simple rule of thumb for live band PA sound....

Bass needs to be turned up to chest pounding levels

Hi Mids & Treble need to be lowered until they cause least pain and discomfort...

Drum kits with too many cymbals should be assertively discouraged....

.. and always carry a pair of "musicians's earplugs"* in your pocket.. just in case..


[* affordable, and designed to reduce volume levels whilst still providing a reasonable balanced non muffled sound] 😎
