Is It worth it?

Hi guys,

Have a question for a problem I was asked to fix. Its a auditorium that holds about 250 people. It has fairly low ceilings, ceiling tiles. It looks like 8 inch generic speakers, through out the building in the ceiling I think there was about 10 of them. They have a Peavey Powered 8 channel mixer and a Peavey 31-band graphic EQ with FLS (Feedback Locating System). So like I said its a auditorium with a stage where lectures are given. There is microphones used in the audience as well. It is most exclusively all voice no music. Did I mention the place is a acoustical nightmare. As soon as you turn off the EQ/FLS you almost instantly get feedback with a mic on, but put music on with the EQ/FLS off it sounds great. Then turn on the EQ/FLS on the sound is very poor, but we loose any feed back. I have a 260 I was thinking I would remove the EQ/FLS in the system to see if it would fix it, and if it did suggest to them to purchase a DRPA. So you think it could help?

Thanks

    Invariably...The problem is, the filters needed to kill the feedback will also butcher the sound... The problem will be the multiple measurements necessary to get a cross section of the problem.. then collating the data, and coming up with an EQ scheme that can be transferred to the PEQ's to get the best chance at a good sound AND a feedback free enviorn.. I can do it... can you? It's definately worth a try... The feedback eliminator should help cover the gray area...
