you tune it differently dependent on the artist or when its live, a band, a DJ, or even EDM genres are different like more highs & mids for House and more bass for techno. |

Not only that, but you'll be surprised how many DJ's don't know how to EQ properly and/or redline. I've seen big DJ's do it all the time. As a matter of fact, three weeks ago, the sound guys at Vive Latino bolted down a big bar across the up faders on the mixer Fatboy Slim was using. They also put a big sign that red DO NOT REDLINE!

The Funktion One system at The Exchange sounds great.
So Avalon is getting a new system? It'll be cool to hear how it sounds. As of now, they have GREAT bass (some people think it's a little too intense), but the highs are a little meh as others have said. |

| If you think about it, it makes sense for Avalon to get the new EAW AVALON (named after the Boston location, though it's closed now.) system....durrrrrrr |

With these high end systems, they need to be maintained to keep their sound. The speakers break-in and then over time get loose and eventually need servicing. Humidity and all kinds of environmental factors come in to play. |

There's an even better way to fix that. Compress the out of his inputs. You won't blow up sound system that way. That's how our company does it. |

Actually you don't re-tune the system unless it's a touring rig. A sound system is tuned for the acoustics of the room or environment. Not the artist. You tweak the artist at the console, and not at the actual system processing. |

IMO, L'Acoustics and Meyer Sound are better, but more expensive.
Plus Meyer focuses more on the more lucrative concerts and tour market, while Funktion is only at the clubs. |
Funktion is slowly moving into the pro sound realm. I've mixed a few bands on the system and it's pretty damn good. I didn't have any complaints about it. In all honesty though, the PA doesn't matter. It's the guy who's mixing the artist that matters. If your sound guy mixes like , your sound will be . Honest truth. |
