Your Sound System Makes or Breaks You

All instruments can sound excellent using their built-in sound system in an intimate setting, but the technology is out there to give you that extra boost, extra warmth, and extra rich sound. When looking for a great PA system to amplify your presence in a room or outside, it must have the wattage required to support the loudness coming from your instruments and the fine controls to keep the stereo balance and equalizer just right. A Yamaha StagePas system is my choice for a general, excellent quality system. You can leave the mixer/amplifier board inside the back of the speaker or take it out and mount it remotely for easy access during performances. A sound check before the first song is a must. The balance may sound good from the stage, but a good rule of thumb is to stand about 10 rows back in the audience and make your adjustments based on that point. Stereo speakers must be placed wide enough apart to avoid frequency cancellation and faced inward on a slight angle to give the listener the feeling of being "inside" the sound!
