So far, I have not had a problem with feedback using either of my Passports, and I like the sound just fine with the EQ built in to the units. I'm taking on a gig in a shopping mall with notoriously bad acoustics. I'm told to expect feedback problems.

I'm assuming that I'd be best served with an external device plugged into the "PRE-OUT/POWER AMP IN" ports that can selectively dampen the frequencies that the room excessively enhances. What do you recommend that is in an appropriate price range for someone who buys a Passport? Graphic EQ? Notch filter? Some sort of automated device that kills feedback?

I've heard of graphic equalizers that have lights that show you the volume level of each frequency band to help locate the band that needs cutting back. A notch filter could even more precisely kill the feedback without dragging a lot of music frequencies out with it, but without some sort of visual aid, finding the right notch could be tricky.

I have a MacBook. Would that, an interface and some kind of software be preferable to a dedicated box designed for EQ or feedback dampening?

Surely, others here have more experience than I do with this issue. Thanks in advance.
