How Mackie Feedback Eliminator Stops Mic Feedback in Its Tracks
The first time you encounter mic feedback, you will probably think to yourself: "Wow, that is literally the worst sound I have ever heard. How do I make it stop immediately?" And you won’t be alone. Microphone feedback is one of the absolute worst things that can happen with a live sound system. That’s the whole reason Mackie invented Feedback Eliminator, the magic button on your Thump loudspeaker that stops mic feedback instantly.
You’ve seen the “mic feedback” trope hundreds of times. Marty McFly taking the stage to play “Johnny B. Goode” in Back to the Future. Radar trying to operate a radio in M*A*S*H*. Maverick serenading Charlie with “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’” in Top Gun. Frankly, we think it’s time to put this trope to bed. Thanks to Mackie feed feedback is a thing of the past.
