MINIFBQ FBQ800 User Manual
1.  Introduction
The MINIFBQ FBQ800 was designed with our experience and know-
how in filter technology, which spans many years. Our analog and 
digital equalizers are used the world over in reputable radio and TV 
stations, studios, and PA systems. As with the rest of our product line, 
we put forth uncompromising demands in terms of quality for the 
controls, the sound, the technical data, and the fit and finish of the 
MINIFBQ FBQ800.
FBQ Feedback Detection System
The FBQ Feedback Detection System is one of the most outstanding 
characteristics of our graphic equalizers. In this ingenious circuitry, 
LEDs on the frequency band faders identify high energy levels, 
which indicate the likelihood of feedback. What was once a 
labor-intensive search for feedback is now an activity that even a 
child could master. In addition, the MINIFBQ FBQ800 can replace an 
audio analyzer in your audio setups.

Please read the manual carefully and keep it around for 
future reference.
