151. Making The Best Of A Bad System

In Episode 151, the hosts discuss how to make the best out of a bad PA system. Sometimes it’s simply adjusting the EQ, other times it’s moving the loudspeakers — the hosts go through the physics and basic loudspeaker principles that might be causing system problems, along with some additional tricks and tips along the way. The Church Sound Podcast is sponsored by DiGiCo and Shure.
