• 1. Lower Mic Gain

    • On the X32, select the channel with the mic.

    • Press the "SELECT" button for that channel.

    • Use the gain knob (top-left) to reduce the preamp gain. Too much gain = higher chance of feedback.

    2. Use EQ to Notch Problem Frequencies

    • Select the mic channel.

    • Press "SELECT", then go to the EQ section.

    • Sweep the mid-frequency band (narrow Q) and lower the gain to cut the problem frequency.

    • Use RTA (Real-Time Analyzer) on the X32 to identify feedback peaks quickly.

    3. Use a High-Pass Filter (HPF)

    • On the mic channel, enable the HPF to cut low-end rumble that can cause low-frequency feedback.

    4. Check Speaker and Mic Placement

    • Keep microphones behind speakers or monitors, never pointing at them.

    • Use directional mics (like cardioid) and aim null points toward the monitors

  • Applying Effects (FX):

    1. Select channel with “Select” button.

    2. Use “Sends on Fader” and adjust FX faders.

  • Fixing Mic/Instrument Dropouts:

    ·       - Check the Gate:

    1. Select the channel > Gate tab.

    2. Adjust “Threshold” left to open the gate and stop cutting.

    ·       - Check cables: Replace bad XLR or ¼” cables if needed.
