Sound Equipment List

Here is a detailed equipment list of the gear directly available to be economically be negotiated into any estimate or quote.  See Sound Services for more.

Additional/different rental gear may be required, depending on the type and size of the function/event.  My preferred rental provider is Long & McQuade.

  • Base control systems:
    • Behringer X32 Rack digital mixer, with X-Live expansion card for on-board multichannel recording/playback
    • Mackie DL16S digital mixer
    • simple analog mixer (8 XLR-in + 2 aux/rca-in, 2 1/4" main-out, 1 1/4" monitor out)
    • iPads for mixer control
    • Laptop for mixer control and off-board multichannel recording/playback
      • Doubles as A/V interface for hybrid meetings.
    • Wired gigabit Ethernet for system control, with 5G WiFi for wireless access

    • Note:  For those that want to control their own monitors, you can bring your own device loaded up with Mackie Master Fader 5 for the DL16S or one of Behringer's X32 apps for the X32R -- or I can often spare a tablet for this purpose.
