That loud screech or howl is feedback: sound from the speaker enters the microphone, is amplified again and loops. Fix it in this order: put the speakers in front of the microphones (never behind), lower the microphone gain and master volume, keep microphones away from speakers, use a directional microphone held close to the mouth, and cut the specific howling frequency with an equaliser if needed.
Key takeaways
- Speakers go in front of the microphones.
- Lower the gain before the volume.
- Hold the microphone close to the mouth.
- Cut the howling frequency with an equaliser.
01What to look for before you buy
- 01Move the speakersPut them in front of the microphones, facing the audience.
- 02Lower the gainTurn the microphone gain down until the howl stops, then raise it carefully.
- 03Mic techniqueHold the microphone close to the mouth and do not point it at a speaker.
- 04Use directional microphonesCardioid microphones reject sound from behind.
- 05Use an equaliserFind the howling band and cut it slightly.

05Frequently asked questions
Why does it happen more in some rooms?
Hard, echoing rooms bounce sound back into the microphone. Treating echo or using several smaller speakers helps.
Is a wireless microphone more likely to feed back?
Not by itself; feedback depends on gain, placement and the room. Wireless microphones can be moved to dangerous spots, though.
Will a more expensive microphone fix it?
A good directional microphone helps, but placement and gain matter more.
Can I buy a feedback suppressor?
Yes, they exist, but fix placement and gain first; a suppressor is a last step.
