In this video, I take you behind the scenes as we set up a full PA system for a high school speech event with an audience of about 1000 students in a gymnasium. This was definitely a bigger event than we usually handle — and yes, the client knew that going in — but we pulled it off and made it work better than last year’s setup!
Despite a few challenges, the sound coverage was solid, the mics held strong, and the feedback was minimal. If you're into live sound, school events, or just curious how to run sound in a giant echo-y gym, check this out.
