Back by popular demand, this webinar addresses one of the most frustrating audio issues for both musicians and engineers.
Everybody knows what feedback sounds like: the annoying squeal that's all too common in live sound situations. "Gain-before-feedback" refers to how loud a sound system can be turned up before feedback occurs. In this hour-long webinar, we will look at tips, tools, and techniques for maximizing gain-before-feedback, and bust some myths about less helpful approaches.
Topics to be covered include:
- What causes feedback? (Hint: it's not the microphone!)
- What is potential acoustic gain?
- How should automatic microphone mixers be used?
- How do feedback reducers work?
We will be joined by Michael Pettersen, Shure's expert on automatic mixers and their history.
