[QUOTE="Dale Christenson, post: 40499, member: 221"] Re: 17pc orchestra inside hangar Just updating this thread with what happened last night. I took all of the suggestions above and it sounded just spectacular! I did have to watch the volume, however. The event was for a local air transport company to show off their new larger jet. The mercedes dealer, a motor coach company, a boat mfgr, and some other companies were there to highlight their new stuff as well. The event guests turned out in good numbers. So, there was a lot of trying to sell stuff. Hence the volume. The band was mostly background music. The hangar did have insulation on the walls and ceiling so there was little reverberation through the room. Sax section (5 players) on the first tier with the piano player and vocalist(s). The next tier was the upright bass and 4 trombones. The next tier was the drummer and 4 trumpets. The bottom tier was about 4' and they game me sound wings for the speakers. The "wing" was a 4x4 extension off the stage. We had a fiber optic curtain backdrop that went up to the 30' level, or thereabouts. FOH was tucked behind the SL speaker stack. Consisted of an allen heath 24 channel and my studiolive 16. I miced up all the orchestra instruments into the AH console. The drums, bass, piano, vocals, and L+R from the AH went into the SL16. The drummer, bass player, piano player, and vocalists had monitor mixes. I gave a mix to the orchestra like Milt suggested, and they absolutely loved it. Had a MRX515 on each of the two top tiers. The thing they wanted most, aside from the vocal, was hi hat. Even though the bassist was 5' from the drummer, the drummer wanted bass in the monitor. He commented on how good the monitor was and that it was one of the only times where he could hear the bass. Since the stacks were about 25' apart, so I put a couple of JRX112 monitors in front of the stage off the SL16's mono output and added volume to just hear it and wow, what a difference. I stood about 60' out with the iPad, and smiled most of the night. Thanks for all the help. :grin: [/QUOTE]
