Strange Gig

Today, I played at a nursing home I’ve played at for years...Genos and two S1 Pros on stands. Usually we are in the back of a worship center...low ceilings and carpet.

Today, they had me in a hall, solid floors, brick walls and cathedral ceiling. Before the gig, I put on some styles..went out to listen. Bass sounded boomy up close but quickly dropped off out a few feet.

During the gig, sound, to me, seemed to be bouncing off walls. Folks I knew in the crowd said the sound was good during the gig.

Still, it was hard for me to relax as it didn’t sound quite right. If I get put into that situation again, think I’ll go with the Eon One.

What dropped off - the boom or the overall volume? Sometime we tend to base out thoughts on sound systems upon conventional systems we used in the past, which is a bit mistake, IMO.

If you have narural reverb, wouldnt it help to tow down onboard reverb settings?

always use the JBL so flexible for any situation..

The boomy sound dropped off. Volume was apparently good.

YES, YES, YES!!!! Sound Design 101.

Sounds like too much setting up for a 1hour gig. Two speakers and stands ? Just go with the Eon One,I bet will work great inboth situations

Ditto Billy...let years of experience as an entertainer provide all you need to set up your sound in ANY situation..every gig room is different in many ways ....good luck buddy

Sounds like speaker position - could have been too close to back walls.

Tx all for the thoughts.
