[QUOTE="Stuart Høgg, post: 26365, member: 148"] Re: Purpose of having a small array facing the stage?... I remember hearing one monitor engineer explain how he got around this problem (for an A-list act). What he did was add delay to the lead singer's wedge, so that the arrival from the wedge was time aligned with the arrival from the sidefills. The first time he tried it, the singer acknowledged that it was a vast improvement, but complained that "it sounds like everything is coming out the wedge in front, I don't feel like I have my band round about me". The solution was to use two auxes, one with only the singers vocal and guitar, and the other with the rest of the band. The first aux was delayed to match the sidefills, and the band mix wasn't. The two mixes were then combined (via a matrix feed) to derive the feed to the wedge. This way he got the best of both worlds. [/QUOTE]
