Allow me to help you understand who a System engineer is. Also this is an excerpt from my book Essential sound principles
Systems Engineers will be in charge of setting up amps, complex PA systems and configuring speakers.
Systems engineers have a wide range of tasks, but they all work toward the same goal: to construct a sound system that is effective, safe, balanced, and efficient, while also giving sound engineers the tools they need to create great sound.
The systems engineer is in charge of a team that carries out the rigging design, which is based on the venue’s requirements as well as the intended acoustic coverage. The systems engineer collaborates with electricians to ensure that power is distributed securely and effectively to each piece of equipment once everything is set up. The systems engineer then begins what is likely the most critical task: resolving acoustic challenges in the venue like wall reflections.
Systems engineers guarantee that the audio system can seamlessly distribute high, mid, and low frequencies by using sound-measuring software to acquire a sense of pressure levels throughout the space. They also identify and eliminate problematic resonance frequencies, manage problematic sound reflections (for example, from a giant TV screen suspended from an arena’s ceiling), and strategically arrange delayed loudspeakers.
For the duration of the show, the sound systems engineer is on call to resolve any sound issues that may develop. The systems engineer is in charge of the sound equipment breakdown and storage at the end of the concert.
