Members Telecruiser Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 Last night the wife and I attended a college graduation for our daughter in law. Big stage and big video screen. They were running eight JBL VTX V25's per side. Impressive sound. I went to see what kind of gear the FOH engineer was using and was surprised to see a little Soundcraft eight channel mixer and that was it. It was all that was needed as it was just one voice mic and some ceremonial music at the end. Just looked out of proportion to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members agedhorse Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 I used to do something similar, large line array and a crest xr-20. Long, miserable, boring days. Good pay if you don't whore the job out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was outdoors with about 3000 attending but that seemed to be a lot of rig for that gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted May 20, 2013 CMS Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 My older daughter graduated Saturday. Amazing fact: when it's your kid, you actually may not spend most of the time checking out the sound rig. I'm aware it was a four-hang of what was probably VTX, but that's about all I really looked at.I know, I know, I'm slipping..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Axisplayer Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 Craig, everyone knows that a true "old sound man" would be looking at gear and later saying "Wait a minute! My daughter was there?" ;-) Congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
