Extras!
Here are pics and descriptions of some of the extra items you can add on to create your perfect event package.

Six channel analogue mixing desk
Soundcraft EPM 6
This lovely desk has multiple mic and line inputs. It has three equaliser bands and the middle frequency is "sweepable" so you can really tune in the sweet spot to boost or reduce certain frequencies.

16 channel digital mixing desk
X-Air XR16
This digital desk is iPad controlled only and doesn't include an iPad so you will need to provide one.
The X-Air app is available in the App Store. It's very comprehensive. More can be learned about it here.

Foldback monitor
Mackie SRM350iii
Used on stage so performers can hear themselves. Especially for singers in loud bands. You won't always need one but you might struggle without one.

Wireless microphone
Audio Technica ATW-T341b / 3100b
comes with batteries and cable to connect to the PA or mixer. has 100M operating distance can be used for speeches, presentation or singing.

"Scooped" kick drum mic
Sennheiser e902
Great for pop and rock bands, these bass drum mic's are pre-equalised with a mid bass scoop to remove the mush to of your bass drum sound so you get the boom and slap you want without the waffle!

Guitar amp mic
Sennheiser e906
These flat square mic's are perfect for guitar cabinets and if the amp has a handle on the top you can save yourself a stand and hook the cable under the handle and dangle it over the cone!

Rack tom mic & clip
Electro Voice EV ND44
These little EV mic's are brilliant devices. They have a pivot between pickup and output barrel which allows you to position the head in the sweet spot of your drum. also great on snare top & bottom and on horns comes with the hoop grip clip pictured.

Floor tom, kick or deep snare mic
Electro Voice EV ND46
This mic also has a pivot to help position in the perfect spot on your drum. Great on floor tom because of its extended low frequency response however it's fantastic on deep snare drums for plenty of oomph! comes with the Audix D-Vice clip pictured.

Snare or brass mic
Beyerdynamic M201
This is my favourite mic for snare drums! It captures the transient really nicely and has a natural low end roll off that removes some of the spill from bass drums and toms. Also fabulous on trumpet and small brass instruments.

Full bandwith dynamic mic
Beyerdynamic M88
Great for sources with a lot of low end so bass drums, bass guitar, double bass, cello etc. Also lovely on saxophone and low register brass. It's also really nice on spoken word so ideal for podcasts or as an interview mic.

Overhead or acoustic instrument mic
Audio Technica ATM450
These little beauties are "side address" microphones unlike a lot of small diaphragm condenser mic's they "listen" out the edge, not the end which makes them really handy for tight mic'ing situations.

Multi purpose or podcasting mic
Sennheiser MD421
Amazingly these mic's have been around for decades and they're still used every day by pro studios on any source! I love them on spoken word. If you're making a podcast, hire one of these!

Passive dual / stereo Direct box (DI)
ART dPDB
This DI is used to step down and balance line level sources before it hits the input on your mixing desk. Perfect for keyboards, DJ's & laptops. has ground lift switch which removes hum from noisy power supplies on most laptops.

Active Direct Injection box (DI)
Palmer PAN 02
Used to buffer and balance the signal from an electro-acoustic guitar or bass guitar before it hits the input on your mixer for a cleaner signal. Has an unprocessed output to connect through to your bass amp input.
Wash stage lighting
Chauvet core 3X1
These lovely compact stage lights create a slow changing wash of multi coloured light. As seen in the slideshow right. Can be mounted on speaker poles or sat on the floor using the built in stand. One pair available currently.




Moving head lights
Orbit 70 LED
These lights can react to sound, do a handful of pre-programmed movements or be controlled by DMX. In sound to light mode they look like this: Here I have four lights, three slaved off one master and two set up to mirror what the first two are doing. Hope you like the drumming, yes, it's me!
