[QUOTE="Eric Hill - USA, post: 82107, member: 2100"] Re: X32 Discussion A feedback destroyer is just an automatic parametric EQ, with a Q up to around 1/80 of an octave. The higher available Q's are very effective for feedback control. The Q on the parametric EQ's of the X32 is roughly 1/6 to 1/8 of an octave – which is not very effective for feedback control. The Q on a 31-band EQ is 1/3 of an octave - also not very effective for feedback control. I'd like to avoid the entire mic placement/choice and monitor placement/choice discussion. Spoken word on an omni-directional mic along with a wedge, pushes the envelope of feedback. With a high-Q PEQ, that can be tamed. (Be it manual or automatic, that's another discussion.)
