One cause of feedback is open microphones on the stage. You can use the '''Noise Gate''' in your ToneMatch mixer to shut down microphones that are not being used. When the sound presented to the microphone is loud enough (it reaches a predefined threshold), the gate will open allowing sound through. | One cause of feedback is open microphones on the stage.

:Rotate the Ramp control to adjust the slope of the gate from 0% (horizontal) to 100% (vertical). The Ramp parameter is the slope of the opening gate allowing signal through. It can be thought of and perceived through time. A steep ramp (100%) will open quick and aggressively, while a shallow ramp (0%) opens slow and more gradually. This is different from Speed which affects how quickly the gate clamps down after the signal has passed. | :Rotate the Ramp control to adjust the slope of the gate from 0% (horizontal) to 100% (vertical).
