Re: CompressionSince it is good practice anyway to delay the signals in the pa to align with sound coming off the stage, the distance from your source to the pa kind of defines the available processing time. This is particularly true for smaller venues where the ratio between stage sound and pa sound is small enough to make a difference to the quality of what you hear out in the audience. With floor stacks in front of the stage, the available processing time could easily be 10-15 mS at front of stage and as much as 50 mS for the backline and drums. With some smaller mobile stages and small format arrays hanging more or less in line with the stage lip, the scope can be far less.
