Introducing Performers to the Bose System: Difference between revisions

But before getting into a lot of detail, I just get the gain staging setup in the conventional way. (all volume controls on the remote at zero). This is the time to set the presets for people who have brought their own mics. While I'm doing that I'll point out that all the sound is coming from the Bose systems and that there will be no need for monitors or a separate house mix. Everyone: The performers and the audience will be listening to the same sound source.  You can't make that point enough, emphasizing that what you hear on stage is what the audience hears.  If you can't hear the vocals, turn down.  If it's your solo, be above the rest of the band.  You can explain that it's like mixing an album live.  Or, that it's like an old school acoustic jam but much louder.
