What I really love is how given the same loudspeakers, if you have a larger mixer-you can "cover" more people.
Could somebody please explain how that works. I guess I don't understand that part?
What formula do you use?
I allow one mix bus for each busload of people I'm mixing for... Pretty simple formula. A 4-bus console can provide sound for 4 busloads of people... 8-bus consoles handle twice as many.
If you've got a big stadium to do, you've gotta get a digital console with at least 16 variable mix buses... (The variable setting lets you vary the coverage if more people show up then expected)... But you've gotta choose if they're going to show up (pre)-show or after you've already started (post). You only use fixed buses if your audience will be seated in the same place for the whole show.
I would have thought you were hip to this formula already Ivan 😳
