Live Sound
NOTE! THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED IN JANUARY 2007 TO
REFLECT MANY NEW ADDITIONS TO THE LIVE SOUND RIG. PLEASE STAY TUNED!
The second part
of this venture is the live sound rig. The system was built to accommodate
groups of up to 7 players, but can be worked for larger groups. The system is
compact but powerful. It sets up quick, fills the room with sound, and then packs
up in a flash.
It takes a
minimum of $150.00 to get it out of the barn.
Please call or email for specific pricing!
Location, hours,
and mileage may be additional, but it’ll still be reasonable.
<<<What
we have here is …>>>
The console is a Mackie 24.4 mixer. With effects returns I typically have 19 channels at my disposal.
The rack has a
separate mic pre-amp, compressors and reverb/delay units available as needed.
Front-of-House EQ and monitor EQ units fill out the rack.
(See Equipment
List on the Studio page for details)
The desk and
rack are a versatile combo that sits on a very small footprint, which is
helpful where space is tight.
The main
speakers are based on Mackie’s 1530 Active speaker system. The 1530 is an
internally tri-amped speaker cabinet that puts out 500 watts per side. The
bottoms are EV 18” down-firing subs, powered by Peavey CS Power amps. This 1800
watt tandem easily adapts to different music styles.
An array of
monitor cabinets are available to provide necessary fold back on stage. Up to
four individual monitor sends can be run to the stage as needed.
The microphone
case contains items from: Shure, Oktava, Sennheiser, Audio Technica, as well as
Whirlwind DI boxes.
…plus cables,
snakes, stands, duct tape, etc…
For additional
cost, the ADAT recorders from the studio can be incorporated in to this system
to provide digitally recorded tracks directly off the board. Using the channel
inserts we can pick off up to 16 tracks and record them to ADAT.
These tracks can
then be transferred back at the studio for editing, mixing and production.
