Frequently asked questions
Can the dbx 641 suppress feedback?
No. The 641 is a zone routing and processing hub, not a feedback suppressor. It manages signal distribution and level control across multiple outputs but does not include feedback elimination features.
Can the dbx AFS2 route audio across multiple zones?
No. The AFS2 is a dual-channel feedback suppressor with one stereo output pair or two mono outputs. It is designed to clean problem frequencies on individual channels, not to manage multi-zone routing or signal distribution.
Which is better for a small live-sound venue with a single mixing console?
The dbx AFS2 is the better fit for most small venues, since it addresses the most common live-sound problem—feedback from mics and monitors—with minimal setup. The 641 is better suited to venues with multiple distributed speaker zones or broadcast requirements.
Do both units have low latency?
Yes. The 641 has 0.6 millisecond propagation delay; the AFS2 is also specified for low latency. Both are suitable for real-time live sound and broadcast use where timing matters.
