The FBQ2496 is an incredibly fast feedback suppressor because it uses a speedy feedback detection algorithm that automatically and intelligently locates up to 20 feedback frequencies per channel. It then sets an extremely narrow notch filter to eliminate them, leaving the remainder of the signal virtually untouched.

The auto mode continuously monitors the mix, resetting programmed filters automatically, while the manual mode allows individual settings of up to 40 fully parametric filters with frequency, bandwidth, and gain adjustment. With its various modes you can master just about any live sound situation, or use the Feedback Destroyer Pro as a creative sound-shaping tool.

Behringer FBQ2496 Feedback Destroyer Pro Feedback Suppressor/Parametric EQ Features:

  • Automatically and intelligently locates and destroys up to 20 frequencies per channel
  • Ultrafast feedback detection (>0.2 sec) due to proprietary FFT signal analysis
  • Ultra-narrow notch-filters (up to 1/60th octave) for very effective feedback suppression, while keeping highest sonic quality
  • The Set-and-forget default setting plus Panic button enable immediate and super-easy Feedback Destroyer performance
  • Auto mode continuously monitors the mix, resetting programmed filters automatically
  • Single-shot mode automatically detects and destroys feedback and locks the filter until you reset it manually
  • Manual mode allows individual setting of up to 40 fully parametric filters with frequency, bandwidth and gain adjustment
  • Ultra-high resolution 24 bit/96kHz A/D and D/A converter powered by a 32-bit DSP for ultimate audio performance
  • Open MIDI architecture for future software updates and flexible communication with digital equipment
  • Balanced inputs and servo-balanced outputs with gold-plated XLR and 1 4" TRS connectors
  • Internal switch-mode power supply for flexibility (100-240V), good transient response, plus low power consumption for energy savings
  • High-quality components and rugged construction
  • Conceived and designed by BEHRINGER Germany

Huge increase in headroom. Wow!!!

I bought this because our band practices in a small, very live room. It killed almost all of our feedback, and gave us a huge increase in headroom. Now we use it onstage in our monitor loop, and it does half our soundcheck for us. Eliminates onstage feedback better than most sound guys I've come across. I've never needed to mess with it manually. I always just use it on Auto Pilot. An absolute must have item.

We tried the DSP1124 before this guy, and completely wrote it off as a useless gimmick. It killed our mix, made everything sound "digital" like a 128kb/s MP3 and didn't really do anything to help with feedback.

This FBQ2496 is a completely different animal. First we tried the system prime function, and about blew the ears of the entire club. USE THIS FEATURE WITH CAUTION! Then we decided to just use the auto mode with a 1minute reset time for the filters.

Throughout the night we would start to hear the very beginning of feedback, and within a split second it disappeared, By the end of the gig we had no fear for feedback. This thing in auto mode zaps it every time. You hear the very start of it and the "zap!" it's gone. I love it! At $400 this thing would be a deal, at this price, it's a no brainer.

BTW, we ran this on the inserts of the mics pre compressor. We chose not to bother the main mix with filters and it worked out great! Get one!
