[Harp-L] BOSE systems for sound

[icemanle@xxxxxxx]

 If you wish to go in this direction, the most important factor is understanding and embracing a different way to consider live sound. What this system has the ability to do is return the control of the sound to the musicians on stage in real time. No longer at the mercy of a sound person, the musicians will need to learn to self adjust their volumes to create a unified sound, as what you hear on stage is exactly what the audience experiences. In a sense, it is a throwback to the days before extreme PA systems, in which the bands play at a more modest individual volume and everyone can hear everyone else clearly. Sometimes it is hard to adjust your attitude to a new concept, but the results can be staggeringly amazing. If the musicians "get it", they will organically begin to reduce their individual volume on stage. When truly balanced out, the stage experience is like living inside a CD recording listening through headphones.
