
SNGL mode
Filters in SNGL mode (single shot) also searches feedbacks automatically.
Iffeedback is identied, the lter parameters are congured optimally for
feedback suppression. Contrary to lters in AUTO mode, lters in SNGL mode lock
in rmly to the identied frequency (LOCK FBD), however, their width and depth
are still being adapted to changes in the feedback frequencies. The bandwidth is
enlarged, if the feedback frequency shifts slightly, and the amount of attenuation
is raised if feedback persists. To prevent a feedback frequency from recurring,
the amount of attenuation is not reduced. Thus, SNGL mode is ideally suited to
suppress constant feedback frequencies, as they are typically produced by xed
or permanently installed microphones.
Use the LOCK FBD function (B key in the left bottom part of the display) to lock
the frequency of the SNGL lter manually (SNGL ). This means that the lter can
only be modied in its bandwidth and amount of attenuation. With UNLOCK FBD
(B key) it can be unlocked again.

The third page provides three additional dynamics parameters for all FBD lters.
SENS (upper data wheel) allows you to determine the point of onset for feedback
suppression (describes the dierence between feedback signal and overall
level). When a signal reaches this dierence, it gets reduced in level. The setting
range here is from -3.0 to -9.0 dB. Use THRESHOLD (large data wheel) to select
the threshold from which a certain frequency is considered to be feedback.
TheMAX.DEPTH parameter below determines the maximum attenuation of a
lter (-18 to -60 dB) in 6 dB steps, and thus the GAIN setting range as displayed
on the rst and second page (lower data wheel).
LEARN MODE is activated with the A key. This function generates additional
short pulses and raises the overall gain to provoke feedback. Subsequently,
the feedback signals arrive at the input of the DEQ2496, are identied and
suppressed. LEARN MODE is ideal for use before a live event, for example to
automatically congure the SNGL lters (“tuning-in” of a P.A. system).
The following symbols inform you about the current status of the lters:
In this setting, an AUTO or SNGL lter is “on duty” (RUN) to react to the
incoming signal and eect the necessary settings.
This symbol refers to an AUTO or SNGL lter (SNGL lter in LOCK mode),
which is currently suppressing an identied feedback frequency.
This symbol indicates that the AUTO and SNGL lters are in STOP mode.
Thesettings already made remain active. However, “new” feedback
frequencies are not eliminated.
This symbol refers to the lter assigned to the last feedback
frequencyidentied.
The selection and editing of parameters is largely the same as in the
PEQ menu, one exception being the B key: With a long key press you can
reset all lters (menu page 2) or just the AUTO lters (menu page 3).
3.3 WIDTH menu
The WIDTH function gives you a stereo imager for processing stereo signals and is
active in stereo LINK mode only.
A signal whose stereo basis has been enlarged sounds much more interesting,
because you can hear more pronounced dierences between the two stereo
sides. If used moderately, a stereo imager can clearly enhance the overall
impression of your music.
On both pages of the WIDTH menu, the parameters to be edited appear on
the right-hand side. On the left you’ll nd the RESET IMAGE-function (B key),
whichallows you to undo the previously made entries by means of a long key
press. In the center of the display, a diagram shows both the stereo width of
thesignal (triangle) and the mono signal (line).
