Hey CB, first time poster, long, LONG time reader, so be easy on me!
I am the selected Sound Designer and Board Operator for a showing of Legally Blonde. We are running 24 Wireless Microphones in a very tiny, cramped black box theatre, and we have always had to battle feedback issues. We seat about 150 people, the playing space is largely a 20x20 platform in the middle, and the six speakers hang directly above it pointing around to the audience, which is situated in a U shape around the platform.
How can I defeat the feedback monster here, and keep the sound, well, good? We run with an LS9, a board that I am very accustomed to, but EQ and I have never really gotten along. I find that, even though I EQ one microphone and get it sounding great, as soon as I throw in another, or god forbid we add the orchestra, feedback occurs.
What can I do (besides moving the speakers) to fix this issue?
I'd greatly appreciate any links to other media or documents I could read that may help me understand it better as well. Thank you!
