I have recently been employed by a new venue, I have been tasked on trying to fix the sound system. I have to admit I have never come across a system like this before. I have spent a few weeks scratching my head and have made it through the major shows for this time of year, however I would like to get a better handle on this system while i have some down time.
This is what is in the Sound System
Inputs
Mac Qlab which sends out through Firewire to a Harmony Mobile Interface 8 Outs Each out goes into a separate channel on the board
8 ins 4 out Snake
And a Yamaha MG 206C Sound Board that all of the wireless miss are connected to then is connected to the main controller
Main Controller is a Soundcraft Spirt 324 Live Digital Mixer ( I think) This is my first digital board
Each of the 8 Channels of the Mobile Interface are set to a different output
There are 4 Wharfedale MP1800 AMPs one is Phased reversed that each of the 8 Outputs go to.
Some how though there is also a RCF digital Mixer and a 8 Channel Soundcraft Digital Mic Line Interface Both Rack mounted above the amps, I cannot figure out how they are connected into this system however if they are not on it does not work.
There are 8 Speakers Connected through Speak on Cable from a make shift patch array at the board that has cables running all over the place on the floor and through the electrics. Same manufacture as the Amps at most I can only get 1/2 working and have been told that they are at the end of their functional life
Right now I am looking for help in understanding the system and maybe a way of cleaning it up and getting it functioning better for the short term however Ultimately I am hoping also for some suggestions on upgrades or different equipment to help streamline the system
Primary Use is a theatre, It is a black box and in theory the speakers are meant to be moved and reconfigured as the space is reconfigured. this however does not seem to be the practice.
Need the ability to control sound to different outputs (mostly sound effects)
Reinforcement vocally for Musicals
Vocal reinforcement for vocalist in music concerts
Music for Dance performances, ( they tend to like it loud and lots of bass) I am trying to figure out how to add a sub into this system
Secondary
Showing films with audio
