Reply To: Stage volume affecting FOH mix

[strat]

I have a similar situation .. I work for an oldies band, My wedges are dual 12’s bi-amped .. I was in a room with 1200 people, The monitors were so loud that I could of turned off F.O.H. and just did the show on monitor volume .. Some people just do not have a clue what is involved to put on a good show, I told the band that they had to come down in the monitors because if I increased volume at F.O.H. to overcome the monitor volume, most people(their audience age group is 60-85) would have left the room. No matter how much I tell them, it still happens at every show ..Good luck Gilly.
