Equipment for Bands

This year we are borrowing equipment from KBOO, Marcelo Spina, and Seamus. Marcelo is coordinating day-of setup, running of the sound board, and teardown. Is this where information about the stage goes?

Audio Equipment

All right....With Geek Fair over I can now say that it is well worth renting all the equipment we do not have from a single location, notably showcase sound on hawthorne. Hold this equipment well in advance to be safe. The equipment we need, at minimum, includes:

• mixing board with a fair amount of aux channels, (4 or 6)
• power amps, ( for mains and monitors) (showcase has power amp/mixing board combo)
• monitor speakers, (wedge type, self powered would be great!)
• compressors and possibly a crossover
• FX units, (reverb, EQ's, feedback eliminators would be great)
• microphones, (dynamic and condenser)
• microphone stands
• cables, (XLR, 1/4", and speaker cords)
• stage snakes, (8 or 12 channels. 16 would be awesome)
• headphones, (noise cancelling is the best!)
• 19" rack cases...w/ casters would be really nice
• some way to play music between bands when nothing else is happening, like an mp3 player
• Main speakers and stands (be sure that they work together!)

the time is yesterday to start seeing who will donate these things for next year

Stage and Risers

Our stage is sucky. We need a new one. At minimum, the existing stage should be repaired or recycled.
