Incredible video! Learned more in 20 minutes than I have in 10 years playing shows

I hope that you are not working in this environment, because it shouldn’t take long to understand the basic principal and to set it up.

@UCjaf0CxnYIk-nqfB8WBcHhw I’m just talking about the reality in our society. We don’t have time to teach for 10 years to learn that. I also liked the video and it’s pretty straightforward which is really good. You also don’t know me to judge me if I know everything better. It’s not my character and I do work in that environment. Just where i live, it’s not allowed to work if you don’t have any degree in it. Ideally bachelor/ master as audio engineer or apprenticeship as an audiovisual technician which takes up to 3-4 years. Many neighbouring countries don’t require any diplomas and the majority of the countries do whatever they see fit in creative studies. So complicated sometimes. However, I wish you a Happy New Year and all the best for 2023 👌

I have to agree with the majority. This is such an informative video and presented/edited perfectly for a concise and understandable demonstration of a basic live setup. I’m glad that it has given people confidence to setup there own gear. It is rare to see such information delivered this way on KZread so well done for achieving it.

What an absolute gem of a guy. Probably the best instructional video I've ever watched. Well done Sir!
Literally the most informative video I've ever seen and been watching KZread for 18 years 😄 thank you so much!!!
I've been playing bass in bands for years but I've always been terrified to do any of this. I just ordered my own system so I could do sound, and this video made me feel a lot better. Thank you so much. This is well done
Wow! This is the most detailed and most educating video I have watched on setting up PA system.....You are a professor on this. Thanks for this exceptional presentation/teaching.
Well, I have watched a countless number of YT videos on setting up PA systems and in particular using a mixer desk properly and this is the best by a mile that I have seen. No jargon, just logical, practical and systematic processes made simple, thank you

Explained a complex subject in a clear easy to understand and organised way. Well done mate. Keep up the good work. I learned a lot in 20 minutes.
What a quality simplified teaching technique. I have learnt a lot today. God bless you Sir.
Very good video! I've been a sound tech for 45 years. You have explained the basics very clearly! For our 7-piece band, especially on a smaller stage, we use a single floor monitor in front of the lead vocalists/piano player in Aux 1, and 2 side-fill monitors on a tripod stand for the band from Aux 2. That seems to cover the stage for us rather nicely.

Imagine your explanation, he doesn't have 45 years of experience...
Great video. I saw mixing boards so terrifying and now i can feel i can get started with my own PA system for my band
Wonderfully done God bless you my brother in Jesus's Name!
Amazingly well done, the info straight forward but explained in a very understandable way. Thank you
woww, this video is a very clear and comprehensive course in only 20 minutes! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Best explanation of PA system setup I've ever come across. I know zilch about sound quality, components and preparation. Yet after listening to this I can definitely make a correct and well informed effort in setting up sound system. Thanks
Finally, a well constructed and informative video on mixers. I've searched for something like this for the last 2 years. So glad I caught up with it.
Thankyou so much for explaining most of the important things in just 20 minutes! Much appreciated 🙏
Been gigging for years and still learnt a lot from this video! Thank you!
I've been searching here and there but I didn't find any video more detailed and as well presented as this one. Thank you very much.
The best vid I've watched so far explaining everything that is needed to get started!! Thank you so much sir!!
at last a detailed enough yet concise video giving all info needed, really great job, much appreciated
Amazing clarity and simplicity in this packed educational video. Please keep up the good work ☺️ !!!
Fantastic video. Appreciate your demystification of the PA system. And thank you for taking the time to talk through the mixer controls as well. I look forward to the opportunity to use one now.
Very good work guys. Best explanation of the signal chains with the perfect required talking. Thanks 👍
This is the best set up video I've found on youtube. Thank you for making it simple and concise.
A brilliant explanation. Best I have seen on youtube.
You’ve been so helpful!! Such a digestible and comprehensible explanation of a fairly complex subject. Thank you so so much :^)))
This is the greatest of all the videos I've watched. Basic but good capture of essentials
Great job! I am just beginning to acquire my own sound system for gigs, so this is very helpful! I love the way you explained things simple enough for a beginner such as myself to understand everything!

Excellent Tutorial ,, as a beginner i learned more than any other method. Thank you very much.
Thank you 🙏🏼. Simply explained but very clear. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
WOWWW!!!! What a great video! I'm very impressed and I did learn so much in it. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. God bless you and yours 🙏🙏
Your video is the best of all I have seen. I'd be surprised how few KZreadrs use diagrams like you.
Wonderful video, mate - I am more versed with some of these principles when I'm doing home recording, but should I ever have to get involved with live work, this is the first one I'll come back to. Thanks so much!!
This is a really good video for beginners and has so much depth in demystifying the public address system control. I am definitley going to check more of your videos.
What a Brilliant Presentation. Many Thanks Sam. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks fr this run through, am DJ ing at a large event next week, which has a PA system on the stage and I am having nightmare about setting up my gear, t his helps a lot. cheers 🙂
Excellent Excellent. Just what I needed to be clear about.
Really great video - easy to digest and full of good information.
Incredibly informed video that’s laid out in a way that just about anyone can understand! I really appreciate this video, I’m in the process of getting PA’s and some stuff for my keyboard set up at shows. I have an AKAI MPC KEY 61 and I make beats with a singer as well so I need speakers with a full response range and be able to kick some sounds out as well! Your setup tips for placing PA’s makes so much sense and have played countless bars that almost set up the entire opposite design that you have and I hear constant feedback and issues with tone from the speakers. Greatly appreciate this tutorial!!

Thank you soooo much, new dj using all passive speakers, dh controller and amp
Best video I found fr beginners
Usually the problem with subs on each side of the stage creates a power alley and bass cancelation in the middle of the room. It’s much better to place a couple of subs centered in front of the stage in cardioid mode
Thanks sir, very nice information 👍
