Stop the Squeal: Professional PA Tuning & Feedback Control
Because we add vast amounts of gain to some microphones, we constantly risk creating feedback in the audio system. In this class, we will learn how to train and use our ears.
Don't wait for feedback to ruin a performance—kill it before the artist even hits the stage. This session covers the "pro" approach to tuning a room by identifying resonance frequencies and room modes. You’ll learn how to use your ears and basic PA controls to find trouble spots, as well as how to leverage modern frequency analysis tools. Whether you prefer a minimalist setup or high-tech gear, you’ll leave with the skills to keep your audio crystal clear.
Learn to tune any space for perfect sound. This class explores the science of acoustic feedback and provides the practical skills needed to eliminate it before sound-check begins. We cover:
- Ear Training: Identify room modes and resonances using only your ears.
-
Tech Solutions: Use frequency analyzers to pinpoint nodes and anti-nodes.
- Optimization: Improve system intelligibility and mix stability for every show.
