[QUOTE="Kevin Boreing, post: 51338, member: 1659"] Re: From small second stage to main stage? Lots of good info for me to look at so far, thanks! I'll clarify some things by saying I am experienced in running systems with larger systems and consoles such as the Allen and Heath i-Live but not so experienced in putting together full systems the standard and proper ways. The type of festivals I would be interested in probably would run 200 people or so at the stage and then others walking around. So not a 1000 seat booked event, it would be more the weekend church festivals or community festivals on smaller stages with around 1000 in attendance listening while walking around. My console is another thing I'm going to be upgrading as well, I just want to make sure I have whats needed available for some of the larger than bar type local events in terms of coverage and volume, understanding that it's more than just speakers needed. The rest for small events I have mostly covered in a 24 channel 100 foot snake, mics, cables, lights, etc. Typical small event gear, although in the past it did all run a 400 person 3 day music festival with satisfactory but not outstanding results. I see mentioned the SRX model JBL as an option for these types of event, or maybe even doubling up a few PRX models like I currently have in the 615's for the tops. In doing some research, it seems like these would be hard to pair side by side as their pattern is about 90 degrees. Would this not lead to some pretty harsh comb filtering or having to splay them really far away of an angle? Would something such as a DBX driverack or other processor help in this if i'm going to be going the route of doubling up per side some smaller/lower end speakers? I know these are newbie questions to those which more more experience, but I'm hoping to take myself from knowing what I want to hear in getting a good mix and having to play with it until my ear is happy to being able to do it consistently and correctly every time. Step one is to pick the brains of those who are more there than I! [/QUOTE]
