Set Up Delay Speakers

When you graduate to bigger speaker setups the stereo mix starts to be delivered to different zones in differing amounts
Front fills, out fills, side fills, delays…It’s easy to be overwhelmed by all the terminology and zone types.
Previously we’ve looked at delay speakers and this time we’ll have a look at front fills. So if you’ve ever wondered what front fills are, what types of speakers are used, or how you might deploy them then this video should give you an introduction, teach you the logic behind how to deploy them and help you feel comfortable in situations with front fill speakers.

You sir, have great videos! I’ve been watching a lot of them. Great explanations, great demonstrations, very useful and good to know information for up and coming live sound engineers
I have a suggestion - could you make a video about allocating and pulling power for a venue? For instance, how much can you connect to you one outlet before it trips. Should you split power from stage monitors and instrument amplifiers & why, etc. I think that would be helpful. Thanks!!
Thank you so much! I am by no means an electrician but I can definitely share what I know about stage power. The problem with electricity is it's very dangerous if you get it wrong so I tend not to make any videos about that stuff. But I'll see if I can find away to make a video without putting anyone in danger.
I second this - great stuff.
Watched a few of your vids on various topics now. All have been very useful. Certainly earned a Sub!
Question on this one, in conjunction with the one on delays, do you prefer (advise?) to do speaker-related stuff (delays/fills/processing etc) on the board via matrices or externally in a dsp in a rack? What's the pros/cons of each method? This would be a interesting video.
This is a great question! I would generally recommend doing it in the processor, even if it's the matrices straight into a processor. I think it seperates the creative from the technical. Also processors tend to have more appropriate filters for crossovers and more accurate delay times. Good idea for a video though, I'll add it to the list!
I've heard reference to the Haas (precedence) effect when talking about front fill delay ( 8:15 ), which might be useful in conceptualising the utility/considerations regarding front fills.
Delaying front fills fills balances their "precedence" relative to the main main PA ( Daniel Kharrat demonstrates this effect well here: ua-cam.com/video/7JvWcIq19xU/v-deo.html ). Delaying their signal creates the illusion that the fills are further from the audience than they are, merging them into the backline and main PA and obscuring the direction/position of the sounds by blending them into the stereo image.
Really keen to try this out but never worked at a venue big enough!
Absolutely, I don't even think about it but that is exactly what's happening. You give precedence to the main PA so that people localise the sound source to the stage and the main PA but the fills just help with the frequency response. Thanks for sharing the video.
How to setting YAMAHA M 16 xu that analog audio mixer
It's not possible to set output delays on this mixer, most analogue mixers are not designed for this. Consider a system a processor.
