I don't think you realise HOW impactful these three videos are. Eyeopener. Thank you Michael and Michael.

[nickevansaudio]

Wow! What an incredible 3 part series! Learnt soooo much! Thanks both for your time and energy to put this together and share!!

[thomasschneeloch]

My boss taught me a very valuable lesson about 15 years ago. He said the two most important jobs in his opinion are the system tech and monitor engineer and went on to say that system tech wins in his opinion. We all love being out front but these are two very key positions make any show no matter how big or small successful. Thank you for the valuable information and I always look forward to your videos.

This three-part series have taught me so much more than I’ve learnt prior to these videos. Thanks Guys. This is fantastic.

A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO YOU BOTH!!!! I really appreciate you guys making the time to do this series. Absolutely fascinating and well done. I think for me the biggest eye opener was rolling off the bottom frequency area of the side fills and see how that lower region of the frequency spectrum gets filled in when you add back the mains and subs.

So much respect to the System techs and sound is alot of work..

[nmawutor]

Lesson learnt..doing a good work on Part 1 & 2, part 3 is verification of how efficient your design is... And not using "Smaart" to solve what Part 1 & 2 could have solved.... Amazing Series Michael and Michael....

[gavmurray]

this video is amazing. I did a workshop wth Bob many moons ago this is a great refresher and update thanks for the share great stuff!

[adrieltahisi]

Learning a lot from your videos Michael. Valuable and practical infor indeed

[MintyAndee]

Was sent here through a discord link and even though I know nothing about audio, throughly enjoyed learning a little more from this series! c:

[HughStolmer]

This is great info and practical for any system.

[markemerson]

thanks guys, very helpful tips. I liked your discussion of side fills and low end, makes sense!

[audioquest]

Thanks Michael Curtis. Much appreciated

[ibrahimmgonja]

Thank you Michael you are real helping me so much ...God Bless you

[anthonyanzalone]

Again, such great info. Another master class. Thank you for sharing all this knowledge.

[ibrahimmgonja]

And thanks I have manage to buy a book will read more!!🙏

[TNFRR]

Thank you for this video series. Very insightful and informative. Do you happen to know what make and model of wireless units Michael is using with his reference mics?

[simonacoustics]

My aha moment was using multiple processors to feed into each other, rather than one processor into amps. (Admittedly, the system was Meyer, so maybe there's not processing onboard the powered speakers themselves?) From Part 2 of 3

[jthunderbass]

This is such great information, but kinda useless for my gig because it’s never a PA. The production prioritize getting the gear in the air, not deploying it correctly. They just throw it up and hope for the best.

[khosazonyekha]

Thank you Michael,
Want to know how the congregation or audience can change the room acoustic and which frequency ranges do they effect.
Thank you
