Informational Blog about Sound, Staging and Lighting

We setup a live sound system for the "Born Free Motorcycle Club", for their 5,000-person event June 24th, 2011 at the Oak Canyon Ranch in Silverado Canyon. we quickly figured out that remote speakers were going to be necessary to get the Emcee's announcements heard all over the grounds, and behind the main stage. When running remote speakers, it is important to realize that because analog signals travel slow down copper wiring, there will be a time delay. These delays are corrected by using a speaker preprocessor that allows an engineer to configure the distance from each speaker to the listening position. The mathematical delay calculations are then performed by preprocessor.
