I have to tell you: Bad Sound, unnecessarily bad sound, just kills me. Hurts my ears. I hate to tell you Mr. Peavey, but I never hear one of your PA's that sounds Good. Maybe it's because of the smily face they seem to always put on the Graphic EQ or maybe they just suck.
Well, here's a few links that will help you learn and find out about the details of making sound good. You could even take a class. Sacramento City College has a Live Sound Reinforcement class and I'm told there is one at Chico State too. Good sound is not an accident, you gotta know something which means you have to Learn something. Go do it!

This first version of this page is just a bunch of links. Most manufacturers have User Guides, manuals, tutorials and White papers for you to download and read. That's what these links are for. Learn about mic patterns and EQ and gain-before-feedback and all kinds of Stuuf. And which way to turn the knobs.
