[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 141335, member: 211"] Re: First show smashing success; need help with bigger show In a bar scenario, louder is not always better. I like to set bar rigs to peak at 98db at the loudest point in the room. Louder than that, and people can't talk. If people can't talk, they don't stick around and spend money on drinks. If people don't spend money on drinks, the event is a failure. Now, as far as jumping from a bar gig with 50 people to a corporate event with 1000 people, that's a completely different matter. No, it's not going to be the same thing at all. You're dealing with a MUCH larger space as well as many many more people. Of course, the entertainment for the event may not be targeted towards the full crowd of 1000 people at once, so you have to really figure out their needs before quoting the job. Some corporate events just want background entertainment in a corner of the event. However, they may want the PA to be able to address the entire crowd, so it will need to be sized accordingly. As stated by others, hire this one out. You should be able to find a sound company that you can hire to do the job and pass the cost along to the client, making a few dollars for your efforts. If you plan to grow your business, make sure the company you hire is representing YOU and doesn't just come along and steal the job from the client. Yes, there are some companies that will do that sort of thing. [/QUOTE]
