You can put your FBX in unbalanced mode, giving the box a boost of 6 dB at the outputs. To change between balanced and unbalanced mode, hold down the SETUP and RESET DYNAMICS buttons at the same time. If the system still sounds thin, your problem is probably improper use of a graphic EQ. If the problem is really the FBX, re-initialize the system and make sure the READY button LED is on steadily. Setup mode turns off automatically after the first dynamic filter is set, or you can turn it off manually by pressing the READY button. Yes; connect the output of one FBX channel to the input of the other channel. Place the FBX between the output of the mixer and the input of a power amp, and set up the channels sequentially. When combining channel A with channel B on an FBX2400, bypass channel B while setting up channel A, then lock channel A's fixed filters (all channel A's filters should be fixed) by pressing channel A's READY button on the front panel after setup. Why doesn't the FBX1200 & FBX2400 Series filter feedback immediately?Check input level of signal at the unit and set gain so the signal level LED's on the unit light up. © 2005 Sabine, Inc. 3. It may be patched in an "effects loop", not directly in the signal path. Dynamic filters will continue to operate by notching feedback frequencies as they occur, but ultimately, gain will exceed filter capacity.

The potential appearance of sudden, loud, out-of-control feedback is every sound engineer's and musician's nightmare. Unlike more subtle audio quality problems or shortcomings, feedback is embarrassingly obvious -- it disturbs the performer, the audience, and the technician, and can damage equipment and just generally ruin your day. Feedback is a potential problem in any amplified sound system that places a microphone or pickup in proximity to a loudspeaker. Poor acoustical conditions or misguided use by unsophisticated sound system operators only aggravate the situation. To make matters still worse, a non-Sabine variety of wireless microphone adds yet another level of feedback danger to the picture. Since feedback erupts whenever the distance, location, and gain relationships between a speaker and a microphone reach a critical combination, a mic that can move anywhere results in an ever changing potential for feedback. A step in the wrong direction may change a clear sound to a piercing shriek in less than a second. This enhanced potential for feedback with a wireless system gets worse if lavalier microphones are used.
