The SHARK FBQ100 Automatic Feedback Destroyer from Behringer is a compact device that eliminates feedback and provides other versatile features in an easy-to-use design. Ideal for PA applications, the unit has an intelligent "learn mode" that can automatically equalize your PA and protect your system from feedback. The search algorithm uses narrow FBQ filters that can destroy up to 8 feedback frequencies while maintaining sonic integrity.
The SHARK FBQ100 also has an integrated mic preamplifier with 48V phantom power for use with condenser mics. The balanced XLR and 1/4" inputs can accept mic and line signals with full gain control. There are also balanced XLR and 1/4" outputs for wide system compatibility. A delay line offers up to 2.5 seconds of adjustable delay, while a noise gate offers automatic and manual parameter settings. There is an automatic compressor with variable density, as well as a subsonic filter with an adjustable cut-off frequency.

- The delay line offers up to 2.5 seconds of delay, which can be adjusted in meters, feet, or milliseconds to compensate for time variations due to speaker positioning in large venues

Comments about Behringer SHARK FBQ100 Automatic Feedback Destroyer:
I bought this item for two main reasons:
1. to use as a delay box for sync of live audio with soundboard and video editing/audio sync
2. to use for feedback suppression on monitor sends
This unit performs very well at both. Some have criticized the compression, but I was able to get a not overly squashed tone trying that out. The gate is a nice feature too. This unit does give off some heat and I do not intend to rackmount it for that reason. Good bang for the buck!

Comments about Behringer SHARK FBQ100 Automatic Feedback Destroyer:
Great value for the money! Very functional! We use the compressor and the delay to control all ouputs of our mixers for your school media productions. I took away one star for not including the manual in the box. I had to go to the manufactures website to download it then print it out.
Pros
- Easy To Use

Comments about Behringer SHARK FBQ100 Automatic Feedback Destroyer:
Currently only using the delay feature to time audio monitoring to LCD HD video monitor in a post-production edit suite. LCD delay varies between high-def and standard-def projects and the FBQ100 makes it easy to set up the appropriate delay. Would be 6 stars if it had presets to recall, but for all its functions, it is a great purchase.
