This is an old church with a great vibe but bad sound.

Acoustic music is okay, but drums and bass, even for jazz, just get messy in there. The performers are on the long wall, playing toward the cafe kitchen area in the photos. The mains are hanging up in the top corners of the long wall, stage side. They are 15s with horns, junk basically, too large of a woofer for the music in there.

Please have a look and let me know any trapping or general ideas that may help this room. It's too wet and has some low mid resonances. My first suggestion was 2 walls on casters to go next to the stage at an angle, making a staging area on eather side of the performing area. One side of the wall would be 705 or 703? ... the other wood. And some 703 on the wall behind the drum riser.

??

thanks,
