Thanks for the clarification! I know the system was replaced two years ago. I swear Chris told me they were Vertecs. Maybe that was the old system. Please comment if you know. Thanks!
getting ready to setup a system for our high school band. do you ever have any feedback issues with the mics that close to cabinet? i’m learning as i go, so any advice would be awesome thanks
HI Eric, yes, acoustic feedback from mics in proximity to the speaker is always a problem. In this case, I am using a "mix-minus" approach. Each speaker stack is a zone, and using bus routing, the mics closest to a zone are subtracted from the mix that is sent to that zone.
@@eross21 That's correct. It takes quite a bit of time to bring all mics up to max gain while feeding all the zones and creating a workable mix that sounds good from all zones and seats. You'll also need to create a mono sum of everything that you can use for the upper levels and TVs.
Loving these on-site video's Ric. This gig looks very challenging. Thank you for sharing the details. So much to consider regarding this venue. Wow!!!
Another illuminating video, thanks Ric.
Really interesting video Ric, Cool to see how you guys went about doing this!

The house speakers are JBL but not Vertecs actually. Those are the VLA cabinets. Kind of a hybrid with horn loaded mids and highs.

@@gigbutt so if i understand correctly , you send each mic feed to a different zone so that the mic tone doesn’t create a feedback loop?
@@gigbutt also, you have the mics setup in a crossed over shape. what advantage does this help with? is it a phasing issue?

@@eross21 I think you're referring to XY mic technique. Review XY technique for stereo field imaging for more information.
