[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 47977, member: 67"] Re: Foh eq questions. And it's an anomaly, or there would be folks with pitchforks and torches headed to England. Part of reality is that shit breaks and fails, even our precious expensive tools... although they tend to fail less than many other things. Nothing is risk-free, and everything will need eventual repair or replacement. All the top designs like the FCS960 or DN360 are getting long in the tooth and I'd wager that new production is very miniscule as the audio industry continues its inexorable move to the digital realm. Anything you buy will be a crap shoot, but that there haven't been major regional companies screaming about their FCS960s or DN360s means that you're probably safe buying either model. If I were buying for my personal use I'd get the BSS. BTW, the BSS Opal (FCS-966) isn't the worst EQ in the world, but it doesn't work/sound like a budget 960 which is why you'll find folks that diss them. We've got a couple left over; we had more of them and sold them off when national act monitor guys expressed a stronger preference for DN360 or dbx because of the way the EQ filters reacted to fader moves. They're not bad EQs, they just aren't 966's.... but I'd suggest you audition one before committing to a purchase. [/QUOTE]
