This may be long BUT you might spot somewhere to AVOID.Originally Posted by CRAZY K ROADSHOW
Nice one Shaun--as its my number one hate I will have to dig through the records but can think of one immediately that was a total disgrace and no one should ever play the venue.
I need to check diaries.
Ill be in touch
Right heres the worst Sound Limiter system EVER.
Southampton and Portsmouth readers take note.
4th September 2010--event in Bedhampton Social Hall, Bedhampton PO9 3ES.
I meant to write to the Council to complain but ran out of time.
Limiter never mentioned---so client did not appear to know.
As soon as any serious volume reached bang all power dead--thats not the worst bit, not an auto set system.
The man in charge of resetting the power was serving behind the Bar.
Hello Mr Barman I need the power resetting urgently as there are a load of people who want to know why I cant do any Line Dancing.
Reply--hang on I will be free in 5 minutes
Whaaaaat-then he goes to a locked room and goes into a security cupboard to reset the power.
AN ABSOLUTE JOKE AND DISGRACE.
I think its also had trips on all doors and windows other than front door.
Unless this venue has reviewed this nonesense AVOID. Impossible to work with IMHO.
Next Bray Village Hall near Maidenhead some many years ago, so MAYBE its improved---but as Google earth tells you, smack bang next to houses.
Scottish Celebration---love them. First thing Barman says--you will have trouble with the limiter--eh what limiter?????
Quite right---every round of applause or cheer--bang its off--never mind the music---not that there was much of that--TOTALLY RUINED THE WHOLE EVENT.
Unless its been reviewed AVOID. Impossible to work with IMHO.
Moving South to The Queens Hall, Cuckfield. Bearable limiter but useless if you use the mike a lot ( I do) Screwed up totally the first Barn Dance for the lovely couple of ladies who hired me for a Civil.
Sooo if you let the music do-----not a problem as I blasted things later to get some atmosphere and had no problem--vocal work---big problems.
Well those are my worst ones--
HTH
