I often had the same problem when I used a conventional sound system. When I transitioned to the Bose L1 PAS and later the Bose L1 compacts, the audiences heard exactly what I heard, nothing more, nothing less. The size of the room, make up of the walls and ceiling height, floor covering no longer had any bearing on anything. The Bose, and some similar, vertical array sound systems, all have similar attributes. They provide less than 10 percent drop-off at 100 feet, and have a 210 degree horizontal spread with equal volume. The person that is sitting just 10 feet in front of you hears the exact same thing, at the same volume, with identical sound quality as the person situated 100 feet from the stage. Additionally, the singer/player hears exactly the same sounds as the audience. No need for monitors, ear buds, etc..., those things are history. Vertical array systems are very feedback resistant and with a feedback resistant mic, you can stand directly in front of the sound columns and experience no feedback at all.
Donny, you didn't post what mic you were using and what sound system was used. You already know my settings for my PSR-S-950, which I have posted many times in the past. As you are aware, this information is of paramount importance in order to provide you with setting information.
Keep in touch,
Gary
