Hi everyone, I work as the sound guy (FOH) for our highschool theater.
Our auditorium holds 500 people and I'm having issues with monitor placement.
Normally I put 2 wedges on the floor in front of stage but with 16 AKG wms 400/450's on it gets really loud.
The only thing coming thru monitors is CD accom music, no actors.
I have to keep it loud so the actors don't get lost. The problem is that the mics pick up the music and doubles the house mix. (way to loud)
How do the pros do it?
Can I fly monitors to help reduce this?
Thanks for your help.
