My son, who manages a hotel, just posed a question to me. He wants to have outdoor music this summer in a patio location 50 yards from the rear of the main building and have the music, acoustic jazz, piped into the hotel lobby WIRELESSLY!
I mentioned to him that would more than likely require a sound engineer to set up. What are your thoughts. Can it be done by off the shelf systems that you could find at Guitar Center?

Starting question: Is there a way that they can at least broadcast to WIFI from the outdoor PA? That is, do they have WIFI at the PA location?

If so, then they could use something like Chrome-Cast https://store.google.com/product/chromec...CFYcUPwodLuAJbQ

Follow on question; if not, do they have line-of-sight from outdoor PA to a place where they could run a cable into the lobby?

If the answer to that is Yes, then you can use a wireless in-ear monitor system, with the transmitter at the PA, and a belt-pack at the entrance to the lobby. Then from there a wired output from the beltpack receiver to a PA in the lobby.

Finally, if it's a really fancy hotel, they might already have an audio over LAN system built into the hotel's PA system and your son just needs to ask how to get source material onto the network for selection at the lobby.

How about Spotify on an iPhone and a Bose Audio system?
Oh, is this a live Jazz band? 50 yards is pretty far for a wireless audio system.
Similar to rockstar-nots suggestion; Use a guitar wireless system. The body pack "transmitter" rigged up with adaptors to the tape out jacks on the main mixer. The receiver antenna box connected to a second audio system in the lobby.


Does the noise in your head bother me ?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
