THE BEST FEEDBACK
CONTROLLER
Before the invention of the FBX, the most common
device for controlling feedback was the 31-band
graphic EQ. However, the FBX has three distinct
advantages. The most obvious is the FBX functions
automatically, even during the program. Another is
the FBX micro-filters are precisely placed while EQ
filters are fixed; FBX filters can be placed between
predetermined graphic filters. The difference: FBX
filters do not have to be as deep, so there is more
system gain. The final and most important advan-
tage is that FBX micro-filters are ten times narrower
than 31-band EQ filters. FBX micro-filters return up
to 90 percent of the power removed by EQ filters.
Over the years, engineers stopped using 12-band
EQs in favor of the narrower-filter 31-band EQ for
controlling feedback. The FBX represents the next
step. An EQ would need more than 10,000 sliders
to be equivalent to your FBX. With the SOLO, your
monitors will finally sound loud enough, everyone in
the audience will understand each word, and the
mains will sound natural and transparent.
WHO NEEDS THE FBX?
Virtually every sound system will be improved with
the FBX. Small bands that do not have sound
technicians can now increase their monitor volumes
so they can hear themselves clearly and with full
fidelity, without worrying if the program is going to be
ruined by feedback.
Auditoriums and churches of all sizes will enjoy
reliable feedback control. Hotels and conference
centers around the world can offer meeting rooms
with sound systems that won’t howl during pro-
grams. The SOLO can be installed in theaters,
schools, sports arenas, courtrooms — anywhere
multiple microphones are used. It can also be used
for teleconferencing, intercoms or interactive re-
mote classrooms.
WHY THE FBX?
The simple beauty of the FBX is its ability to quickly
and effectively eliminate feedback with narrower
filters than ever before possible. The FBX delivers
superior sound quality automatically.
