But other times, it can be an audio nightmare – the loudspeakers are belching pure feedback, the folks up front are sustaining permanent ear damage while those in back only hear only mud, the minister and/or music director are not pleased, and you’re in the hot seat.

I learned a lot from reading this article. I just entered the sound mini of Stagecraft and this article was informationally insightful as well as easy to read. I think people often forget that the smallest adjustment to equipment can make all the difference. Whether its for a performance at a church or a concert, the advice this article provides is useful for all people who do/need to know about sound. I never knew that loudspeakers should be hung to disperse high frequency sounds, or that microphones have a directional patterns. These little details that I’ve done unknowingly for some performances at CMU (I got to hang a sound arracy for A Bright Room Called Day) are basics that I might have already done, but it’s good to know it’s an actual rule of sound. I also think that placing loudspeakers in front of performers is something we do inherently at CMU and now that I know it’s an inherent rule, it makes so much more sense.
