Professional audio engineers have
known for decades that a good EQ
makes all the di erence in how a
performance is perceived. Although
multi-band graphic equalizers have
been around for a long time, they have
changed very little… until now! The
MINIFBQ FBQ800 takes the compact
graphic equalizer a giant leap forward
technologically, providing robust
feature sets and our proprietary FBQ
Feedback Detection System – at a price that makes them a must-have for
anyone who records or operates a live sound system.
How Does Equalization Work?
Imagine the audio frequency range as a very
wide highway with lots of “lanes”. Each of these
lanes represents a speci c frequency band.
• The lanes on the left side contain the
really low frequency content, mainly bass,
bass vocals, and the kick and tom drums
• The middle lanes make up the fundamental
zone of most musical instruments and the
male and female vocals
• The right-hand lanes have all the high-
frequency stu , such as snare drums,
cymbals, higher pitched percussion
instruments and the content that adds
sizzle to the mix
