The FBQ1000 Feedback Destroyer is
the fastest feedback suppressor on the
market, with a response time of less than

0.2 seconds. Whether you use it to kill
feedback dead in its tracks for your mains
and/or monitors, or as a sophisticated
parametric equalizer to ne-tune the
acoustics of your next gig, the FBQ1000
will bring a new level of nesse to your
sound. And if you use in-ear-monitors,
the FBQ1000 is a must-have to protect
your most valuable assets—your ears!

One Smart Solution

Using an ultra-fast feedback detection
algorithm, the FBQ1000 automatically
and “intelligently” locates up to
12 feedback frequencies per channel.
The algorithm then sets extremely narrow
notch lters (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, your Feedback Destroyer
can be up and running in a matter
of seconds.

Ease of Operation

The Auto Mode continuously
monitors the mix, resetting programmed
lters automatically to eliminate the
slightest hint of feedback, without you
having to do anything at all. It just doesn’t
get much easier than that! If you prefer a
more “hands-on” approach, the Manual
Mode allows you to program up to
24 fully parametric lters (with frequency,
bandwidth and gain controls) to optimize
your sound to the room’s acoustics.

Be Prepared

The FBQ1000 is the quick and
easy way to protect yourself and your
audience from live sound’s #1 enemy—
feedback! Plus it’s rack-mountable and
ultra-aordable. With the FBQ1000's
various modes, you can master virtually
any live sound situation or use the
unit as a creative sound-shaping tool.
A single FBQ1000 can protect you from
feedback in both your mono PA mains
and a monitor mix. Check one out at
your nearest BEHRINGER dealer today.
Your ears and your audience will
thank you.
