That's probably the biggest problem you have. It is VERY VERY difficult to mix to a part of the room you can't hear. Solutions: 1) Move the sound board downstairs in a halfway decent spot. That's a lot of work and probably won't fly with the powers that be. 2) Get a pair of monitors for the sound guy. They will probably need to be put on a delay because the board is far enough away. You can probably get some behringer unit to do speaker delay for no more than $100. You will want to set the levels so that the volume at the booth matches somewhere downstairs, like one of the first few rows. A dB meter would make this task easier.
