I have continual feedback problems with my shaker mic.  Seems
like I can't get it above the second notch on the volume control
without it howling unless I get too far away to hear it above the
stage volume.

Do I need to:
	cup it differently (more airtight),
	play harder,
	or get the rest of the band to turn down?

Any suggestions?
