Sabine FBX-SOLO SM-820

You want more gain? Increased clarity? Automatic feedback control? Want to save some money? Sabine has the answer: the new FBX-SOLO, a miniature version of the award-winning FBX-901 Feedback Exterminator. One SOLO controls feedback on one microphone or instrument - you decide which inputs get precision, automatic feedback control and maximum gain, from one channel to all your channels. The affordable and ultimate solution to feedback problems is now even better with the new FBX-SOLO 820 Series -- the single-channel solution for feedback control.

New features of the SOLOs include increased headroom, a programmable noise gate, & switchable input/output levels for more versatility. Like all the FBX Feedback Exterminators, the FBX-SOLO does what no other audio product can do: it automatically detects and eliminates feedback while leaving the sound crystal clear. The patented algorithm distinguishes music from feedback so it works even during the program, not just at setup time. If you use your 31-band EQ just to shape your sound and let your FBX control feedback, you should expect up to 9 dB more gain and a dramatic improvement in the sound quality. Why? When you pull down a graphic EQ slider to chase feedback, you also pull out a big chunk of your sound. FBX constant-Q filters are 10 times narrower than graphic EQ filters. Narrow filters mean more gain and more clarity.
