I agree with terry.. more than 20-25' back echo becomes a serious issue.
I've often thought it would be cool to insert some kind of delay processor in series with the soundboard feed. I don't know how much such a device would cost or how good it would sound, but it would be cool to dial in the delay and get a perfect matrix on the fly.
Well, those concerns are dropped now that I got an R4, but I do still use the UA5 at small venues. At one venue I've got mics (AT853) permanently set up ("installed sound") hanging from the ceiling about 6' in front of the stage. One pointed at the PA speaker and the other to the stage.
