They don't particularly. They make it sound good to them on a system they know. It's the mastering engineer's job to balance the finished mix. > Phil Leigh;264696 Wrote: >> Also as anyone who's ever staged an outdoor event knows...you need an >> awful lot of power to get a decent sound level in a field... >> 60Kw anyone? > > Yeah, but a lot of that is because the crowd is far away from the > speakers. Actually, it's because there is little or no reflected sound. In a hall, you get direct sound from the speakers, plus reflections from the floor, walls, & ceiling. Outdoors, you don't get any of that. You get some re-enforcement from the ground, but that's usually absorbent (e.g. grass).
