Had my works quiz night yesterday. I took a T30 as well - in the left corner of the picture. Probably overkill but it gives a bigger feel to the sound . The two lights set a bit of mood, but I thought we were going to be in a different room of the hotel which has a bare wall behind the head table, and was why I went to the effort of making the tilting mounts. I wasn't expecting to have curtains where I wanted to put the lights. Nevertheless the mounts need a slight mod or different bracket so they can just plain old shine straight up a wall from off the floor, which would have worked better in this scenario.
Got some great compliments on the sound. I set up in about an hour and a quarter, and had time to spare to try the different auto EQ curves on the PA+. I ended up back at 'Disco', with a slight HI cut on the mixer channels. Also had the e835 out for the quiz master which he really liked.
I played my mate 'its gonna get louder' and turned it up full on the desk, with just the one sub - it was balanced with the jack12's both due to rough amp channel settings and the auto EQ. He suggested getting more subs in, professional DJ's and having a rave. "Why not? Do it". There can't be many hotels that permit/hold full on raves, and one would need a few more jacks and 2 to 4 more subs, but I think he'd been inspired.

Re: Works quiz night
Go on then, ...how many more are required? i.e. do your 4-off keep up with your tops in your outdoor gigs.
