The trick is to not use it as a hammer, but a massager. Then clear and run the fbx again and see how it's doing now. Plus, you run it, and look on the freq spectrum and where it placed it's notches and even how wide they are, or a grouping, go back to either your graphic or notch filter, or even the built in parametric, and tweek it. But the fbx in the dbx has waaaay skinnier slices it can take out. The skinny ones are more likely to get just the feedback, and not the music. Think of it as pieces of a pie 31 skinny pieces or like 7 really big ones. And the less the number of bands the graphic has, the less helpful for feedback and more destructive it is. It takes so much of the good stuff with it and can cause so much phasing probs it can become more of a detriment that a cure. But, trying to bust feedback with even a 31 band is like trying to kill flys with a shotgun. Too much top of bass/bottom of the guitar causes so many problems.

Steve has given me such a good overview of how to eq a bands overall sound. I realized that after I wrote it.Īll this stuff is so interdependent. I guess I should have said a volume standpoint. That's not brag, that's what's possible for everybody, and what I strive for. I've had fellow musicians come and see us and say it sounded as good as any concert. Don't mean to scare you, but with a little homework and the dbx, you can do wonders. and a cheap fb buster won't get it and still sound good. But as you get louder, your PA chops have got to get better. Oh, and did I mention you can program what kind of speakers, amps and board you have? Granted, dbx is owned by JBL, and they HATE Mackie and don't have a lot of choices, oh well.īottom line is, if you are going to get the most out of those speakers, you are going to have to do your homework as you have some serious power there. And I would think your 450v2's have a lot in common with my 450's. But I will send you the programs that the guy Scott, who sold me mine, put in the 260 for me.
The drawback is the 260 has a barely understandable manual, and a very shallow learning curve. Several others do too.īut, if like me, you have to eq(which I don't see any way around), sometimes run a notch filter(when the 260 runs out of "feedback slots") delay for added audibility(has to do with phase coherence out in the audience) and then be able to even eq the monitors(we use cheapo wired in ears)separately along with a limiter and the dbx's own auto gain, etc. I know our own Doug Edwards uses one, and loves it. If you think you can just get by with just one channel of feedback buster, you could go with the Sabine. Most of our outside gigs would not have been possible from a wattage standpoint, or a feedback standpoint before the dbx. I've had mine for 2yrs, and while no wonder with it, every time I use it, I learn something new it can do, and I've got a long way to go before it's obsolete. But if you think you are going to want a unit that has more capability than you currently have, and that you can expand into, the 260 will be there. If you like and can get along with little iddy biddy screens and only being able to see one "parameter"( as in I can have the feedback, notch, eq all open on the screen of my laptop at one time, and adjust and see how they interact)at a time, you don't need it. Also, I was told the PA wouldn't run to separate channels, independent of each other, as in one for monitors, one for mains. I know it's hard to believe(because it's so expensive), but things like being able to plug in your laptop to control the 260 and all(except for the feedback wizard, which makes sense, you don't want to be pokin' around with the laptop and throw the thing into feedback wizard while playing) of it's features is worth a lot. He told me the 260 has more in common with it's big brothers than the PA/PX and is one of the greatest deals in audio right now.

I know simple is better, but the 260 is a pro piece of gear and the guy I got mine used from, was a pro FOH(front of house, the big cahuna)man.

The trick with the DR 260 is you are really getting a whole rack, and I mean, HUGE, rack full of equipment, all in one rack space. He as most others here like trusty dynamic mics for their rejection of extraneous noise/feedback. I know one thing Steve would do is can the 4033, as it's just about the trickiest to keep from feeding back at hi volumes.
