OUTPUT MONITORING
CONFIG CHANNEL Stage position Speaker
1 Side Esquerda / Floor Left 2 FZ 102 A ou similar
2 Side Direita / Floor Right 2 FZ 102 A ou similar
3 In ear sistema sem fio /In ear wireless system 1 Sennheiser ou Shure (True Diversity system)
4 Musician floor monitor 1 D&B M2 or similar
* NOTE: if the stage is more than 8 meters deep, 2 speakers will be needed for each side of the side (same track but separate to increase return coverage)
* OBS 2.: if it is better for the space/venue and there is no in-ear monitoring available for the musician, it will be possible to use a monitor speaker.
P.A SYSTEM The sound system should be designed and aligned according to the venue necessities. A consistent frequency response throughout the whole seating area is needed, ranging from 40 Hz to 18KHz, +- 3dB. The system should be able to achieve, as described above, a consistent 110 dB SPL with 10 dB of headroom (or limited to the maximum SPL allowed for the designated venue). The subwoofer speakers should be positioned on the floor as the play demands a rumbling sound of low frequencies to propagate through the structure/floor into the seating area. The mixer console: Yamaha CL3 or CL5 (we can discuss the use of another desk if better for the local venue, as long as it´s being of the same quality). The stage and musician monitoring can be made from the same desk as the P.A. system.
EXTRAS – The setup and location of the Musician, where the interface is also located, will be on the front left part of the stage. – 1 wireless instrument system (Shure UR or similar Sennheiser ew100 or ew300) – P10 connector for guitar. – At least 4 AC points for the musician on stage. – 1 guitar pedestal. – 1 small table or black box measuring approximately 0.50m H x 0.50m W x 0.80m C. It will be used by the musician on stage. – 1 black chair with padded seat and no armrest.
SUBTITLES For presentations with subtitles, video projection equipment and an adequate board will be required. The scene is very bright, it is necessary to ensure a very powerful video projector to ensure good reading of the subtitles. The projection screen must be made of wood painted black with the approximate dimensions of 1m x 4m. It should be suspended at 3m to 3.5 m in height. A dedicated video technician is required to prepare the video for subtitles.
Are necessary: 1 projector (minimum 6000 Ansilumens) + lens suitable for the distance between projector and screen and shutter; Cables and necessary connections between computer and projector.
