A few years ago our church had a sound system installed by a guy who did a haphazard job. 

 

We are a very simple church, and won't be doing anything through the speakers other than preaching and praying. In our sanctuary currently we have a RCF VSA 850 with some reportedly clever ways of sending out sound to the entire sanctuary. The folks who installed it had us put it behind the preacher, so obviously we cannot turn up the volume much without feedback. In the rack, we have a RFS2 advanced feedback suppressor, and also less importantly an audio technica 10pro, a digitech I/O where the passive speakers are now for other areas of the church (we have speakers in the overflow rooms), and a TIC AVP100.

 

Here's the rub. The RFS2, at first glance, seems like the perfect thing to fix this. They even have a setup wizard in the instructions, weee. This should be easy. Print the manual, go to church at 5am, whoops.

 

It doesn't look anything like this: https://dbxpro.com/en/products/afs2

 

Maybe it's the older model? It also doesn't look anything like this https://dbxpro.com/en/products/afs224

 

No knobs, no buttons. A bunch of things without labels plugged in, apparently it's connected via wifi... to... something? I can't find out what.

 

Anyone have a suggestion?

This is relevant to my interests.  Looking to upgrade our sound system at church, actually.

Interesting; yeah, it looks like you have a Soundcraft Ui16 mixer that has AFS2 feedback supression as a feature of it. So the whole big unit is the Ui16, not just the box in the center. Like so:

Oh boy that sure does!

 

I see it on Soundcraft's website, and they have video tutorials. I'll watch them and report back.

 

Thanks!!
