Frequently Asked Questions About PA Equipment
PA speakers are designed for projecting sound over a distance and handling higher SPLs, while studio monitors prioritize accurate sound reproduction at close range.
Reduce microphone gain, move the microphone further from the speakers, use EQ to reduce resonant frequencies, and employ feedback suppressors if necessary.
