I never used, but there are some devices that can work as automatic feedback suppressors. They basically detect a feedback loop and add notch filter(s) to the frequency(ies) that are looping. Some high-end digital mixers have this feature embedded (but the operator may need to enable it). Yet, you may still hear the feedback loop while the algorithm is detecting and correcting the issue, as it takes 100 ms to 400ms to detect and filter a single feedback frequency. > I'm not sure how well phone mics and room speakers will work. I guess that this depends on how the environment is setup. A good digital mixer can be set with a gate threshold. If the volume is below the threshold, the mic will be muted. They can also be setup to have just one microphone group, where only one microphone will have the volume raised on a given time. So, if someone speaks on a mic, all the others are muted or attenuated. Yet, I guess this is not the usual "package" provided by hotels. Those setups may require extra devices and technical people that knows now to use such features. Thanks, Mauro
