Avoiding feedback
One of the most frequent problems when operating speaker systems is feedback. It can be recognized by
howling and growling loudspeakers. Feedback is created when a signal is recorded by a microphone,
amplified, played back by a loudspeaker and then again recorded by the microphone.
The prerequisite for feedback is that the played back signal is louder than the original signal. Feedback
never covers the whole frequency range but only one overboosted frequency.
Make sure that you install especially the monitor speakers so far away from the microphone that another
recording of the microphone signal is impossible.
Extreme levels like feedback, bass hum or the beats of a dropping microphone can destroy loudspeakers
within very short time and produce immediate hearing damage. Such extreme levels must be avoided at any
rate. We recommend to use appropriate equalizers and compressors/limiters.
