Sorry I should have given more details so here goes, I use all 16 channels 5 piece band
RCF ART 705 active subs and RCF ART 312 active tops
DW drum kit with Akg d112 on kick and and Akg C418s on snare and toms
Bass DI, lead guitar with Marshall mic'd sure sm57, keys in stereo, lead vocal using wireless sure sm58 beta, and sm58's for backing vox
I have tried bringing up the EQ but always causes boomy feedback,
Don't get me wrong we have a good sound from the PA, no complaints from my band or from the punters, but always concerns me that the EQ is pushed down, just doesn't seem right, which is why I asked for other people's experience
Cheers
Pete
