Hi all,
I am heading up sound (and projection - we won't go into that!) for a youth event in a church hall next weekend.
Now, suprisingly the acoustics are fine and not the problem here - probably due to the massively thick curtains we have!
The question is...where to put the speakers.
For reasons of making it sound decent, as I'm sure you will agree, I want to run the event in Stereo not Mono. Problem is where can I put the speakers. After speaking to a sound-tech at my theatre, he also advised not to put speakers behind inputs (i.e. the band) which I compltely agree with as I've seen this done before..didn't end well!
The band will span the width of the stage (in front of the stage as the stage will have rear-projection running on it) and so the speakers have no where to go really!
There will also be an *active* game (this cannot be stopped) so I'd be reluctant to put the powered speakers (heavy) on tripods in front of the band.
I could have put my band mix through the in house speakers mounted high up on the wall (they have a pretty decent sound) however the mixer doesn't have panning so would be mono!!
What's your suggestion?
Many thanks in advance,
TechieTim
