[QUOTE="Dic Gleason, post: 215127, member: 13753"] You have a bunch of 15" speakers trying to reproduce your mid-range frequencies. The 2-way cabinets you have are asking a lot for a 15" speaker. If there is the budget, get a good mid-level 2-way with a 12" (or smaller) woofer. with the subs you have a 3-way system treat it as such. (QSC, RCF, ISP) Use the Hi-pass filters on the console to stop the lower frequencies from sources that don't use them (Vocals, guitars,) That will help clean up a lot of junk that can get in your way looking for a clean mix. Heavier curtains on the windows and some vertical panels hanging from the ceiling will help break up any standing wave issues you might be having. (The vertical panels can have bible verses in them Smaller versions of what is behind the stage will work and look nice) As others have said compare to a recording you like the sound of. Spend the money to have someone QUALIFIED come check your system and eq settings. If you have the current firmware you can try this using the RTA feature on your console and do it yourself. Make sure your speakers are in alignment. (Had a touring pro align the subs with the mains in my venue (his touring rig) and the mix jumped out as soon as the speakers were aligned. It sounded good before he did it but it just popped when they came into time-alignment.) Good luck [/QUOTE]
