[QUOTE="Craig Hauber, post: 84018, member: 272"] Re: PK Sound One of things I'm coming to terms with in the club EDM system design/install business is that it seems a good EDM rig should almost be considered "backline" In that it is more about the rig's tone and feel than it is about accuracy. I can specify and install the best large "varsity-level" rigs (V-Dosc, Meyer, D&B etc.) to manufacturer 'spec and the DJ's and producers are 'dissing it. Yet the rigs they praise -and I make a point to go listen to (Funktion One, Void, EAW Avalon) are utterly useless when trying to get a good vocal sound and band-mix through it. This is something I struggle with often and seems to bring that "I'm getting too old for this" thought creeping into the back of my mind. I do my best to not succumb to this and try to deliver the best of all worlds to the benefit of the owners, operators and the performers. This is not to say that the brands I listed above are garbage, just that like anything else they can be installed wrong and in the EDM industry where everything is so focused on a product's [B]name[/B] and not the users that manage it this can reflect very badly on a manufacturer. And it's just not the EDM industry, I just think it's funny that we spend much time on this board stating that it's the "guy behind the desk" that's the primary reason for bad sound, yet as soon as somebody sees one show that sounds bad we all automatically blame the logo on the cabinets! (and every installation worldwide of the same company's product must therefore also be crap!) -I'll admit I find myself following that train-of-thought often myself (and have to go do pay penance by sitting through 2 hours at a local karaoke bar or something!) I actually repaired an owner's system by peeling [B]off[/B] the EV logos on the dance floor cabinets. The big-city guest DJ's bitched and whined incessantly about his inadequate sound-system. Hasn't had any complaints since and he's won "best dance club" by the local rag for the last 5 years! [/QUOTE]
