User manual SABINE TRUE MOBILITY WIRELESS SYSTEM SWM3000

[. . . ] OPERATING GUIDE Version 4 Models: SWM3000 SWM1600 WARNING : DON'T WORRY! Every other wireless microphone manual has to warn users about the perils of feedback with wireless mics. Welcome to Sabine True Mobility Wireless Systems, where the only feedback we get is how good it sounds!

[. . . ] Sabine True Mobility Wireless Systems give you - Targeted processing for each microphone - Increased mobility - Quiet, fast and easy setup of FBX filters (Our Fastest FBX setup mode!) 20 Section Six : FBX Feedback Exterminator Constant Q vs Proportional Q Filters Constant Q Proportional Q It is common to describe a filter's quality factor, or "Q, " as the center frequency of the filter divided by the filter width (in Hertz) measured at the -3dB point. Filters that have the same Q, or width, at the -3dB point regardless of the filter's cut or boost are called Constant Q filters (see p. 14, Figure 6a). Filters that get wider as the filter gets deeper are called Proportional Q filters (see p. 14, Figure 6b). Lately, however, the definition of Constant Q is becoming less distinct. Many equalizer manufacturers claim their equalizers have Constant Q filters, when in fact they get substantially wider as they get deeper. The only way to know for sure if the filters are truly Constant Q is to inspect their frequency response curves. Sabine FBX Filters are true Constant Q filters. 6. 3 Who Needs The FBX? Virtually every sound system will be improved with the Sabine True MobilityTM Wireless System. Singers and speakers who do not have sound technicians can now increase their monitor or house system volume so they can hear themselves clearly and with full fidelity, without worrying if their microphone will suddenly squeal if they move to the wrong place. Auditoriums and churches of all sizes will enjoy reliable feedback control. Hotels and conference centers around the world can offer meeting rooms with microphones that won't howl during programs. The Sabine True MobilityTM Wireless System can be installed in theaters, schools, sports arenas, courtrooms, teleconferencing, intercoms or interactive remote classrooms--anywhere one or multiple microphones are used. 6. 4 FBX Setup & Ready Mode The FBX Section has two modes: Setup and Ready. In Setup, the FBX filters automatically zero in on the most predominant feedback. Because this is a wireless system, you need to move the microphone to several areas of use during setup--this will provide maximum gain before feedback before the performance begins. In Ready mode you are ready for the performance. Use the True Mobility as you would any wireless microphone system. The FBX section will work automatically to kill any additional feedback that happens to arise. 6. 4. 1 FBX Fixed & Dynamic filters Here's how it's done. FBX filters come in two flavors, fixed and dynamic. Fixed FBX filters: these filters will not change frequency or depth once they are placed during Setup and the receiver indicates Ready mode. These filters will eliminate the "first-to-feedback" frequencies encountered during normal system operation. Dynamic FBX filters: these filters automatically set just like Fixed filters, except they can change frequency and depth as the need arises. Dynamic Filters stand guard if frequencies not attenuated during Setup begin to feedback during performance.
