WORKING WITH THE i7100
Once the i7100 is switched on, and you have an audio feed,
you're ready to silence the feedback. Doing this has been made
relatively trouble-free by the wide range of features incorporated
into the product
Selecting a Channel
To choose a single channel to alter, simply press one of the CH
buttons located at the right side of the front panel. When pressed,
the LED in the button will illuminate. Pressing both of the CH
buttons simultaneously will enable you to edit the audio of both
channels at the same time (stereo mode). If you hold CH 1 down
and then press CH 2, this will cause any isolation that is made on
channel 2 to be replaced with the audio of the same frequency
on channel 1. This works in reverse if CH 2 is held and CH 1 is
then pushed.
Selecting a Filter
To select a filter to edit, first use the function jog wheel to illuminate
the filter indicator LED. Pressing the function jog wheel down after
the filter indicator is illuminated will cause the indicator to flash.
While the indicator flashes, you are then able to again use the
function jog wheel to select the filter you wish to alter, the number
of which will be displayed on the LCD screen.
Selecting a Killmode
First select the killmode option by using the function jog wheel as
previously described. As the killmode indicator flashes, the LCD
display will show the current status of the selected filter. You can
then use the function jog wheel to select what killmode you would
like to use. Each filter can be independently elected to operate
in one of four modes: off(OFF), Single-Shot (SI), Auto (AU), and
Parametric (PA).
Off - This mode deactivates any killmode in the selected filter.
Single Shot- In single-Shot mode, each filter is automatically
assigned and locked to a feedback frequency until it is manually
reset. This mode is best for equalizing systems with stationary
microphones where feedback generally occurs only at certain
fixed frequencies.

Auto - In Auto Mode, the filters are dynamically assigned and
reassigned to match with varying feedback frequencies. This mode
is ideal for systems with microphone movements where feedback
frequencies tend to vary throughout a program.
Parametric - In Parametric mode, the filters can be manually set
to function as fully Parametric EQs, then , by using the FQ/Mode
jog wheel, gives you the capability of fine adjustments over center
frequencies, bandwidth, and gain. This mode is suitable for
obtaining the best possible control over feedback elimination in an
environment with definable fixed feedback frequencies.
Threshold
By using the function jog wheel to select threshold, you can edit
the threshold of feedback suppression at a range of +10 to -50
dB. Using the threshold option will greatly maximize sound quality,
while minimizing the amount of needless sound suppression. The
i7100 precisionprone threshold provides a larger range than most
of its competitors.
Recalling and Saving Presets
By using the function jog wheel to select Preset, you are then able
to select from twenty factory presets as well as select from twenty
of your own personally stored presets. To store your own settings,
first set each Filter to your needs. Once you have completed your
settings, press the Store Key, which will cause the LCD screen
to show U 1 (User Preset slot 1). You can then use the function
jog wheel to choose from U 1 TO U 20 an click the function jog
wheel to save in the chosen slot. Then you are able to change your
settings and recall the saved settings at any time. The convenience
of having your settings saved in the device frees you from having
to spend time adjusting filters each time you use it.
Auto Saving Settings
If the controls of the i7100 are not used for a ten second period,
the system will automatically save your current settings, which
will be stored even aftr the device is turned off, ensuring you lose
none of your settings in the cause of power outages.
Locking the i7100
By pressing both the function and the FQ//mode jog wheels
simultaneously you enable a key lock that will stop any settings
from being accidentally altered while the device is in use. To
remove this lock, once again press the function and FQ/mode
jog wheels.
