Re: Stereo floor monitor for vocalists?

I guess I should answer the question about ever running stereo wedges before. Yes, I have many times and that is why I answered the way I did. The only time it really worked as a positive, in my opinon, was with the keyboard player of a national southern rock band I used to run monitors for occasionally. We ran the keys stereo and split the 2 guitars hard left and hard right and put a little kik and snare in as well. He was on the extreme stage right facing toward the center of the stage and the set up really put him in the middle of the music. Every other time I have set up a stereo pair I have always ended up running both sides the same and using the guidelines of my first post. It has always come down to the vocalist being able to hear himself or herself with the drums and all of the amplified instruments playing on stage. Believe me I like to experiment and try new things but my first post is the result of 30 years of those experiments. Just my opinion for what it is worth. I hope they go for the in ear set up but if they don't I hope my information will be useful to you. Good luck! Eric
