Familiarize yourself with the controls and functions of the FBQ1502HD to achieve desired audio adjustments.

• Eingangsverstärkungssteuerung: Use the input gain knob for each channel to set the appropriate signal level. The 12-segment LED meter will help you monitor the input level, aiming for a strong signal without clipping (red LEDs).
• Graphic Equalizer Sliders: Adjust the 15 frequency bands for each channel to shape your audio. Moving a slider up boosts that frequency, while moving it down cuts it.
• FBQ Feedback Detection: Press the FBQ button for a channel to activate the feedback detection system. The LEDs on the frequency sliders will illuminate brightly at the frequencies causing feedback, allowing you to quickly reduce those specific bands. This function can also be used as a real-time audio analyzer.
• Low-Cut-Filter: Engage the low-cut filter button for each channel to remove unwanted low-frequency content, such as stage rumble or microphone handling noise.
• Ausgangspegelsteuerung: Use the output level knob to adjust the overall output volume of the processed signal for each channel.
• Subwoofer-Frequenzweiche: If using the dedicated subwoofer output, adjust the crossover frequency knob to determine the frequency point where the main speakers roll off and the subwoofer takes over.
