How Does Equalization Work?
- Imagine the audio frequency range as a very wide highway with lots of “lanes”. Each of these lanes represents a specific frequency band.
- The lanes on the left side contain the really low-frequency content, mainly bass, bass vocals, and the kick and tom drums
- The middle lanes make up the fundamental zone of most musical instruments and the male and female vocals
- The right-hand lanes have all the high-frequency stuff, such as snare drums, cymbals, higher pitched percussion instruments, and the content that adds sizzle to the mix
FBQ Totally Feedback-Free
- For more than 20 years Behringer has designed and manufactured some of the most successful FBQ Feedback Elimination processors. Now you can own and enjoy the benefits of this technology as they have integrated the revolutionary FBQ Feedback Detection System into this product, so your sound system is completely feedback-free, allowing you to focus on your performance.
- Utilizing an ultra-fast feedback detection system, this ingenious circuitry helps you recognize and tame feedback frequencies immediately. When feedback is sensed in a specific frequency range, the LED on the associated EQ fader illuminates, showing you at a glance which fader to lower to overcome the feedback. It's that simple.
Ultralow-Noise Operation
- The high-definition FBQ6200HD provides superb, ultralow-noise performance thanks to top-notch German engineering, and the use of highest-quality components.
- Industry-leading 4580 dual operational amplifiers are employed throughout for the utmost signal integrity across the entire audio spectrum. With 31-bands of smooth and precise equalization per channel, the stereo FBQ6200HD adds the finishing professional touch to your recordings and live shows.
Special Tools for Low and High Frequencies
- The low-frequency sound range requires special attention. That's why the FBQ6200HD features an ultra-effective Low-Cut filter on each channel, to help remove non-essential bass content, such as floor rumble, room resonance, and electrical hum, which really uses up your power amp's headroom.
- This added high-precision control gives the FBQ6200HD the power to accurately fine-tune your system's overall sound, creating crystal-clear and dynamic output with incredibly tight and punchy bottom-end.
Built-In Crossover
- Speaking of special low-frequency tools, the FBQ6200HD also has a dedicated subwoofer output with an adjustable (30 to 200 Hz) cut-off frequency.
- Balanced XLR outputs are provided, so you can connect to power amps or directly to your active subwoofers, without any additional hardware.
Stereo or Double-Duty?
The FBQ6200HD is designed to improve your sound from every angle: it’s a great stereo Front of House (FOH) equalizer; or you could use one side for mono FOH, while the other side EQs your monitors—which is where you need the maximum feedback control.
Onboard Limiters and Pink-Noise Generator
In addition to being a high-definition graphic equalizer, the FBQ6200HD has even more features, such as switchable limiters on each channel with separate threshold controls, long-throw 45mm frequency faders for added precision, and a built-in pink-noise generator that enables the FBQ6200HD to function as a highly accurate audio spectrum analyzer.
