IF you don't have some good equalizers for tuning the system get that going first, and if needed learn to use them. Consider points brought up by others in this newsgroup as well. > Small venues, Mackie 450s and such... What's driving them? Again look to good 31 band graphics or quality paras first. I've been in this business for decades and never seen the need for one of those boxes in a musical context. MEeting rooms, etc. that are "set it and forget it" type installations I could maybe see using one.

I have a 2496. For spoken word events where the speaker is an unknown quantity, or there will be multiple speakers, it has been very handy. The ability to 'stack' a 31 band graphic on top of a parametric covers a lot of scenarios. I use the graphic to smooth out general system response, and the graphic to notch the spiky stuff. Feedback occurs in very narrow bands. Even a 1/3 octave graphic cuts more than necessary. So, if you have a limited budget and are considering buying a feedback destroyer, don't. Invest in an EQ unit fit for the job. -- Steve <snip> McQ

Any of >those in the rig? So far we get along with a 4 band EQ in the mixer (xone92), but we're going to get a proper graphic unit, 31 bands sounds good! >> Any suggestions or recommendations? > >IF you don't have some good equalizers for tuning the system get that going first, and if needed learn to use them. >Consider points brought up by others in this newsgroup as >well. > > >> Small venues, Mackie 450s and such... > >What's driving them?
