A lot of people don't relies how much work a sound engineer has, hours before the gig and hours after the gig to get all the equipment set up and tear down at the end of the night . Just a small system like this one 16 or 24 channel board is a lot of work after set up you have sound check every thing to make sure all of it working ... cuddles to all sound engineers out there ...
First in, last out, and often the unsung hero.
Thank you for your comment!
Someone Give this person a medal

Awesome job, Bob and KC! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you Charlie! We had a great time working your show!
I'm glad that you are safe and sound from hurricane Helene and hopefully you didn't get too much damage from it.
Thank you!
U2 covering the cure.. love it😂😂😂.. great job as always
@djrickysmith one:40 does 2 sets of U2 and a variety set including a 4 song block of The Cure, fun stuff!
Great video!

I like the ramp what brand is and where i can find it?
It is from a company called EZ-Access.

Thanks for filming all this! I learned some stuff! Wondering if the one double 18 sub was enough? (I know there's limitations like budget, manpower, and space in the van). Also, I always wonder how you safely run cable from the stage to the FOH so attendees will not trip and fall. How do you guys handle that?
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, the double 18 was more than enough for this event; in fact during sound-check, we had to bring down the kick-drum and bass due to the volume level. Also, with the double 18 sitting in the center, this provided coverage over the entire listening area.
Good question on the cable runs between the stage and FOH. On hard surfaces (i.e. parking lots, exhibition halls, etc...), we use either rubber cable covers (with black/yellow tape for visibility), or heavy rubber cable conduits (black w/yellow covers). For outdoor events (i.e. in this video), we run a yellow power cable next to the snake cable. It's the yellow power cable that provides the visibility for safety.
Nice decision having the digital console and analog multi
Thanks. Most of our shows are configured that way. We will use a digital snake solution, but only for certain events.
here's me as a DJ getting shut of the subs in my 40s because of the weight and noise complaints.
im currently trying to cram an 8 channel mixer, mic receiverx2, IEM transmitter, sound card, 10 inch monitor, cabling and power strip in to what I think was a Guitar pedal case. All to save carry big heavy boxes. especially to plug and play venues. Lots of UK venues you can't even park close to for unloading.
Sounds like a lot of work to reduce the number of cases to bring in to a show!
@@stageleftaudio I used to play with cardboard boxes as a kid. So, I must be harking back to my childhood with plywood boxes instead. ?
👍✅ I get some good ideas from every one of your videos, tks👏
Happy to hear to that!
So why use an outboard Driverack instead of using the digital console/matrices as your system controller? Thanks for the video and ramp recommendation!
It's a shame Crown discontinued those non-DSP macro tech-I amps; the ones with the DSP cost a fortune. Great job with the PA system, as usual. Do you mind sharing which Tannoy speakers you use?
Thanks for your comments. Actually, the Crown amps we use have DSP on them, however, the DSP is only configurable using a laptop. This may be a problem for some users, but for us, our Crown amps are only used for sub use, therefore, the DSP is configured on them once and we don't need to touch them again. We use the Tannoy VS218DR subs for some events.
Sangat keren sekali...salam dari saya di jakarta
Terima kasih dari Amerika!
Now that the berhinger wing compact is out would you consider upgrading from the qu16
Great content as always. Do you by chance know where I could find a ramp just like you have for the van? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the comment.
Here's the ramp we use:

-- At the time I got the ramp, they could only be purchased through EZAccess. I'm not sure if that is still the case.
@@stageleftaudio Really appreciate it! Thanks for taking the time to help.
Hi sir, how do you mix your kick drums? aux send to sub thump and mains for the pop? sounds really good and tight..
Thanks for your comment. We use a crossover (dbx-260) at FOH for the PA. No aux-fed sub is used.
What ramp is that? Where did you purchase? Thanks
It is from a company called EZ-Access.

The ramp in the video is 8ft tall. Hope this helps.
is KC Ghanaian...if so I just spotted a Ghanaian...Ayikoo
I'll have KC look at this post!
hello there, just interesting, is it not simple to use wifi router to avoid the cables for this small gig?
Do you maintain a "Plan B" in the event something goes awry with a crucial part of your gear while on location, (i.e. mixer craps out, etc.)?
Yes. We do have some redundancy (mixer, cables, amplifiers, mics) at every event. Good question.
Hello sir, what small foorprint sub can you recommend of a good compromise with power, weight, size and prize? Maybe a 15 inch? I dont have a big van. Thank u!
We use a single RCF 18" sub for some events that does exceptionally well. I have mixed on some gear that has used EV 15" and 18" subs; both of these worked really well.
Hi sir how are you why you are not upload videos current time I am learning PA system. From Sri Lanka ❤❤❤
Sir one doubt mid frequency Knob full cut while sound is better or knob boost while sound is better
Always cut the frequency first to make the sound better. Boosting a frequency should be last, only if the frequency cut did not work.
@@stageleftaudio Thank you sir always respect you❤❤❤
Is your sub active or what because I had you saying that you are powering your sub please I didn't understand there
The sub is passive. It is being powered by the Crown MA 5000i amplifier (the bottom amplifier in the rack). The top (mid/high) cabinets are active.
HOW do you AVOID trips and snags with your power lines ????
All lines are kept out of the way and lay flat as possible on the ground. We run a yellow power cord for FOH. The yellow color makes the cord easily visible... therefore, greatly reducing trips.
Just one sub? How was that?
It was perfect. More than enough power for this event. We use single sub deployments for many of the shows. For the larger shows, we will use 2 or more subs.
@@stageleftaudio wow... i would love to hear how that sounds...
Does Allen & Heath be better quolity mixers then Presonus?
it is easier to use in the bright light
Each mixer has their strengths and weaknesses. For this event, the A&H was easier to use in bright light (as was just commented) compared to the Presonus. We like both consoles.
both companies make entry level consoles, as you see here with the QU, however, Allen & Heath actually do professional consoles as well, once you get up into the SQ, Avantis, and dLive systems. Presonus don't do anything like that.
Of the consoles I've used, the Presonus has the best workflow. If I were to move forward with a larger scale console, my preference would be DiGiCo.
