guitpic1 Senior Member Registered: 04/16/14 Posts: 1950 Loc: Missouri	Today, I played at a nursing home I’ve played at for years...Genos and two S1 Pros on stands. Usually we are in the back of a worship center...low ceilings and carpet. Today, they had me in a hall, solid floors, brick walls and cathedral ceiling. Before the gig, I put on some styles..went out to listen. Bass sounded boomy up close but quickly dropped off out a few feet. During the gig, sound, to me, seemed to be bouncing off walls. Folks I knew in the crowd said the sound was good during the gig. Still, it was hard for me to relax as it didn’t sound quite right. If I get put into that situation again, think I’ll go with the Eon One. 😊 Edited by guitpic1 (10/29/18 02:57 PM) _________________________ It’s all about the learning

Sometime we tend to base out thoughts on sound systems upon conventional systems we used in the past, which is a bit mistake, IMO.

Sounds like speaker position - could have been too close to back walls.
