Special Tools for Low Frequencies
The low-frequency sound range requires special attention. That’s why the FBQ800 features a special
Low-Cut lter that helps remove non-essential bass content, such as oor rumble, room resonance
and electrical hum, etc., which really uses up your power amp’s headroom. This added control gives
the FBQ800 the power to clean up your system’s overall sound, creating crystal clear and dynamic
output – with incredibly tight and punchy bottom-end!
FBQ - Totally Feedback-Free
For more than 20 years, BEHRINGER has designed and manufactured some of the most successful
FBQ Feedback Elimination processors. Now you can own and enjoy the bene ts of this technology,
as we have integrated the revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection System into this product, so your
sound system is completely feedback-free, allowing you to focus on your performance. Utilizing
an ultra-fast feedback detection system, this ingenious circuitry helps you recognize and tame
feedback frequencies immediately. When feedback is sensed in a speci c frequency range, the LED
on the associated EQ fader illuminates, showing you at a glance which fader to lower to overcome
the feedback. That simple!
To Boost or to Cut, That is the Question
Raising and lowering speci c frequency bands can improve the frequency response of any room’s
acoustics. For instance, if the room you’re in is “bass-heavy,” lowering the 63 and 125 Hz faders can
help eliminate an overall “boomy” or “muddy” sound. Likewise, gently boosting the 8 and 16 kHz
sliders can add sparkle to a somewhat “dark” mix. Are the vocals getting lost in the mix? Raising the
level of the 1 kHz slider can help bring them out.
It’s important to note that raising a single fader level is not always the best solution; it’s often better
to lower the bands surrounding the frequency you want to bring out, and then boost the overall
volume level to achieve better headroom.
