Waves Audio has released the X-FDBK feedback eliminator plug-in for live performance applications.

One of the most important soundcheck processes is ‘ringing out’ the wedges and PA – pushing them to produce feedback, identifying the feedback frequencies and cutting them using a graphic equaliser. Doing this by ear is slow and imprecise, and not completely effective. Moreover, in order to avoid feedback, the monitors are often ‘tamed’ – as a result, the performers can’t hear themselves loudly enough.

Waves X-FDBK is the first plug-in to provide an automatic and fully effective feedback elimination solution. X-FDBK identifies the precise frequencies that cause feedback and cuts them, dramatically shortening the set-up time of monitors and PA speakers. This plug-in improves the ringing out process and shortens it to a matter of seconds. It identifies the feedback frequencies quickly and precisely and cuts them with a narrow notch, preserving the fidelity of the wedge or PA and enabling maxim gain without feedback.
