Rick - the table looks terrible, especially the white cloth (s). they're not even fully under the table....Usually your set ups are neat and clean....
Got some new subs - setup for tonight

Rick,
the first thing I noticed was the subs not fitting under the table.
The second thing was that you did not straddle the dance floor,
and chose to have the speakers on one side.
Since others have already mentioned this...I guess you can add my name to the list.
(holy crap! did I just agree with Canute????
)

Guys, on the dance floor placement, that's the way they had the room setup when I got there. The table would've looked stranged turning it to face the dance floor, not to mention it would've exposed all my behind the table crap. As for cloth not being straight, guilty as charged. As for colorstrip on the t-bar, that unit is perm-mounted, along with multi-strip and wireless receiver. On a basic DJ pkg, I just use what you see. On a full dance lighting rig, I hand 4 scanners, a Vue6 and Triphase. Canute does have me thinking I may put the subs out to the side next week and mount the tops on top. The straight bars would be cleaner than floor stands. I'm in a larger room next week so it should be a good place to try it out.
Thanks guys.
Rick Ryan,
I don't think you got my original suggestion. The table could have stayed where it is. The speaker on the right side could have move over on the other side to be on the same plane with the other one. The Lighting Tripod could have then taken its place. You would have achieved a better result sound and aesthetic wise.
As both speakers are on the same plane now and the same distance to a room boundary, not sure the sound would have changed. Aesthetically it may look cleaner to have them along the same wall, but that wall has a counter on it and I might be concerned that folks would try to reach around the speaker stands and use/sit on the countertop .. liability in wait.
i do agree it may have looked cleaner with tops over subs unless the subs can go completely under the table.
Still, nice job.

You can't see it from the pic but that would not have been a smart move. Moving that speaker to the other corner of the dance floor would've put it squarely in the way of where a lot of guests where hanging out and would've been a tripping hazard. I wish I would've put the t-bar behind the table, in the corner. Oh well, it was still a great gig and I'm well-pleased with the JBLs.
Next time do a site visit!

Thats why they make BIG Subs!

A site visit would not have changed anything. Now I could've whined like a big ole baby and they might have grudgingly re-arranged things but then again I'd get tagged as a pain to work with. The gig went just fine and no complaints on the sound at all. It worked very well, as-is.

Big subs just make big drink holders...
Rick, oh Rick. It was just a suggestion ok. This time people other than myself made the same comments, so we all can't be wrong in thinking there was an alternate way.
As far as "whining", where does it say that asking for something automatically become "whining". It seem to me that you are easily swayed and intimidated by planners, clients and venues because you are afraid they will black ball you. maybe that is why you do not do site visits!
Lastly, I am sure that if you had the speakers pointed towars the ceing or towards the wall people would have still enjoyed themselves, eh!
Boys, got to use the JBLs in a bit larger room last night and they kicked butt. Had them spread about 12 feet on either side of my table with tops mounted on top. Putting 840 watts into each cab. Now overwhelming but lots of punch for a wedding rig.

I know it would seem like nit picking. If you ever have to go back to that same place again, put the light tree on the other side so that you don't get such os a reflection of it in the mirror. Makes that corner look too cluttered especially that you can see the back of the light tree and its cables. Except for that, the setup likes nice though.
