What's the worst instances you've had with bad venue/DJ Booth/event space setups? These can be anywhere from big well respected clubs to rinky dink little house parties. I have a few from college (1-3 are from frat houses):
1) Me: "So how well do these (tower passive) speakers work? They look a little beat up and-"
Him: "Honestly, I'm trying to get a noise complaint tonight."
2) Them: "You can use our mixer and speakers if you want."
*mixer is cheap Radioshack mixer, sticky, from all the alcohol. The wall next to it is covered in Four Loko stickers/labels*
Me: "Do the speakers sound fine?"
Them: "Oh, not at all. There's no high pitch frequency."
3) Surge protector was duck taped into outlet. Air freshener in surge protector had melted together.
4) Equipment rentals double booked the speakers we wanted. Had to daisy chain together three pairs of PA using two DJ mixers and a stereo receiver.
