Natalie Cole @ The MACC
Posted by delta on March 10th, 2007
I just ran spot for Natalie Cole lastnight. I gotta say, her A1 is good. He didn’t crank it up, he just found the sweet spot and left it there…
For the first time in a long time, there were no complaints about the sound in the Castle. Not that it has ever sounded bad – it hasn’t…
The thing is, since getting the new sound system, incoming A1’s love to push the Db level as far as they legally can…
In the Castle Theatre you can hear someone elses conversation across the theatre – it is almost perfect acoustically. In many cases you don’t even need amplification. I was doing a corporate conference in the Castle about 6/7 years ago when Tony Bennet put his mic down and sang the last three songs without it. I was on the mezz rail and it sounded great!
Just a few weeks ago Keali`i did a whole acoustic set that sounded great as well…
So, basically, anything amplified in the Castle Theatre can be considered loud. How loud? Depends on who you’re asking…
