CORRECT SYSTEM PLACEMENT WRONG SYSTEM PLACEMENT

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.
