Start with the EQ flat. Have all the microphones (turned on) and gear on stage. Turn up the
master volume, then each microphone volume until it starts to feedback and then back of
the micriophone volume below the feedback level.
That is called (among other things) "ringing out the room."
Please, for God's sake, do not do this when there is a band on stage, or anyone else in the room!!!!
And double please, for double God's sake, never ring out the monitors when the band is on stage.
I have lost quite a few hearing cells thanks to over enthusiastic sound operators who decided to set the EQ this way while I was supposed to be doing a sound check. Do it before the musicians have even parked their car, OK?
The worst offender, and I am not making this up, was a guy who'd got his job through a government re-training program. Yep, he'd lost his previous job--because of an accident that made him deaf!!!!!!
There are gentler ways to EQ a room. |

You may achieve an equal effect by Ringing Out the Room
as Mark has indicated. If fact, due to a misunderstanding
of Acoustics and Electronics, you may find yourself in-
advertently reaching for the Suck Knob while trying to
Ring out the Room. This could indeed be what Raymond
was attemping in the above "Real World Problem Solving"
action sequence. 
(I have this picture mounted to the top panel of several of
my mixers)

off the subject, but
Good heavens, are you sure? The 'Limey's' accidentally produced something good? Extraordinary!
Not since the Rolls Royce Merlin Engine in the P-51. |

| Would Patrick O'Brian (author of the Aubrey/Maturin Series) count as #3? An Irishman (who was) living in the south of France? |

Well...I don't think "living" is an appropriate word for Mr. O'Brian now, is it?
Did he consider himself an Irishman? He was born in Buckinghamshire, his mother was English (of Irish descent) and his father was of German ancestry.
But hey - with the right digital effects, we can correct for all that... |
