Hi guys,

new to the sub and live sound. We have a pair of Yamaha Stagepas 1K that I use for my band.

As mentioned in the title, the vocals clip alot when we play in venues, especially when the singers are REALLY singing into the mic. Turning down the volume knob seems the obvious answer but doing that means they're no longer loud enough. The P.A allows for basic EQ and reverb but no compression. How do I stop this from happening??

Apologies if this is a novice question or has been asked already. Appreciate any help :)
