In Reply to: So, it won't sound the same but it will make sound? posted by Ben on September 14, 2005 at 06:46:57:
Guitar amps have a distinctive tone. PAs don't. No guitar player worth beans would dream of going direct to a PA.Your PA has to be in front of the band or the mics will feed back. The guitar (and bass I hope) amps have to be in back of the band so the players can hear themselves. An 'all in one' speaker system won't work, it can't be in two places at the same time.
In addition to the PA mains you also will need floor wedges aimed back at the band so that they can hear the vocals.
If you don't like the idea of lugging tons of stuff up stairs find a different line of work. Also get used to the idea of working in toilets, and that isn't a reference to the restrooms. If being a musician was easy everyone would make music for a living.
What you propose seems logical but it won't work. If it did it's how everyone would do it. No one does. Go see some working bands, look at how they run their sound and ask questions. Reading a book on sound system design wouldn't hurt either; the one from Yamaha is very good.
