This was the ultimate test of "less is more." With no music to hide behind, the entire success of the show rested on the integrity and absolute clarity of a single signal path.
Creative Approach
The singular objective was maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio for the spoken word. The system was optimized for one Shure SM58. Before the show, I mapped the room's acoustic nodes and used the M32 to implement precise, narrow-Q notch filters, eliminating feedback frequencies before they could manifest. The only other processing was a gentle compressor acting as a consistency algorithm.
