The XAP 800 features the power of eight processing blocks, which are
dedicated signal processing resources that can be applied to any mic
or line input routed to it. Within each processing block, compression,
delay, gain adjustments, and up to 15 different filters may be applied to
any mic and/or line input routed to the block. Each input also has up to
four assignable filters for shaping the input’s audio response.
For example, say you have a conferencing scenario in which mics
connected to input 1 and 4 are having feedback problems. The
problem frequencies could be attenuated in each mic input, or both
mics could be assigned to processing block A, where problem
frequencies are attenuated. In the future, other microphones can also
be routed to the same processing block and will therefore receive the
same feedback cancellation—without any additional adjustments.
Microphones not routed to processing block A would be unaffected by
these filters.
Feedback
Perhaps the most common (and most annoying) problem for
professional sound engineers is feedback. Feedback is often a high,
piercing tone caused when mics pick up a particularly resonant
frequency and amplify it through the sound system, where it is picked
up again by the microphones—this time louder—and the process is
repeated.
