when a mic is placed too close to a loudspeaker— the signal from the loud-

speaker is fed into the mic, then into the loudspeaker, then into the mic, over and over again until an oscillating tone is generated. Because the QE/QV Headsets are so good at rejecting signal not coming from directly in front of the mic, you’ll find that their use greatly minimizes feedback problems.
