RE: emmersive sound



Thanks for the suggestions so far on creating emmersive sound at low-mid
vol.levels, in a small environment.

  BTW, I'm currently using two mackie SRM450's. They are very ergonomic, 
and
sound really great from 20+ feet away. I haven't given up on them, but they
don't give me 'emmersive' sound I'm looking for in a small environment. The
larger mackie powered PAs (2-way and 3way) sound significantly better!, but
maybe overkill for small rooms.  Mid-field studio monitors might work with
subs.   I'm also considering boutique amp/cabinets, which sound more open
and have better bass in the mid-field than the SRM450s.

Do you think that 2-4 high quality, small cabs(or powered PAs) dispersed in
the room, plus sub(s) may be the best way to give the audience a sense of
being enveloped in sound, even at quiet levels they can talk over?

Mark,

Was this the Mackie HR824 you were testing? I've been thinking about them 
as
studio monitors and I'm wondering if they could also do the job live,
together with a sub woofer? For small looping gigs in a chilled out
environment that is.

Best wishes
