nal should consistently light the 0 dBu LED, with the +10 dBu LED occasionally lighting.

The AFS 224 offers several feedback suppression types, which are Speech, Music Low,

Music Medium and Music High. Each selected Type controls the width of the notch

filter used to remove the feedback. MUSIC HIGH uses very narrow notch filters minimiz-

ing the effect on the music, whereas the SPEECH type uses much wider notch filters allow-

ing the AFS 224 to work faster. The Type, LED color and Frequency Q are listed below

and a representative filter Q graph is shown on the next page.
