Overview:

The AFS2 Dual-Channel Advanced Feedback Suppression Processor from DBX protects your ears and audio equipment from annoying and potentially damaging audio feedback without altering your sound. The AFS2 features application-specific filter types for speech, music low, music medium, and music high. The 24 fixed or live narrow-band notch filters are capable of removing frequencies at 1/80 of an octave, ensuring an optimal frequency response without the possibility of feedback.

The front panel features the wizard function to take the guesswork out of setting up any room by incorporating an advanced feedback suppression module and providing a full LCD display for system settings and menus. Additionally, the AFS2 offers a five-segment LED for accurately monitoring input levels for each channel, while the notch filter indicator allows you to monitor the number of filters applied. Dedicated bypass buttons are included to help isolate problem channels. The rear panel offers XLR and 1/4″ inputs and outputs, both switchable between 4 and -10 dB operations. A USB port has been provided for firmware updates. The AFS2 ships with a standard IEC power cable.

From DBX:

“The AFS2 Advanced Feedback Suppression processor has been completely re-designed to take the foundation of the best selling AFS224 and bring it to thte next level. The AFS2 now offers the highly-intuitive Wizard function that takes all of the guesswork out of setting up any room. The AFS2 also incorporates a completely re-designed Advanced Feeback Supression module. Best of all, the AFS2 now provides the user with a full LCD display setup and monitoring.

With its powerful DSP module, the AFS2 provides all the processing and control necessary for both installation and live use. Ten and twelve filter feedback elimination processors are the de facto standard, but the AFS2 offers a dedicated feedback suppression processor that offers up to 24 filters per channel with filter Qs up to 1/80 of an octave. To achieve these staggering numbers dbx utilized their improved AFS technology that had previously only been available in the upper echelon line of products and made it available in this stand-alone processor. In addition to the plethora of feedback suppression filters available, the AFS2 also offers selectable modes, live filter lift, and types of filtration, which are all readily available via the intuitive user interface front panel. With all of these state-of-the-art features in place, not only do you hear no evil, but you will now be able to see no evil. ®”
