When “howling” occurs

If sound from the speakers is picked up by a mic and output again through the speakers, the result is a screeching sound known as “howling”.

To eliminate howling:

•Point the mic away from the speakers.

•Move the mic away from the speakers.

•Turn VOLUME counterclockwise to lower the volume level.

•Turn ECHO counterclockwise to lower the echo effect.

•Reduce the volume when plugging in the microphone to prevent feedback.
