Re: PA Setup QuestionWhich is something the OP can do too.For soundcheck turn the mains gain down a bit, and spin the FOH cabinets back to face the band.Get it sounding as good as you can, spin the cabinets back around to face the audience, and bring the gain back up.It's not ideal, but at least you'll get an idea of what the boxes sound like with the band playing through them. Any serious problems should be obvious with the speakers pointing at you.GTD
