[QUOTE="ToddBuckner, post: 4838, member: 302"] This is a reasonably serious question as I have been asked to mike the cannons at a Army post for the 4th of July fireworks display. I am having trouble keeping a straight face on this one but I have composed myself and I figured I would throw it out here and see what pops up !! FYI... these are big and really loud cannons.... I am thinking ear plugs when they fire because they are so percussive. This is a pretty large event on a huge Army post. There will be 15K plus people in attendance. We have a 10 hanging a side Vdosc rig w/16 subs at the stage and then delay towers with 8 KF730 in each tower. Full Army orchestra completely miked up and playing traditional marches and patriotic stuff with the cannons firing as part of the program. The cannons sit about 100 yards beside the stage. The system will rock the orchestra pretty impressively and actually drown out the cannons to a degree ( however they are still really loud ! ). We already battle serious time alignment issues in syncing the orchestra and the cannons. It is hard to have a discussion with the powers that be about anything as there are about 20 people in charge all scared to not be a "yes man " . Anyone who has ever worked on Army post type shows knows what I am dealing with here. [/QUOTE]
