Uniform distance matters little for a conductor. Performers watch visual cues from him and speed of light is very fast (unlike sound).

If you are 100 meters away, you have delay of about a third of a second if you use sound, but for light it will be a fraction of a millisecond.

Doesn't matter for the performers, but it matters for the conductor.
