When Turbo or Auto Turbo is engaged for either channel A or B, the corresponding Clip LED on
the front panel of the POWER-Q will blink, and the soft key will change to indicate "Turb+".
Auto Turbo setup will add gain to the POWER-Q's output, to a maximum of 20 dB, or until the first
dynamic filter is set. If the 20 dB maximum is achieved, it's likely that your sound system gain
structure should be reconfigured. You may need to add more gain at your mixer inputs or outputs,
or at your power amplifier.
We recommend using the Auto Turbo Setup to take advantage of all the POWER-Q's processing
and ease of use. But regardless of the method chosen to eliminate feedback, the results will be
identical: increased gain without sacrificing clarity. In addition, once setup is complete, fixed filters
are set, and the performance begins, any new feedback problems (such as those caused by a
roving wireless mic) will be filtered by Sabine's proprietary dynamic FBX filters.
TURBO mode should be turned off when the POWER-Q is in normal operating mode. This
will usually happen automatically during setup. There are five ways to turn off Turbo mode::
1. By toggling the soft key to read "TURB-";
2. By hitting the "LOCK+/-" soft key (accessed by pressing the MORE button);
3. By setting at least one dynamic FBX filter (automatically takes the POWER-Q out of
TURBO mode; TURBO soft key selection disappears);
4. By loading any program curve from the POWER-Q memory; or
5. By turning the POWER-Q off and back on.
If the Turbo mode is somehow left on when the FBX setup procedure is completed (or ended
prematurely), you may experience distorted audio through the POWER-Q since the clip level will
be turned up fully, and easily overloaded by input level. This problem is easily remedied by turning
Turbo mode off. Turbo mode will NOT affect the output level of the POWER-Q.
NOTE: The "Turb+/-" soft key will be ghosted after setup is completed, and will remain unavail-
able until FBX filters are reset for the appropriate channel(s).
under "FBX and Parametric Filters" (MAIN MENU option #3). Press the "MORE" button to access
all the available options of this menu.
The "MAIN" soft key returns you to the MAIN MENU.
The "CURVE/LIST" button toggles between the LIST mode, a tabular listing of filters and control
parameters, and a graphical representation of a frequency response curve (CURVE mode),
showing the total curve for either channel of the POWER-Q as it is affected by all of the EQ
adjustments you have made (including graphic, parametric, FBX, and high and low pass filters).
Both the Curve and List displays are available for either the A or B channel, selectable with the
fourth soft key button.
There are two pages of soft key options
(ranges from
(ranges from
.01 to 9.99 octaves)
+12 to -84 dB)
