BehringerULTRAGRAPH PRO FBQ6200HD High-Definition 31-Band Stereo Graphic Equalizer with FBQ Feedback Detection System

I must first admit that I am using this equaliser with the Behringer AMP800 headphone amplifier and the two devices are so well matched that they fit together like a well made sandwich, in all honesty they should really be sold together with connecting cables as a matched pair.OK, once properly set up (to taste) the FBQ800 brought joy to my old ears, for example, I can now hear those delicately played instruments hidden in the mid-range, the lead singer enjoying the song he is singing, background singers now brought into focus and, most amazingly, when the lead singer is singing harmony with the backing singers.I have now tailored what I hear to my particular liking, such as firming up bass and taming bright treble, i.e. mixed and equalised to taste. I believe that this item is well worth the price for it's ease of set up, loads of controls to tailor your music, the way it works so effortlessly with the AMP800 and above all this device can be set to accommodate any music lovers particular tastes.Now I will say that Hi-Fi purest will turn their noses up at the FBQ800 but this device is not about Hi-Fi, it's about enjoying your music and for this well targeted goal the FBQ800 truly brings it.However, the downside to the FBQ800 is it's plastic look and feel but if you can overlook this one flaw you will be very happy with how this device controls and delivers your music.For me, this is a great addition to my music system and a well deserved 5 star device, and “5 stars plus” when used with the Behringer AMP800.

I bought this to shape the sound of my headphone setup. Depending on the source/amp/headphones a wee tweak here or there can make all the difference. I was previously using a full sized unit but it introduced too much noise and also looked a bit daft with the smaller DACs and amps you tend to use for headphones. This unit is compact and although fairly basic it does the job very nicely. It does introduce some noise but I have to use extremely low impedance high sensitivity IEM's to hear it, and only when no sound is playing; with everything else it's so low that I can't detect it. With its 9 bands it's versatile enough to hone the sound without being overkill. I wish that it would accept more than one input at a time, although that's easily sorted with a switch box and it does have two outputs. A really welcome addition would be a balance control as I have hearing damage in my left ear and I can't always control the sound at source. At this price I'm tempted to buy another to adjust each side independently.The build quality isn't the best, it's a very light plastic box and will move around unless you have something on top or blutack it down. It feels like a cheap device to use but that's probably because it is! The sound is what matters and in that respect it's excellent, it really makes a difference. It won't make bad music good but it will make it better! :)

Value for money it's easily 5 stars, it was £37 when I picked this up, but honestly anything below 60 I'd be happy. I would say however it lacks the material quality of similar sized audio items, such as headphone amps and DACs.With that said if you don't care what it looks like or feels like, it does the job well. For me it added very little noise and I'm using it with fairly low priced equipment. I'm using it essentially with a headphone amp and for some songs / applications I wanted to be able to boost some frequencies (add bass) which I know many audiophiles will say is wrong, but I wanted it.This does that perfectly. My setup is - TV to DAC via optical (DAC = FX-AUDIO DAC-X6) to this Mini FBQ equalizer to a little Dot 1+ valve headphone amp (with Mullard tubes). Sometimes I want a bit more warmth and bass response, this allows me to do that, I lower the gain (level) by two notches so -2 to avoid clipping / distortion and I love it.So if you have a similar setup and were looking for a hardware EQ that fits on a desk, for the money it's honestly worth a punt. Obviously the two other devices I mention are less than £100, I think the amp cost me about £130 about 5 years ago. If you're using high-end equipment this may not fit your needs, especially as others have mentioned it introduced a lot of noise for them - I didn't find this.Some of the cool features of this I don't use, as I'm playing digital music through a DAC, even when using a guitar with software amps. For example the low cut input button, this is geared towards live recordings with mics, it'll remove very low frequencies in an attempt to remove stomps on a stage or similar - low frequencies not from an instrument or voice. I saw someone mention it was useful to remove bangs from their desk - this will not do that, it cuts low frequencies from the input, not ambient sounds. If you were to apply it while listening to a bass heavy song, you'd just remove them, which isn't its intention.The other feature is the FBQ mode, it's the EQ MODE button, this changes the red solid lights on the sliders to flash if feedback is detected on that frequency allowing you to lower it. Not something you need for pre-recorded audio.So if you are a recording artist or band or in a studio or some kind, I can't comment on how it performs like that. My ratings are purely on using it for an EQ for a headphone amp.I see the price has already increased slightly, but it's still a bargain. On build quality, the back of the power supply fell off as I plugged it in.

Never owned an EQ pedal before despite being a guitar player since 1989.I can now see the use they have and although I do not use it all the time it certainly is being used.I opted for this pedal because of the price at just £23 it was worth a try. The pedal is plastic and I think for gigging I would go for a metal case just for the extra reassurance of it being robust. At the moment I use it at home for studio work only.If you are curious about an EQ pedal then I recommend trying this one.

This is a amazing audio processor that made my sound system sound even better.I love it's build quality and how easy it is to use.It doesn't add any interference which I love.
