John Roden Prefers Power-Q for ACDC at Toronto SARS Concert

SABINE POWER-Q: JOHN RODEN'S CHOICE FOR AC/DC TORONTO SARS CONCERT

Alachua, Florida — World-acclaimed sound engineer John Roden prefers the Sabine Power-Q for AC/DC monitor vocal inserts at the Toronto SARS concert. "It's my favorite vocal insert," declares Roden. "I simply put the Power-Q into Turbo Mode and let it get rid of the feedback frequencies," he continues. "Then, if I have to turn a vocal up, I can do it safely."

"The Power-Q is an amazing piece of kit," comments Roden. "And it's still the best tool for the application to which I apply it."

“The Power-Q is quiet and allows you to find the exact [feedback] frequency, narrow it down and not even notice the filter is in your system”
John Roden

Roden used the Power-Q for a vocal insert on AC/DC lead singer Brian Johnson's microphone at the much publicized SARS relief concert in Toronto, Canada — as well as on Paul McCartney's vocal on his recent tour.

"The Power-Q is quiet and allows you to find the exact [feedback] frequency, narrow it down and not even notice the filter is in your system," Roden attests, "but you can notice the extra dB of gain it gives you."

The Power-Q™ ADF4000 is a multifunction digital signal processor combining the functions of nine separate products into one easy-to-use 2U package. The 24-bit, two-channel Power-Q contains a parametric EQ (up to 12 band per channel, with low and high pass filters), 31-band graphic EQ with adjustable filter widths, full-featured real-time analyzer, compressor/limiter, delay, noise gate and 24 patented FBX Feedback Exterminator® filters (12 per channel). The Power-Q allows all functions to operate concurrently.

John Roden leans heavily on Power-Q for vocal inserts.

Sabine also manufactures the now-shipping SWM7000 2.4 GHz Wireless Microphone Systems. These units are clear of the DTV signals, and have on-board digital signal processing including Sabine's FBX Feedback Exterminator®, compressor/limiter, parametric EQ, adaptive de-esser and Microphone SuperModeling™.
