FBX2410 Feedback Exterminator®

Introducing the next generation in automatic feedback
controllers: cleaner, faster, more transparent
Since Sabine first invented digital automatic feedback control in 1991, FBX Feedback Exterminators
have set the standard for transparent and reliable
automatic feedback control. Now Sabine is proud to
announce the latest innovation in automatic feedback
controllers: the FBX2410 Dual Feedback Controller.
The new FBX2410 includes the latest improvements
to Sabine’s patented feedback control algorithms,
providing the fastest ever feedback detection and
elimination. Sabine’s one Hz placement accuracy
means these filters are even more transparent, and
the signal to noise ratio has been improved by 10dB.
All this means the best just got better.

■■ Super-fast Automatic Feedback Control
■■ Quick and Quiet Setup
■■ Increased headroom and reduced noise
floor
■■ Accurately distinguishes music from
feedback
■■ Places filters with 1 Hz resolution
■■ Transparent – leaves your sound clear
and untouched
■■ Provides more gain before feedback (6 to
9dB typical)
■■ 24-bit Digital Resolution
■■ Three-color LED filter display
■■ 12 Filters per channel
■■ Flexible Filter Controls
■■ Dynamic Filter Reset
■■ XLR & ¼”TRS inputs/outputs

The Power of FBX
FBX Feedback Exterminators set themselves apart for their
ability to control feedback during the program, not just at
setup time. If feedback occurs during that crucial moment of
the show, in the middle of the big solo, or just when the worship leader begins the sermon, the FBX places a filter that
only kills the feedback, not the sound and power you work
so hard to achieve. Think of the FBX as a very advanced
set of automatic parametric filters. If you had the time, the
filters, and the test equipment, you could find the feedback
frequencies, dial in the precise filter location, and make a
very narrow filter, just deep enough to remove the offending
tone. The FBX does it all for you automatically, and it does
it faster than any other method. How do we do it? First let’s
consider just how a superior feedback control filter should
behave. Filters can be described by their Speed, Accuracy,
Resolution, and Sonic Integrity.
SPEED: The industry’s best digital signal processors give
the FBX2410 a distinct speed advantage over all other automatic feedback controllers. And in Setup Mode the speed
is increased, so you can complete your entire setup of the
FBX in less than 30 seconds.
ACCURACY: Is it music or is it feedback? This is the most
difficult question your feedback controller must answer. A
wrong decision means you waste filters (less gain for you)
and punch unnecessary holes in your sound. Less sophisticated feedback controllers place filters on any loud tone,
even if it is music, but the FBX uses a patented analysis of
the harmonic content of your program material. Because
feedback is low in harmonics, and music and speech are
rich in harmonics, the FBX is able to make the correct and
accurate answer to the music or feedback question.
RESOLUTION: This is a big one. Now that we know feedback is happening, we need to target it precisely. Many
feedback controllers place their filters in the general vicinity
of the feedback and then widen the filters until the feedback goes away. The FBX uses a more sophisticated solution. It centers the filter exactly on the frequency that is

feeding back. This unique one-Hertz resolution enables the
FBX to control feedback with transparent filters that are ten
times narrower than graphic equalizer filters, which can only
muster 31 spots to place their very wide filters. Feedback
frequencies are single tones, and that means there can be almost 20,000 places for them to occur in the audio spectrum.
You can see that using a feedback control device with less
resolution is like shooting a fly with a shotgun.

FBX2410 Engineering Specifications
FILTERS
• 12 independent digital notch filters per channel, controlled automatically from
40 Hz to 20 KHz.
• Filter width: user-controllable – either 1/10 or 1/5 octave*, constant “Q”
• Resolution: 1 Hz
• Time required to find and eliminate feedback: 0.4 seconds, typical @ 1 KHz
• Number of Dynamic vs. Fixed filters per channel: user selectable. Last configuration stored in memory.

SONIC INTEGRITY: Sabine’s innovative approach to digital
filtering is unique in the industry. Our filters just sound better,
with far less phase distortion and a smoother response. Most
other feedback controllers and graphic equalizers claim to
provide Constant Q filters, but they really get wider as the
filters go deeper. Sabine filters remain extremely narrow regardless of their depth.

INPUT/OUTPUT
• Input/Output Maximum Signal Levels: Balanced +18dBV peak,
unbalanced +12 dBV peak
• Output Drive: Unit will perform as specified driving a load >600 Ohms
• Input Impedance: Balanced or unbalanced >40K Ohms, PIN 2 high
• Output Impedance: Balanced or unbalanced 150 Ohms nominal, PIN 2 high
• Bypass: True power off bypass
• Headroom: +14 dB peak @ 4 dBV nominal input, balanced
• I/O Connectors: XLR-3 and 1/4” TRS

Faster Setup…
The FBX2410 gives you the easiest, fastest, and quietest
setup procedure. In less than 30 seconds you will be ready
for your performance, and the whole process is so quiet you
can almost do it without anyone knowing it is happening!

PERFORMANCE**
• Frequency response: 20 Hz - 20 KHz +/- 0.3 dB
• Gain matching: +/- 0.2 dB
• Spectral Variation: + 0.25 dB, 20 Hz to 20 KHz
• SNR - Dynamic Range: >108 dB
• THD: .005% at 1 KHz. < 0.01% 20 Hz - 10 KHz, < 0.025% 10 KHz - 20 KHz

…and a Bright Display
After the super-fast setup is complete the bright blue LED on
the Ready button clearly tells you the show can begin, and
you’ve got all the extra gain you need. You have complete
control of the mix between filter types, and the bright, threecolor LED display shows you your filter status at all times
– you can see it from across the room!
