Is the person setting up and running the system someone who does sound or are they a sound engineer?
Many times a person hired to run sound at a great rate realizes that maybe their system isn’t big enough for the event. So they borrow another one or dig out their old/spare/smaller system. And then they set them both up thinking the sound is going to add up and be louder.
But unless those speakers are matched and designed to work together. Half the time one speaker is going to push while the other is pulling and they will cancel each other out. I won’t get into all the technical details about “phasing” and “comb-filtering”. The result is a production that doesn’t sound as good as it would with only one set of speakers.
The system just won’t be capable of reproducing quality sound for the majority of the audience.
Stay tuned for more tips on how to evaluate the quality of the sound system you hired.
