STAGE POWER 240 V/ 13A power supply points are to be placed on stage. This
circuit must be the same distribution as the house and monitor sound systems, and
totally separate from lighting, video circuits.
MIX POSITION
The position of the sound console is of utmost importance.
Control rooms, Booths etc., are absolutely unacceptable for this purpose.

VERY IMPORTANT –The Mix position MUST be located in the house at the center of
the L&R speakers, about halfway between front and rear of the house, forming an
equilateral triangle, with the speaker enclosures and the mix position at the apexes,
with line-of-sight between speakers and control position. While this will not always be
possible, under no circumstances should the console be placed further left than the
left speakers, or further right than the right speakers. The FX & control racks should
be easily accessible from the console and should not be positioned under it. Sufficient
illumination for desk and racks should be provided as should a stool or chair for the
operator.

We strive for a top-notch show for our artist, but we also understand the need for
substitutions from a rental point of view. That being said, We request that you inform
us in case of any discrepancies or shortfalls and we would be more than happy to
discuss the needs of the show.

If you have any problems, or if any of the items listed above will not be available, please
contact us as soon as possible at least one week prior to the event. If no contact is made,
we’ll assume that this rider will be fulfilled to specification.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
