CONTROLLING FEEDBACK
Feedback, a howling noise or shrill sound, is self-generated by the sound system. It’s caused by
a microphone picking up the sound coming from the speaker and then re-amplifying it. Once a
feedback loop starts, it continues until the system is adjusted.
FEEDBACK CAUSES
• Microphone too close, pointing towards
or in front of speaker
• Volume setting is too loud for room
• Sound reflecting off hard surfaces
AVOIDING & ELIMINATING FEEDBACK
• Point microphone in a different direction
• Keep microphone away from the speaker
• Place speaker in FRONT of the microphone
• Reduce the sound system volume levels
CAUTION: Feedback can damage your equipment & may be hazardous to hearing.
