5.3 FBQ Feedback Detection System

The FBQ system helps identify and eliminate feedback frequencies:

1. Drücken Sie die Facebook-Seite switch to activate the feedback detection mode.
2. When feedback occurs, the LEDs above the corresponding frequency sliders will illuminate brightly.
3. Gently lower the slider for the illuminated frequency until the feedback is eliminated or significantly reduced.
4. Repeat this process for any other feedback frequencies that appear.

Note: While effective, the FBQ system may require the feedback to be audible before detection. Adjusting sliders proactively based on room acoustics can also help prevent feedback.
