Application Note:
Vocals: Feedback
Feedback is the result of part of the sound
projected by a speaker being picked up
by a microphone, which sets up a signal
loop. Above a specific system gain setting,
the sound system begins to howl making
the sound engineer dive for the master
fader to reduce the volume and stop the
howling.
To increase usable gain before feedback,
the AKG P 5/P 5 S has a supercardioid
polar pattern. It is most sensitive to
sounds arriving from in front of it (your
voice) while rejecting most of the sound
arriving from the sides or rear (from
monitor speakers for instance).
To maximize gain before feedback, place
the main (“FOH”) speakers at the front
edge of the stage, stay behind them, and
be sure never to point any microphone
directly at any speaker.
