[QUOTE="Jason Raboin, post: 42048, member: 524"] Re: Array Deployment Question I try to cover every seat in the venue, regardless of whether or not it is sold. The reason is that I learned my lesson the hard way by listening to promoters and venue staff who tell me that a section isn't sold, not covered it, and then had people end up sitting there. If, at the start of the concert a section is empty, I would shut off that zone of PA. I probably wouldn't do that with a line array though, as the whole system response would change. Perhaps in an arena with 12-16 per side I would turn off the top two or three boxes if the potential gain of not having extra energy bouncing around would outweigh the issues by having a system whose performance might change from how it sounded at sound check.
