Microphones

Does the quality of a microphone have anything to do with the amount of feedback you get?

A visit from another KJ tonight has me asking this question.

He said why don't you get a lot of feedback? We never talked about the quality of his microphones, but he asked what I was using.

Has anyone upgraded and noticed less feedback in the same rooms?

Sure. Better mics have a more defined pattern to reject off axis sound. Plus, most will have better internal shockmounting which helps too.

I have noticed a lot less feedback since switching to my AKG's. One has to point the thing into the speaker.
