In Reply to: Quality PA speakers for singing posted by Jimmy on February 5, 2006 at 05:17:46:
Yes, there is no shortage of poor quality PA equipment. No, there is no need to have separate PAs for the vocals and the instruments (although the Grateful Dead did exactly that, at great expense).Assuming you buy high quality products, the limiting factor is the sound guy (aka the sound "engineer").
Most sound guys are clueless and just try to find a sound that they like, whether or not it showcases the band. Some know how to reinforce some instruments (generally bass, bass drum, snare drum), but are a fish out of water when it comes to mixing sound that actually has good balance across the entire band (vocals, lead guitar, horns, keyboards, etc., etc.).
So, it could well be that your kid's band sounds bad because the guy who's doing the sound doesn't know what he's doing.
The bottom line is: buy good stuff, and get a good engineer.
