Guest djdennis Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 my parents have a shit with theyr firm.during this shit they'll have party nights today and tomorow. yesterday they had one too.i brought(besides cd-players and a pc) one of my reloop 4000 mkII decks. there was a total of about220W(and today theres another 600 to come ).the prob is that if i put some volume on my deck i get this crazy hurling sound like when a mic is not set correct...dunno whats called in english..in romanian its called MICROPHONIA. how can i get rid of this???i have a 40W speaker extremely close to the deck,i'll move it,but will this solve the problem..can anyone help??????? and please explain why i get this sound?someone told me that it is because of the "inferior quality" deck,but isn't the cartidge which generates the wave?btw i have a shure.

Guest soliptic Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 the english is "feedback" it is caused when a sound enters (eg) a mic, is amplifed, and then the sound from the speakers enters the mic, and so on, making an endless circle. solution:: stop the mic from picking up what comes out of the speakers. in this case the "mic" is actually the needle - yes, you're right, its the cartridge, the type of deck itself should be irrelevant. moving the decks well behind the speakers is the first step towards killing feedback from your needles -- with speakers pointing totally AWAY from the needles. sometimes the problem is worse if the decks vibrate (from the low bass) so try also putting them on some foam or something soft if you still feedback you're only hope is proper sound engineering knowledge - EQ notches, frequency shifter, shit like that.

Guest sporadik Posted May 28, 2003 Posted May 28, 2003 hahah... Microphonia... what a catchy word.. especially when said with a thick eastern european accent. Quote
