FEATURES
Feedback Eliminator - AM-898's real-time feedback eliminator processor was designed 
to provide state-of-the-art feedback elimination processing, while maintaining a simple 
control interface. You just select one of the 3 room sizes and it will automatically filter out 
howling feedback noise from the speakers. This is a necessary function for any venue that 
is looking for a professional sound environment or any KJ who are looking to prolong your 
speakers' life.
 
Vocal Eliminator - AM-898 has a powerful vocal eliminator processor that can take out up 
to 90% of vocals from any regular audio CD. The AM-898's DSP utilizes one of the most 
powerful vocal elimination algorithm which removes more vocal with less impact on the 
background instruments. You can easily turn any regular CD into a karaoke track and begin 
your karaoke performance. 
 
Music Volume Auto Leveling - When you play audio tracks, some songs are louder than 
others even though the volume of your system remains the same. When you turn on the 
"Music Volume Auto Leveling" function, the AM-898 Amplifier will automatically adjust 
your music to one of the six preset volume level. If your music level is too low, the AM-898 
will boost the audio signal, and if the music is too loud, it will decrease the music volume 
back to your pre-set volume level. This function will eliminate lots unnecessary 
adjustment for KJs. 
 
Digital Effect Processor - The AM-898 has a powerful built-in Reverb and Echo Effects 
that can dramatically increase the quality of your performance. A "reverb" is created when 
a sound is produced in an enclosed space causing a large number of echoes to build up and 
then slowly decay. Reverb is most noticeable when the sound source stops but the 
reflections continue, decreasing in amplitude, until they can no longer be heard. The AM-
898 enables you to adjust the reverb time, reverb level, echo repeat and echo delay to 
optimize your sound effects. 
 
3-Band Music and 5-Band Microphone Equalizer (EQ) - The AM-898 has two 
independent band equalizers for music and microphone volume. Using a powerful EQ, it 
can compensate for your music or singer's shortcomings or when you would like to add 
more treble or bass to your performance. For music, the 5 band frequencies are at 100Hz, 
330Hz, 1000Hz, 3.3 kHz and 10 kHz. For the microphone, the frequency bands are at 
100Hz, 300Hz, 900Hz, 2.7 kHz and 8kHz. You can fine tune each frequency to your desired 
level. 
 
Microphone Noise Gate - This powerful auto-mute function enables your mixer to 
automatically turn off the microphone when it is not in-use. The powerful noise gate 
function allows a microphone signal to pass through only when it is above the preset 
threshold value from 1 to 40. The mixer utilizes an advanced fading technique to cut in and 
out of sound so you will not hear your microphone abruptly cut off once it has fallen below 
the threshold or hear a loud click when the noise gate re-opens from mute. 
 
5 Microphone Inputs - The am-898 includes 3 microphone inputs in the front and 2 
inputs from the rear. The rear inputs also enable you to connect to most wireless 
microphone units while reducing the messy cables going from the front. 
 
S/PDIF Digital Input - AM-898 has a coaxial input to carry digital audio signals from 
your player to the mixer. Using the S/PDIF connector, you can send the purest audio signal 
to the mixer without any RF interference noise.
