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. Actually, this approach works better with a typical [[FOH]] system as everyone in the audience is much more aware of the system they are closer to (it's louder), due to the ubiquitous inverse-square law of sound radiation (loud up close, quiet far away). 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. | ||
