Speaker placement

[Deedler]

Starting a regular gig shortly. The hall is approximately 60 yards long by 25 yards wide. Ceiling height is 12 feet. Small stage 15 X 15 ft is in the top (North) left hand corner and most of the tables are directly south of the stage. Directly to the left and adjacent to the stage is the dance floor approx. 30X 30 ft. The bar runs down the left side looking south of the dance floor. DJ v Karaoke will be 80/20 DJ. Question is , where would you place the speakers. I have Eurolive powered speakers.

Your directions of the layout are a little confusing... if I were to guess, I would say the stage & dance floor would be on the longest wall (North?), with a few tables and seating somewhere south of the stage, and maybe contacting the dance floor somewhere closer to where the bar sits on the other ( South? ) wall... Not knowing which model Eurolive speaker you are using ( or any other amplification available ) you are needing to get closest to dance floor for sound and bass control for the dancers, as well as having some sort of speaker/monitor for Singer's on stage, so that they & you can hear what the mix sounds like to enhance the sound for Karaoke... again, just guessing, until the other details are clarified!

Ok let me clarify. The hall is rectangular so you walk in the bottom end and look up the "length" of the hall and at the other end is the stage (on your left) and beside it (on the right) the dance floor. Stage and dance floor take up all of the back wall. When you are on the stage looking down the length of the hall the dance area is directly beside you on the left, then the bar is basically down the rest of the left wall.
All the seating is directly in front of the small stage.
So, would the speakers be better front of the stage facing the seating or on the dance floor or some other arrangement?
Speakers are Behringer Eurolive B215s with an Allen & Heath Zed 10 FX mixer.

Your description of the venue is confusing.

Is there any way you can draw a floor plan and upload as a .jpg?

Do you have 4 speakers and a sub woofer to use in the venue?

Deedler,

OK, I've got a better idea of the layout of your venue... now tell us how many people you can put inside? Maximum occupancy (Fire Code) as well as seating capacity? You call it a hall... is it used for multi-purpose, such as a VFW hall (installations, weddings, bingo, etc.)? What kind of patronage do you expect to attract? Also, are the walls bare, or covered with anything that will absorb or deaden the sound that comes from the stage/dancing area? Sounds like you are using just one pair of powered speakers and a mixer... does the Hall have any other speaker system that you could splice into?

[Deedler]

Seating capacity is 120 with approx 150 max. One wall, mostly windows has curtains. Other walls have nothing. This is a semi private club with usually a 50/50 membership/guest ratio of customers of varying ages but mostly older. Not a Legion but similar. I have played this venue before for a Karaoke night with success. I had the speakers (2) out front just on either side of the stage. (more confusion I fear)
Now I will be expected to DJ therefore the dance floor will be used to a much greater extent. So, do I need more than 2 powered speakers etc. Should one be placed on one corner of the dance floor away from the stage? There is no other system in place.
