Primarily designed for the sound contracting market, the DFR22 also includes modules for equalization, dynamics processing, delay and matrix mixing and is easily configured through a flexible, drag-and-drop Windows software interface. "The DFR22 will give current users of our DFR11EQ and P4800 the best of both products in a new form. It will function as an out-of-the-box, two-channel feedback reducer or as a fully configurable 2 x 2 device with a full complement of software-configurable audio processors," said Bob Rieder, Shure category director of audio processing products. "It also answers the many requests we’ve received for a stereo version of our patented feedback reduction algorithm."
The DFR22 features single-channel and stereo 5-, 10-, and 16-band DFR processing blocks. In addition, the DFR now offers an auto clear mode that removes changes to equalization made by the feedback reducer after a specified period of time. The DFR22 includes both XLR and Phoenix connectors and will appeal to the professional live sound market by functioning as a feedback reducer that does not require a computer for configuration.
