[QUOTE="Phil Moseley, post: 89540, member: 4384"] Re: Advice for dealing with singers who wander out in front of the PA Hi Thanks for all the positive support guys. I don't run a stereo PA, so the pan idea won't work. She owns her own wireless, so I can't tell her it's broken (although I suppose the receiver could be!). I have some Sennheisers, but they are wired, so... Couple of you remarked on the gate/compressor use.
