The bigger Picture on Equalization
The goal of equalization process is to produce better sounding for the listener. It could be a tedious process when we don't know what we are doing, and what kind of equipment that we have. In live sound could be impossible to have the perfect sound for the entire audience. As the writer suggest in the article, we can have an average, an middle point where the mostly of the audience could have a decent sound during a show when engineers try to correct off-axis response. At first view, using new technologies could solve or fix this kind of problems, but also, follow our common sense is the extra tool that we have to help about what we have to do. We could be supported by accurate equipment but it could work a lot better when we apply our knowledge and common sense. Sometimes sacrifice a little of the best is better than nothing.

It is true about sacrificing the best is better than nothing. It is only fair to give the people that aren't in the best area of the show that chance to have a good sounding show. It might not be great but it is good, but at the same time giving the people with the best position a great show, but not a perfect one. You can either blow a few peoples minds and disappoint a lot or you can please a lot of people all at once. And for the people with the great audio show, they may have not gotten a perfect sounding experience but to the average person they wouldn't know or care as long as it was a great experience.
