[. . . ] FBQ800 User's Manual Version 1. 0 November 2005 MINIFBQ MINIFBQ FBQ800 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the rear section). No user serviceable parts inside; refer servicing to qualified personnel. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain and moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. WARNING: This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure--voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock. [. . . ] As long as the power supply unit is connected to a power source, the power supply unit consumes energy. IN/OUT button: To activate or, alternatively deactivate control elements, use this button, which can appear: pushed in and illuminated: The FBQ800 activates all control elements. If the difference between the level of the noise floor and the level of the signal is not sufficient, you lose signal quality. Because sounds are not perfectly consistent, you cannot flawlessly maintain the signal level at 0 dB. This involves monitoring and adjusting the level of the input signal and the output signal, as follows: 1. To begin EQing in a neutral environment, set all frequency-band faders ( ) to 0 dB. To protect the FBQ800 against signals that are unexpectedly high, turn the LEVEL control ( ) to -12 dB. To monitor the input level, use the METER SELECT button ( ) together with the IN/OUT meter ( ), as described in this documentation. If the input level is higher or lower than 0 dB and you: can adjust the output level of the input source, adjust the output level of the input source until the input level of the FBQ800 is 0 dB cannot adjust the output level of the input source, set the output level of the FBQ800 to 0 dB, as follows: A. To monitor the output level of the FBQ800, use the METER SELECT button ( ) together with the IN/OUT meter ( ), as described in this documentation. While you monitor the output level of the FBQ800, use the LEVEL knob ( adjust the output level of the FBQ800 to 0 dB. ) to If the frequency-band faders and all other control elements are not already activated, use the IN/OUT button ( ) to activate them. To EQ the signal, use the EQ section ( ), as described in this documentation. To monitor the output level, use the METER SELECT button ( ) together with the IN/OUT meter ( ), as described in this documentation. If the output level is higher or, alternatively lower than 0 dB, use the LEVEL control ( ) to adjust the output level to 0 dB. Most of the time, 0 dB is the optimal output level. However, the optimal level for some output targets can be greater or less than 0 dB. 8 Periodically monitor and, if necessary, adjust the input level and output level, as described previously in steps 3 and 6. CONTROL ELEMENTS MINIFBQ FBQ800 If you activated all control elements ( input signal, as follows: ), you can use control elements through to EQ the RANGE button: To select a range for the EQ faders, use this button, which can appear: pushed in and illuminated: The fader range extends from -6 dB to +6 dB. not pushed in and not illuminated: The fader range extends from -12 dB to +12 dB. FBQ IN button: To manage the FBQ Feedback Detection System, use this button, which can appear: pushed in and illuminated: The FBQ Feedback Detection System is activated. If the signal level is high in a frequency band, the relevant fader LED illuminates brightly. To reduce the potential for feedback, cut the signal in the relevant frequency band ( ).
