Why do my Electro-Voice Speakers produce acoustic feedback?
- WWilliam LongAug 13, 2025
If your Electro-Voice Speakers produce acoustic feedback when the input level is amplified, there are several potential causes. First, the gain structure may be incorrect; try reducing the microphone levels at the mixing console or input source, or if the microphone is directly connected to the speaker, reduce the input level on the speaker. Positioning the microphone closer to the sound source can also help increase gain-before-feedback. Second, ensure the MODE is set to LIVE or SPEECH, not MUSIC. Finally, adjust the loudspeaker setup so the microphone is behind them, or if using the loudspeaker in a monitor position, aim the loudspeaker to the back of the microphone.
