Frequently Asked Questions
The DSP likely incorporates EQ, compression, and potentially feedback suppression tailored for vocal frequencies, reducing muddiness and maximizing clarity.
While rated for 7A RMS at 100V for speech, expect reduced headroom and potential distortion with demanding music signals – it’s primarily speech-focused.
The AGC is designed to handle typical microphone or line-level signals, but excessively strong inputs may require attenuation to prevent clipping and maintain optimal gain.
