The first dance I ever did the sound for, the guy they hired dropped the gear off but had another job that overlapped ours. The first caller was a woman with a fairly high pitched voice but on sound check there was a lot of booming base. Lucky the mixer was a nice digital one and I could just dial in a high pass filter on her mic input. She sounded pretty good after that. There are advantages to allowing time to tune the system before the dance starts.
