Hey all,
Im more in the Lighting field, but im doing some research for my place of work, University level. Our current FOH booth isn't ideal for audio. We are in a projection booth that sits in an enclosed room behind the audience about 4' off the ground, and underneath an overhang from the balcony above. Theres a 6' wide x 4' tall opening in the wall facing the stage so that sound and lights can see and hear.
Currently running an X32 (hope to move to a m32 soon) with some studio monitors and a headset in the booth so the operator can listen in. Our current approach is to mix as best we can in the booth, and then hop out into the house to fine tune via an ipad. For longer running or higher profile productions, we put audio at a temp tech table to get the mix down, but still run the show from our booth.
So, down to brass tax. Our orchestra audience seating is split into 3 sections, about 150 on the left and right and 175 in the center section. Do you think it would be better to make a permanent FOH position for audio that is in the back left corner of the center audience, slightly underneath the balcony overhang than our current situation?
I understand it would be best to have them center, not under the overhang. But that is currently not possible for a number of reason (too many seats to take out to make possible)
Thanks all
