Summary

David began by referencing the common approach of adding absorption panels and audio equipment to achieve acceptable sound in a space. Rather, his (IMEG's) approach is to measure and study the architecture of the space and then focus on the canopy and diffusion, with absorption being applied sparingly. Considerations for equipment (mixers, amps, speakers) should come last.
David also noted that a stereo speaker array is OK if music needs to be reproduced but rarely works successfully for spoken voice; a mono array is best for voice.
Nick demonstrated the system with several recorded clips of music performance as well as voice. He noted that a separate mix in the TV control room is used for streaming.
