On Saturday the 12th of December we got back in to the venue we are performing in as there was a event in the venue the day before. We stripped the whole venue with all of the cables as well as lighting and sound.
As we already knew where all of the equipment had to go it was a case of plugging it all back in as opposed to deciding where it should all go. It was very easy to put all the speakers back in as we knew how many cables we had and what cables needed to be connected to where.
Once we setup the speaker stacks we then setup the seating. Once the seating we setup we played some music through the stacks with the monitors to see what they sounded like. While we weren’t playing music I noticed there was a mains hum. This was caused by the monitors so instead of using the 2 active wedges we are now using the original plan of using the active QTX monitors.
As we are short on cables I am not able to do my idea of the back fills using the QTX’s but I am still able to use the subs. The subs are positioned at the back of the sico where we are thinking they would cause alot of rattle but they only do when they are producing certain frequencies. So I am mindful for when I am planning to the levels of all the songs.
