Special features of the FBX-2020Plus:
The FBX-2020Plus is a dual-channel unit with an improved algorithm that allows it to better distinguish the difference
between feedback and music.
It has improved 20-bit digital resolution, providing superior dynamic range and signal-to-noise ratio.
The FBX-2020Plus has 12 feedback filters per channel, giving the unit more feedback elimination power for the toughest
venues.
The FBX-2020Plus's new ClipGuardadaptive clip level control, with TURBO set-up mode, increases the effective
dynamic range by more than 10dB and makes set-up faster and easier.
The FBX-2020Plus now includes a Dynamic Filter Reset option.
The FBX-2020Plus incorporates an internal power supply.
Standard FBX features such as lockable fixed filters and switchable 1/10- and 1/5-octave constant "Q" filters are also
included.
CONGRATULATIONS! You now have the state-of-the-art in feedback control. Your Sabine FBX-2020Plus Dual Feedback
Exterminator, a dual-channel, 20-bit digital filtering device that gives you automatic real-time feedback control and increases
the clarity and volume of your system.
The FBX-2020Plus incorporates the latest in digital signal processing technology. It automatically senses feedback in a sound
system and determines its pitch. It then places one of 12 constant "Q" micro-filters on the resonating frequency and eliminates
the feedback in typically less than one second.
QUICK-START OPERATION
For best results, read all operating instructions before using the FBX-2020
Plus
. If you're
already familiar with the FBX or just want a basic overview of FBX operation, this simple
quick-start procedure is for you. More detailed instructions are on page 7 inside this
operating guide.
1. Place the FBX between the output of your mixer and the input of your power amp.
2. With the mixer master volume down, put one FBX-2020Plus channel in active mode
(red BYPASS LED off), then slowly raise the mixer master volume to the point of
feedback.
3. Keep raising the master volume until all of your fixed filters and one dynamic filter are
set, then lower the volume slightly. The rest of the filters catch new feedback
frequencies throughout the program.
4. Repeat this procedure for the other FBX-2020Plus channel, & you're ready to go.
