Behringer FBQ2496 - Feedback Destroyer Pro

Protect yourself and your audience from the horrors of feedback with the rackmount Behringer FBQ2496 Feedback Destroyer PRO, an extremely fast-acting feedback suppressor (less than 0.2 seconds) that offers 24-bit / 96 kHz A/D D/A converters to ensure outstanding audio quality.

One Smart Solution

Using an ultrafast feedback detection algorithm, the FBQ2496 automatically and intelligently locates up to 20 feedback frequencies per channel. The algorithm then sets extremely narrow notch filters (up to 1/60th of an octave) to "destroy" feedback frequencies, leaving the remainder of your signal virtually untouched. And with the "Set-and-Forget" default setting, plus the Panic button, your Feedback Destroyer can be up and running in a matter of seconds.

Ease of Operation

FBQ2496's Auto mode continuously monitors the mix, resetting programmed filters automatically, while the Manual Mode allows individual programming of up to 40 fully parametric filters with frequency, bandwidth, and gain adjustment. Open MIDI architecture makes future firmware updates and flexible communication with digital equipment exceedingly simple.

Be Prepared

With the FBQ2496's various modes, you can master just about any live sound situation or use the unit as a creative sound-shaping tool. A single FBQ2496 can protect you from feedback in both your mono PA mains and a monitor mix.
