Welcome to Pro Audio Middle East

The effect that tuning can have on a sound system is nothing short of amazing. In a very cultured weekend in Stratford-upon-Avon in the UK I experienced both sides of what tuning could do with a trip to the theatre and a concert. Both sites had fixed installs using top of the range equipment, but at the concert, the venue’s system had been poorly tuned. This made the music hard to listen to, and in turn led to a very sparse crowd. At the theatre however, the sound system had been perfectly tuned to the venue and succeeded in adding atmosphere to the performance in front of a packed house. It just goes to show, it doesn’t matter how good the components are, if a system is not tuned correctly it will not sound good.
