Mark Frink is k.d. lang's monitor engineer and
Mix's sound reinforcement editor.
“Here are some quick fixes for onstage sound: Try placing sidefills low on their side and angling them up with 2×4s. This reduces floor bounce and its resulting comb-filtering. Carpeting the floor can be the cheapest way to improve the sound onstage. To eliminate that ‘zone of confusion’ at the exact center point between sidefills, angle one upstage a few degrees. Or use a single small wedge downstage-center that's delayed to synchronize it to the sidefills. If your singer stays DSC with a mic on a stand, try flipping one sidefill's polarity for a clearer sound.”
