An important consideration in microphone use is acoustic interference, which can occur whenever delayed versions of the same sound are mixed together, acoustically or electrically. With mics, this may happen in several ways: mics of reverse polarity picking up the same sound, multiple mics picking up the same sound from different distances, a single mic picking up multiple reflections of the same sound, or any combination of these. The results are similar in each case, and include audible peaks and…

This article is provided by Rane Corporation. Acoustic Feedback (also referred to as the Larsen effect) has been roaming around sound reinforcement systems for a very long time, and everyone seems to have their own way to tame the feedback lion. Digital signal processing opened up the microphone to some creative solutions, each with its own unique compromises. This article takes a closer look into that annoying phenomenon called acoustic feedback and some of the DSP based tools available…

This article is provided by Behind The Mixer. The low hum you hear is not a distant cargo plane. It’s not your local television helicopter. It’s the beginning of the end… it’s feedback. Sooner or later every sound system operator experiences feedback. Most people think of feedback as that dreaded deafening high-pitched squeal resulting from a bad combination of mic gain, mic location and speaker volume, but feedback often begins as a low pitched hum. If you recognize it…

So what is happening when we put a sound system in a church or in any enclosed room? Why is the sound sometimes clear in one part of the church but only a few seats away we can hardly hear anything at all while another few seats down it is very loud, or if we hear we cannot understand what is being said? Why is it when the speakers were brought in and demonstrated on stands they sounded great on…

Provided by Sweetwater. Q: Our band recently built a drum riser to use on gigs. Now it seems like the drums feedback in the low end a lot more, especially the bass drum. What can we do? A: The drum riser is sympathetically vibrating (resonating) with the drums and/or PA system. Either way it is feeding these resonances back to the drums, causing the heads to ring a little more, which is being picked up by the mics, etc.…
