Yes, I saw. Looks great, sure it sounds just as good! But you're
using amplification. How is "acoustic" a description?

For goodness sake. All those instruments produce their full and final
sound without electronic intervention. It is perfectly ok to take that
sound and reinforce it for the benefit of people further away, or even
record it or broadcast it over the radio for that matter. It is still
acoustic music. Nothing there has to be plugged in, in order to produce
its sound.

OK. That's how the term's used is it? When I walk into a hall and
say "Oh good, we can work acoustic tonight" it means I don't have to
set up the PA :-)

because in smaller quieter venues we perfom without a sound system
we are "acoustic" that occasionally needs reinforcment

we do have the ability to do shows without amplification. just a busy
farmers market wasn't one of them

These days, usually little more than no electronic drum kits. So go sue
'em for false advertising.

It's probably a silly question, but why does an acoustic band need a
mixing desk?

If they don't hear plenty of monitor, some band member keeps asking
(from 3 feet away from the one mic on stage) "Is this mic on?"

But often as not, in order to make enough money to be worth while taking
the gig, they have to play in venues too large or too noisy to get
sufficient gain before feedback with a single mic, so they meed to use
multiple mics just alike a rock band. And often, they want to be just as
loud.

It means one uses acoustic instruments generally not fitted with pickups
and one plays one's instruments into microphones.

Seems like this is not done nearly enough anymore. Reference my comments
on the Philadelphia Folk Festival - just about all the "acoustic"
instruments had built-in pickups and were plugged in. Hence the
"acoustic" bands sounded pretty much like electric bands.

the problem is that the pa is the final musical instrument you are
playing ,
if you are using one, and I bet you spent a lot on your musical
instruments,
and carefully chose the one that talked to you. (price points
allowance here)
but you buy your pa gear on whim and caprice ...
go **** yourself ... well you are really doing just that
a $3,000 tuned musical instrument through a 49.95 blue light special
sounds like
a blue light special audio filter just ..... the pooch!!!!

A chain is only as good as it's weakest link.
Meyer Sound is a musical instrument maker!, good point!!

No insult intended
I work with screamo bands that think nothing of kicking my monitors into the
mosh pit
if you think I would put my eaw monitors in the line of fire at shows like
that, that would be crazy
I own , right now about 48 monitors of all diffrent qualities
from the lowly yet functional behringer f1520's up tocustom in house design
useing sony silk domes and ribbons
I have various front ends as well'
from my meyers upa's and msl/ over eaw bh/and la series subs down to
yamahas over rcf subs
the rcf 1018's are actually damn good subs

I carry this line of thought through my entire rental inventory
from cad22a mics to sennheiser431's and beyer m88's

match the tools to the job, and match the expense to the return on
investment
