[. . . ] Try resetting the filters and/or the Ground switch on the rear panel. Why do I have a loss of 6 dBs at the outputs?Your outputs are connected to an unbalanced connector, causing a loss of 6 dB through the box. 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. Why does my system sound thin and muffled?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. Why does my program sound clipped and distorted?Setup mode turns off automatically after the first dynamic filter is set, or you can turn it off manually by pressing the READY button. Can I patch two FBX channels together for twice the filters?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?Lower frequencies may take longer than higher ones. 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.
