Technical Rider & Stage Plan

Transcription

1 Technical Rider & Stage Plan Below is a list of our technical specifications. We designed this rider for optimum effectiveness on the day of the show. If you have any questions or problems with providing any of the below mentioned items please get contact us two weeks before the day of the show at the latest and we will work with you to agree a solution. Stage Size We require a 5m x 4m minimum sized stage, with a stable flooring support. FRONT-OF-HOUSE SYSTEM We assume that there is a well sized PA system provided for the concert room with sufficient power to supply a clean and undistorted signal to the mixing desk with at least 22 channels, free of buzzes, hum, excessive noise, crackles, clicks and pops, with a 5 way monitor mix and at least two effects sends using reverb and delay (7 Aux sends in total). We expect the venue to have their own sound engineer on site or hire one in. We can arrange our own engineer by prior agreement if required. Sound reinforcement must be of a suitable size and quantity to deliver clean, undistorted, full-range sound at a volume of 110dBA to every seat / viewing area in the venue. The show will not be mixed this loud, but headroom is required for clean transients. Note that this is a high-energy show and as such requires substantial sub-bass energy. Please select a PA system based on the coverage pattern required of the room rather than aesthetics. 3-box line arrays are not preferred where a trap system is more suitable. Also, please ensure the whole PA system, including all required fills, is correctly aimed for full audience coverage and time-aligned before we arrive. MONITOR SYSTEM Lead Vocals, Drummer & Bassist: We will supply three IEM monitor systems for UK shows only. For shows outside the UK these must be provided by the client (see gear list for non UK shows). Keyboards: We will supply two EV powered monitors for UK shows only. You will need to supply a single floor monitor. For shows outside the UK all wedges must be provided by the client (see gear list for non UK shows). Guitarist: You will need to supply a pair of floor monitors. This applies for UK and non UK shows. INTRO & OUTRO MUSIC We will supply these on USB or CD so please make sure you have the equipment needed for this. The intro needs to be played at the start of the show and needs to be as loud as the band level. PLEASE NOTE: Do not send this to any on stage monitors or in ear monitors. As soon as we have finished the last song Living On A Prayer play the outro and fade it in straight away. Let this play until the end of the song.

There are often several hours downtime between sound checks and show times.
