Metering – BSS Audio believes in providing engineers with information, and the FCS–966's 8–segment led meter shows output level and warns of signal clipping within the eq. When the unit is switched to bypass, the meter will read the input level, allowing accurate matching of the 'dry' and equalised signals using the gain control.
More Gain Control Per Filter – Each eq fader has /–15dB of adjustable gain, more than many competitive graphic eq's. The faders are long–throw 45mm types for precision control.
High Pass Filter – Also provided on the FCS–966 is a sweepable high–pass filter which can be used very effectively to restrict the low–energy output for better amplifier and loudspeaker performance. Stage monitors also benefit from the application of a high–pass filter to remove bass signals e.g. from vocal–only wedges.
Centre Bypass – When any eq fader is in its centre detent position, the filter is automatically bypassed, for optimum performance.
Input/Outputs – All the inputs and outputs of the FCS–966 are electronically balanced, with optional transformer balancing. To make installation of the FCS–966 easier, we've provided three differerent interface connectors: XLR–type, 1/4" TRS jack and Phoenix/Combicon screw terminals.
Relay Bypass – The EQ IN buttons switch the EQ path into circuit. When switched out, or power fails, a high–quality relay switches the input signal directly to the output connectors.
