How To Get Rid Of The Annoying Microphone Feedback ?

We have all heard this phenomenon in any place where microphones and speakers are used . Getting rid of microphone feedback is a critical task for any sound engineer .

What causes microphone feedback ?
In the audio area , this phenomenon is known as feedback and can occur due to different causes . It mainly occurs when the microphone gain is very high and the loudspeaker output is also high , therefore ; the sound re-enters through the microphone and increases its level infinitely or until our speakers are damaged .
Similarly , it happens when the gain levels and decibels of our speakers are low but the distance between them is very close , so the sound feeds back . Another cause of coupling is the reverberation of the room where the equipment is mounted ; if the reverberation is very high , the phenomenon is likely to occur .
