New Acoustic Feedback System

The acoustic feedback (AFB) system is to detect the acoustic signals radiated from a loudspeaker with a microphone, and feed them back to the previous stage of the amplifier. However, there were many problems to put it into practical use.

A new AFB system has been developed, where the above problems are solved by setting the microphone at the optimum position and adopting a new feedback method. This was achieved by reviewing the loudspeaker performance from a new point of view. Thus, a wide-range feedback and the improvement in the speaker response have been obtained. Also, the problems of oscillation have been solved.
