Above is a typical sound and lighting equipment setup configuration at a large event space. This setup happens to be at Meijer Gardens in the Grand Ballroom. The ideal space for this particular setup requires a footprint of 7ft deep by 16ft wide. With and dance floor lighting array of 10 different light fixtures on a 10ft wide truss system and two sub-woofer speaker complimented by two QSC K12 mid-range speakers. This configuration will make most any event totally rock!
The equipment setup shown above is at The Downtown Market Place in Grand Rapids. With limited room and limited ceiling height, the dance floor lighting array is mounted on a single light stand with additional lights mounted under the mid-range speakers. Only one sub-woofer is required to fill the room with heart pounding bass. The space required for this configuration is 6ft deep by 14ft wide.
In the picture above, you see another example of an outdoor Ceremony (from the vantage point of the DJ mixer setup) at the Meijer Gardens venue showing the guests seating relative to the two QSC speakers on both sides of the Officiant projecting sound toward the guest without generating feedback. Feedback from speakers during a Ceremony is uncomfortable for everyone and a real distraction. Placement of the speakers, in combination of an investment in high-quality microphone equipment is essential to insure ideal amplification for the speaker (Officiant) and music.
In the picture above, you will find a Ceremony equipment setup at an outdoor venue (Camp Blodgett) in which two Mackie mid-range speakers are projecting from the front of where the Officiant will stand to the guest seating area. Two speakers were used in this case, but one could have been just as effective given the size of the venue. The Officiant was provided a lapel mic for speaking which was also very effective in eliminating the wind noise coming off from Lake Michigan in the foreground.
