Samson Expedition XP106 - Avoiding Feedback

Avoiding
Feedback
Feedback is the annoying
howling
and
squealing
that
can heard when the
microphone picks up sound from the speaker. The sound
is
then
re-amplified
back through the speaker again, creating a feedback
loop. Follow
these steps to
minimize the
likelihood
of feedback:
•
Avoid pointing the microphone directly at the speaker.
In
general
it
is
recommended
that
the microphone
be
positioned behind the speaker
enclosure.
This uses the
directional characteristics of the speaker and
microphone to your advantage.
•
Keep the microphone
as
far from the speaker
as
possible.
This
will help
achieve
isolation
between the speaker and the microphone, and allow
you
to increase the output of the
XP
106.
• Position the microphone
as
close
to the sound source
as
possible. This
will enable
the microphone to pick up more direct sound, and
allow
you to
reduce the microphone
input
gain
control.
•
Reduce the
overall level of the speaker.
