[QUOTE="Steve Kirby, post: 140325, member: 9411"] Re: Vibraphone in monitor You don't have to put a full on shield in front of the drummer. Even though that might be optimum. Sometimes just having something along the line of sight takes care of it. I have a small plexi shield that goes in front of a guitar amp. It was made to come halfway up the top speaker on my vertical 2-12 cabinet. Some direct sound gets over it, but it keeps people right in front from getting blasted. Also throws sound up and makes it easier for the player to hear. I've used it with a few different people. Have also used in in front of drummers who tilt the snare way back so that the audience gets hit with the snare/bottom head sound. It just takes up enough space next to the kick to knock down that bottom snare without making the drummer feel like they're playing right into a concrete wall. I've also used it alongside a guitar amp to keep the sound over to one side and away from singers in the middle. Sometimes an amp or a road case can serve as a gobo to keep sound from one spot from bleeding excessively to another. In a pinch, I've used a rectangular guitar case stood on end open and folded slightly to keep it upright. The fur inside does a pretty good job of knocking down an overly loud amp or drum from something next to it. [/QUOTE]
