DF-1

Real-time feedback detection tuned for live situations Up to 8 precise notch filters for targeted suppression Adjustable Threshold.

When a feedback frequency is confirmed, DF-1 activates the nearest available notch slot. Each slot is a narrow biquad notch / EQ dip, allowing targeted attenuation with minimal collateral tonal loss. Up to 8 notch slots can be used in parallel, with user-adjustable notch depth.

Kill Feedback Before It Kills The Show

De-Feed DF-1 is a professional feedback suppressor built for the pressure of real stages. It listens in real time, finds ringing frequencies quickly, and applies narrow suppression so your mix stays loud, clear, and in control.

Engineered for Live Pressure

Live rooms are unstable by nature: microphones move, wedges shift, players change position, and gain rides happen in real time. DF-1 is built to react like an engineer who never blinks, without flattening your mix or gutting your tone.

Fast Suppression, Minimal Damage

DF-1 targets narrow problem zones instead of broad cuts, so vocals and instruments keep their character.

Built for Real Sessions

Designed to be practical and low-overhead in DAWs and live rigs where reliability matters more than hype.

Control You Can Trust

Set it and run, or dial deeply by hand. DF-1 supports both fast workflows and engineer-level precision.

Fast Control. Real Results.

DF-1 gives you controls that matter in high-stakes moments. No bloat, no guesswork. Just direct parameters that shape detection behavior and suppression feel.

Core Controls

  • Threshold - Set detection sensitivity
  • Notch Depth - Set suppression strength per notch
  • Speed - Control engagement timing
  • Release - Shape recovery behavior
  • Bypass - Hard bypass when needed

What You Get

  • Up to 8 notch slots for focused correction
  • Automatic response to detected ringing
  • Adaptive tracking for drifting frequencies
  • Output limiter for safer stage output
  • Mono-safe processing for live and studio use
  • Mono-to-Stereo-safe processing for live and studio use
  • Stereo-safe processing for live and studio use

Verified Hardware Support

De-Feed DF-1 is verified for deployment on dedicated live processing hardware, so you can run the same feedback protection workflow on stage with confidence.

Waves SUPER RACK LIVEBOX

Verified operation for professional live rack workflows and show-critical feedback suppression.

FOURRUER AUDIO TRANSFORM.ENGINE

Verified integration for modern plugin-hosted stage systems requiring fast, predictable suppression behavior.

Ready for Touring Rigs

Use the same DF-1 sound and control approach from DAW prep sessions to hardware-backed live playback.

Precision DSP, Not Guesswork

Under the hood, DF-1 combines a lightweight detector, an 8-slot notch bank, and a safety output stage. In plain terms: it hears the problem, identifies the frequency, and removes just enough to keep the show alive.

Three Modes. One Mission.

Whether you want automated defense or full manual authority, DF-1 gives you a mode that matches your workflow.

Auto

DF-1 listens, detects, and engages notches automatically. Great for fast setup and immediate protection.

Manual

You activate and tune notches directly. Ideal for detailed scenes and repeatable engineering decisions.

Adaptive

Notches can track slow frequency drift so suppression stays locked even when stage conditions move.

For Engineers Who Want More Gain, Not More Risk

DF-1 is made for FOH engineers, monitor engineers, performers, and creators who cannot afford feedback chaos. If your work happens in real time, DF-1 is built for your reality.

FOH Engineers

Push vocal clarity and stage level with more confidence, fewer emergency fader drops.

Monitor Engineers

Fight spill and hotspots while preserving performer comfort and intelligibility.

Artists and Creators

Run rehearsals, streams, and hybrid rigs with cleaner output and fewer sudden surprises.

Make Feedback Someone Else's Problem

You have a room to manage and a performance to protect. Let DF-1 handle the ringing before the audience hears it. More confidence. More usable gain. Fewer disasters.
