"We have a saying: Loud is beautiful only if it's clean. That's the ideawe need to achieve a strong low end so we can get a really clean show. It makes the show more enjoyable for the audience, and makes it seem like they are closer to the artist. If you go to a concert that sounds bad, it always makes the artist seem like he's in the distance. If it sounds good, the artist seems like he's right in front of you. It all depends on the efficiency of the system that you use."Horace Ward, FOH Engineer, Usher.
