> For the Napa valley sound man- - -In iieu of having someone stand at a mic

> in front of the mic.  With practice your ears will learn to hear the 
> correct amount for the volume setting.  If you don/t hear any "pop" in the 
> room, turn it up.  If too much "pop", you'll notice it bouncing off the 
> walls.

> Using this system you can adjust the volume by yourself  quite decently. 
> One of the first things I do when I walk onto a stage for the first time
