Loud and Clear

A portable sound system with feedback suppression

Published in issue 398, February 2010

Loud and Clear
With personal PA systems there’s a fairly good chance of feedback howl. This occurs when the headset microphone picks up the sound from the loudspeaker, amplifies it, and emits it again via the loudspeaker, which produces an irritating howling tone. For this reason, we incorporated a previously published anti-feedback mechanism in our design: a frequency shifter.

- Maximum output power 10W/8 Ohm (with 14 V supply)
- Feedback suppression by frequency shifting
- Suitable for electret and dynamic microphones
- Low current consumption
- Can also be used without the frequency shifter as a portable active speaker
