I took everything out in the field a couple of weeks ago and started from scratch with my system DSP. It's always sounded good, but recently I've been fighting feedback and having to do some extreme EQ on mics to get it sounding the way I want it. I figured after a year of tweaking EQs and so forth that it was probably off... and it was. After making some major changes to both my gain structure and EQs, it's back to where it's supposed to be. I had forgotten how good these cabs sound!
No EQ on vocal mics except for a highpass and they sound great (Sennheiser EW135G3) and even the lav mic (AT3000 with the 831) sounded awesome with only a little tweak (which is normal). There are no feedback problems, even with a couple of mics out in front of the stacks for activities (this is a youth camp setup).
Oh.. and it's a 2000+ seat room, with 4 DR200s. Barely scratching the surface, 95-100db at FOH (100ft back)
I can't write about this event without saying that the leadership and staff are great people. I do a lot of work with local Baptist church groups, and we're always well cared for, but the camp staff here have really gone out of their way to make things easy on us (we're out of state for this one) and they've been awesome to work with during service times as well. Everybody is here for the right reasons and doing the right things.
