The pipe which held the "collector head" (microphone) can be seen in front of the structure. An acoustic mirror is a passive device used to reflect and focus (concentrate) sound waves .

[1]: 118 Audio feedback (also known as acoustic feedback, simply as feedback) is a positive feedback situation that may occur when an acoustic path exists between an audio output (for example, a loudspeaker) and its audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup).
