  • Page 6: To Eliminate Instrument Feedback

    To Eliminate Instrument Feedback: One of the most common problems encountered when amplifying acoustic instruments, especially in small environments, is feedback. Acoustic instruments typically have inherent qualities which cause reso- nant feedback at specific frequencies. Instrument tone controls and sound board equalizers are helpful in getting rid of the problem, but they typi- cally operate around relatively wide frequency bands.
