DESCRIPTION
The DFR22 Audio Processor with Feedback Reduction is a 2–input, 2–output digital audio processor. It is designed to equalize sound system
response, provide dynamics processing and alignment delay, and automatically detect and control acoustic feedback. A built-in 2 X 2 matrix
mixer allows either or both inputs to be routed to either or both outputs, with additional controls for levels and polarity.
The DFR22 is ideal for installed sound reinforcement applications, such as houses of worship, theaters, and meeting facilities. It is also a
powerful setup tool in live music applications. Using the DFR22’s drag–and–drop graphical user interface, processors can be placed any-
where in the signal path.
DFR22 Features
S Shure’s patented digital feedback reduction algorithm:
– Now includes stereo DFR processing capability
– New Auto Clear mode clears dynamic filters after a pre-
set change or power cycle. Dynamic filters can be auto-
matically removed after a specified number of hours.
S Configurable signal path with drag and drop Windows inter-
face. Includes graphic and parametric EQ, up to 10 seconds
of delay, compression, limiting, gating, automatic gain control,

NOTE: Processor speed and memory requirements vary, depend-
ing on the version of Windows and number of background applica-
tions you are running. Operating the DFR22 software simulta-
neously with programs such as SIA–Smaart  or Gold Line TEFt
requires a faster processor and more RAM. The chart below lists
the minimum requirements for running the DFR22 software with no
other applications––including virus protection, firewall, instant
messaging, or email––in the background.
Windows Version Processor Speed RAM
98, Second Edition Pentium 166 MHz 48 MB
NT Pentium 233 MHz 64MB
ME Pentium 300 MHz 64 MB
2000 Professional Pentium 300 MHz 96 MB
XP Professional, Home Pentium 300 MHz 128 MB
