[QUOTE="Scarlett Rose, post: 218136, member: 16560"] OK so aside from sound I also play in my own band. And we played last night a small place with a house QSC system, unfortuitly the mixer is on stage and we were not allowed to bring in our console and snake. So I was turning dials while our normal soundman was telling me what needed up/down tinny/bassy etc... trying to get a passable mix. Anyhow this guy who played in a popular local band 30+ years back is harassing us the whole time about sound.(and continued harassing all night about anything he could think of). Anyhow this got me curious so I looked him up and found old band photos and of course zoomed in on the PA systems LOL. Was it common place for local bands in bigger venues to grab every mismatched speaker cab on earth and stack it all up?? One photo has mismatched mid horns and high horns with 5x 18" scoops aside(crome dust caps I asume JBL or Guass), but I only see two Crown DC300A's in the rack on the side of it. And another at a field days has an 8ft high wall of about 8 differant cabs from what I can see. looks like maybe a JBL 4520 with a couple other odd ball subs with what looks like a couple Peavey 15 and horn FR cabs with a giant High horn atop that, and other cabs that I cant see in the shadows. Maybe Im wrong but wouldn't it be better to cover the dance floor in concert quality sound, than to fill the room with high volume phase cancelation and comb filtering? I mean unless each set of cabs is covering a certain instrument or group, but I dont see that many amps. [/QUOTE]
