CHRISTOPHER CROSS SOUND & LIGHTING REQUIREMENTS

Christopher Cross presents a very dynamic, high fidelity performance. In order to assure an
outstanding quality performance for everyone in the audience as well as the members of the
band, the following requirements are essential. THERE MUST BE A SEPARATE MONITOR
CONSOLE WITH ENGINEER PROVIDED. WE DO NOT DO SHOWS MIXING MONITORS
FROM FOH. Please note that this is not a wish list, but an accurate list of equipment
needed to fulfill the contract

Power

120vol t/60Hz AC power outlets (North American configuration) at 7 positions: 2 outlets at

drums, 2 outlets at percussion, 4 outlets at bass, 4 outlets at Key-1, 4 outlets Key-2, 4 outlets at
Guitar-1, 4 outlets at Guitar-2. Two 30-amp circuits are needed. Sound power requirements are
additional, but are to be located on the same service as band equipment. Lighting is to be given
its’ own required power from a separate service.

PA SYSTEM

For all size venues, enough PA speakers and amplifiers should be supplied to provide adequate
coverage and dispersion to all audience areas. This may require the use of delay speakers where
appropriate. Small “Front Fill” speakers at all shows.
Please note that Artist's engineer or representative will make the final determination
as to what is adequate. PA system should be a MODERN LINE ARRAY. Please, no old out
dated systems. PA system must be capable of producing an SPL of 105 db "A" weighted at the
FOH mix position. FOH Mix position must be centered, no further than 150 feet from the stage.
System drive (crossovers, processors, eq, limiting, 1/8” stereo plug for I-Pod to FOH Console
must be located at the FOH location.

PA needs to be placed in front of Christopher’s position so that the speaker cloth

cannot be seen at Christopher’s mic. He sings softly and I need to avoid
feedback.

Please verify that all components are in perfect working order and are in phase BEFORE the
designated artist load in time.
A 48 input snake, with all 48 lines working properly is also required. Any return lines are above
and beyond this number, and it is recommended that a separate returns systems is used. The
stage box / splitter must have no less than 48 operational channels. Due to the fact we are
using digital consoles NO ACTIVE SPLITTERS such as BSS, KT, will be allowed.

FOH CONSOLE

Yamaha M7CL or PM5D-RH with most current software installed. Console should have
an external clock. If this console is not available, Artist's representative must approve choice of
console in advance.

FOH Processing ONLY if Digital Console unavailable

3 X Stereo reverb units are required. TC System 6000, M5000, TC M2000, Yamaha SPX 900,1000
and Lexicon 480L are examples of preferred devices
1 Stereo delay units is required. TC Electronic 2290 or D-TWO is the preferred devices.
16 Channels of insertable Compressors, DBX 160X Preferred
12 Channels Drawmer Noise Gates

Monitor Console: Sometimes we do not bring a monitor engineer. The monitor

engineer that you provide must be experienced and confident running the console
that is used.

Yamaha PM5D-RH V2 with version 2.25 or higher firmware Is our preferred consoles. If
this console is not available, Artist's representative must approve choice of console in advance.
Monitor console should be stage right and set low enough so our engineer can sit in an office
chair with wheels and operate console.

6 Stereo pair of Sennheiser wireless In Ear Monitors. We bring our own Ear Molds.

Compression driver with 12 Channels of Amplification
2 - Tri-­‐Amp Stereo Sidefills with Amplification
1 -­‐ Drum Sub Single 18” with crossover and Amplification

We use different musicians from show to show and I don’t always know who will want wedges
and who will be on “In-Ears”.

High quality Stereo Side Fills are required, size & power adequate for the stage size.

The monitor system must also include the following ONLY if Digital Console is Unavailable

2 Stereo reverb units are required. TC M5000, TC M2000, Yamaha SPX 900,1000 and Lexicon
480L are examples of preferred devices.

Separate Clear-Com System between FOH and Monitor location is required. Must include Beacons

*If analog consoles must be used for FOH or Monitors, we will not
share with an opening act.

Microphone, Stands, DI's

Please refer to the current input list for types, sizes and quantities. Please let me know in
advance if you cannot provide the microphones on the input list.

Orchestra Shows
When Christophers’ band plays with an orchestra, we will require a second FOH
console with a qualified mixer who will send stems of Orchestra sections to the
main FOH console and Monitor console. There should be at least 4 sound crew
persons including FOH and Monitor Techs to assist with mics and general set up
of band and orchestra. We want to have clip-on mics for the Violins, Violas and
Celli such as DPA 4061 & 4099. Glass dividers (gobos) are desirable to shield the
drums and percussion. There will be a monitor or hot-spot for the conductor. We
will need to have at least 3 hours of setup time (Christopher Cross crew) before
the rhythm section arrives to have a one hour rhythm section sound check
before the orchestra rehearsal/soundcheck. The orchestra chairs, stands, and
sound equipment should be set up prior to the setup time for the Christopher
Cross crew.

Personnel

A qualified and competent Monitor tech, FOH tech and lighting director are
required. Each of these people should speak English. And no drinking of alcoholic
beverages or consuming drugs will be permitted at least 12 hours prior to the
