First outing was a VERY hard to please person. Well known for slagging off PA systems, sound ops and all things audio. He spotted the boxes dangling. Demanded a mic, said about ten words - and said (for the first time ever) sounds nice. The show was also shot for video - going out in three weeks, and at the end, he took me out for a drink. First time since working for him in 1984.


The only thing is that the auditorium is nearly 40 rows of seats deep - and not high and while at the mix position it sounds nice, the volume drop off is quite large. We need to get used to what the level is like nearer the front. We really could do with some extra after about row 28 or so - but the height to the ceiling there is even less and there are no possible speaker mounting points - the ceiling panels are asbestos - and drilling and fixing to or through them is banned. I guess we have to live with this anomaly.
