Features: - Ultra-compact 9.5" graphic equalizer for studio and stage applications. - Revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection system instantly reveals critical frequencies and can also be used as Audio Analyzer. - Additional Low-cut filter removes unwanted frequencies, e.g. floor rumble. - Accurate 6-segment LED input/output meters and Level control for precise level indication - High-quality illuminated faders, potentiometers and illuminated switches for long-term reliability. - Ultra-low noise audio operational amplifiers offer outstanding sound performance. - All Mini Series models can be stacked on top of each other to create an ultra-compact signal processor solution. How does it work? - Imagine the frequency range of the sound you hear as a highway, a very wide one with nine lanes. Each of these lanes represents a single octave of the sonic spectrum. The first four lanes, labeled 63 - 500 (Hz) contain the really low frequency sound content, mainly bass, bass vocals, and the kick and tom drums. The three lanes labeled 1k, 2k and 4k (Hz), make up the fundamental zone of most musical instruments and the male and female vocals. 8k and 16k cover the frequency range of cymbals, snare drums and higher pitched percussion instruments. The FBQ800 allows you to control the flow of audio traffic in each of these nine lanes. When properly applied, EQ makes it possible to hear all of these frequency ranges equally, thus the term equalization. Feedback Elimination: - When a specific frequency, or range of frequencies, reaches too high a level, feedback occursthat all-too-familiar squeal or howl you get when the mic is too close to the speaker. Basically, feedback happens when there is so much of a particular frequency that it is picked up by the mic and run through the system again. Thats why feedback typically gets louder and louder the longer its allowed to occur. Needless to say, this kind of feedback is very undesirable. This is where the FBQ800s Feedback Detection System really works its magic. In this ingenious circuitry, LEDs on the individual faders light up when that frequency band is approaching the danger zone. All you need do is lower the illuminated slider until the LED blinks outvoil, feedback problem solved! What once required a highly trained ear is now an activity that even a child can master. Sonic Toolkit: - That really is the best way to describe the FBQ800. With its nine frequency bands, you easily fine-tune your sound and instantly eliminate feedback. And each fader can be used to boost or cut the frequency range it controls by as much as 12dB (and thats a lot!). Special attention is paid to the low frequency zone. In addition to low frequency faders, the FBQ800 features a Low Cut filter for removing unwanted low frequencies such as floor rumble, room resonance, electrical hum, etc. This is especially handy if your system is being used for speech rather than music. Built for Accuracy and Reliability: - Speaking of headroom, FBQ800s 6-digit LED I/O meters and level control are provided for precise level maintenance. Long-term reliability is ensured, thanks to high-quality illuminated faders and switches, and our ultra low-noise audio operational amplifiers provide outstanding sonic performance. In addition, all Mini Series components can be stacked to create an ultra-compact signal processing solution. Package Included: - 1 x Equalizer
