you should try it, sounds will come out better, just make sure all your mixing boards volume slider is turned all the way down ,then turn your power amp on to full level ,then turn your boards main volume slider gradually till you get the proper volume for that particular venue size ,watch those little lights flicker on your boards mains volume make sure that it doesn't turn red ( clipping point )...( i'm sure you know this )
