SHARK DSP110

2.1.4 The SHARK used in the monitor path
Inserting the DSP110 in the monitor path of your mixing console gives you utmost

protection against unwanted feedback. Monitor paths are particularly susceptible to

feedback, because on stage there are usually several microphones and speakers placed

close to each other. Especially vocal microphones pose some problems, because their

volume levels must be fairly high to be able to compete with other instruments, and

often these microphones are hand-held and hence carried around on stage. It is therefore

useful to protect the monitor path against feedback. In particular, when used in the

monitor path, the SHARK produces a positive side effect in that it improves both sound

and volume of the monitors. By filtering interference it makes the sound more transparent

and by eliminating unwanted feedback it allows for raising the volume of the monitors,

an effect that is usually welcomed by musicians on stage. Another advantage when

using this configuration: one SHARK can control several microphones. As at least four

monitor paths are used in a typical live application, all you need are four SHARKs to

give you optimum feedback protection.
