The FBQ2496 is a surprisingly capable feedback destroyer, especially considering the price. It’s a lifesaver for sound reinforcement in tricky venues, particularly for smaller bands and solo performers battling stage pile-up. The automatic mode is genuinely useful, but experienced engineers will appreciate the manual filter control for finer adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions
