http://www.zzounds.com/item--BEHFBQ2496 Been looking at the above. What is it? A compressor on crack?

I'm with mckyj57. Don't waste your money. You would only need this with a band setup, not karaoke. What is does is stops feedback by detecting the frequency range that is producing feedback and cuts that particular frequency out until the feedback stops. A good sound tech will not ever need this except in extreme circumstances. For instance, the layout of the room and the set up of the band is such that feedback will be inevitable no matter what you do. But that kind of circumstance is extremely rare in my experience. Plus, it can actually get in the way of mixing good sound and make your job HARDER. Keep your cash and use your ears a little more.

It is supposed to sense feedback & slice it out of the mix before it gets too out of control. I had tested one & it does slice the feedback, however it has to be well into feedback before it does anything. It would pull it out & feedback stopped - this i'll give it. However it would also start pulling out frequencies that weren't feeding back, just real hot frequencies. Eventually pulling out so many frequencies that the mix sounded like crap. Now I took that unit & used it as a parametric eq (which it can be as well) & put it in my recording studio & was actually able to make some use of it there, giving a little emphasis on certain frequencies - since it's variable & can adjust from a wide band per frequency to a very narrow slice, it was more effective in the studio rather than the live situation. Save your money, you'd be better off getting a nice 31 band eq like the dbx 231 over the feedback unit.

Bought one. Tested but never used it. Sold it on Ebay. It does work. Removes your control. Should be called Sound destroyer. Lon is accurate.

Thanks for all your feedback (pun intended - but not necessarily appreciated). To be honest, this weekend I had a KJ come look at my gear. Levelled my amps to run flat. Put all my tweaking on the mixer, set my EQs and wow - feedback 99% eliminated, much more control over tone... Still want a compressor though!

I run a Behringer Shark DSP110 on my cordless mic. I love it . It is simple to setup, works great and cost under $100.00 I use it for Karaoke and our band setup.
