The main item I’m researching is speakers. I haven’t decided whether to go active or passive, but I’m leaning heavily toward the latter so I can keep the amps in one DRY location. Any recommendations on monitor speakers for dressing rooms, backstage area, and F.O.H.? For FOH I’m thinking I’m going to try and do 3 zones divided into front seats, mid-section, and further back. Audience seating area total is approx.. 50’ wide x 100’ deep max. Speakers will be taken down for the winter months but would remain in the weather for the summer so I’m looking for ideas on weatherizing as well as specific speakers to consider…</div><div>Thanks for any recommendations!</div><div> </div><div>Ben Mays</div><div>Technical Director</div><div>Assistant Professor of Theater</div><div>Gilliam Center for the Arts</div><div>UVa-Wise</div><div>Office: 276-376-4537</div><div>Cell: 276-698-4741</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html><br>
