Eliminate Feedback the Easy Way!
The Feedback Ferret D from Peavey is a special stereo processor that locates and suppresses frequencies that are feeding back in a sound system. When plugged in between the main outputs of a mixer and the power amplifier of a PA system, 16 digital filters analyze the audio for offending feedback frequencies. Custom algorithms help the Feedback Ferret D distinguish between music and feedback loops. When feedback is detected, the troublesome frequencies are instantly suppressed without interrupting the program material.
The Feedback Ferret D can be used time and time again without the need to adjust its parameters, making it a great "set-and-forget" problem solver for sound installations. It can operate in dual channel stereo mode, or in dual mono mode to fight feedback in two separate audio chains. A "defeat" switch on the rear panel locks the controls on the front panel. The Feedback Ferret D can also be set up to recall the last settings used, or revert back to preset 1 on power up. You can save 4 different presets.
