This particular setup is deeply ingrained in the amplified music culture as the Way We All Do Things, i.e., a PA is always set up on either side of the artists{s}, always has been. That's how we do it.

And, of course, the problems associated with this approach are discussed in endless detail throughout this forum (bleeding ears, disconnected sight/sound of the performance, nobody onstage knows how they sound in the audience, etc). | This particular setup is deeply ingrained in the amplified music culture as the Way We All Do Things, i.e., a PA is always set up on either side of the artists{s}, always has been.

I thought I was being clever by trying to position everyone in the mix using the pan pots. Notice the indicators on the mixer. | I thought I was being clever by trying to position everyone in the mix using the pan pots. Notice the indicators on the mixer. | ||
