Video requirements

 

- Ictus will bring

the screen/canvas.

- The organisator should provide

This one should be hanged in the middle of the hall.

 

 

Sound requirements

 

We need a small mixing table just for amplifying the guitar.

This can be following material.

Other suggestions should be checked by Alex Fostier.

 

-       Yamaha O1v or other(juste for one microphone)

-       2 little speakers (to put on stage, one as monitor for the keyboard, one next to the guitare for the public)

-       1 guitar microphone Sennheiser E609 (or something similar)

-       1 low micro stand

-       as the control booth is more than 6 meters from the stage, we need an jack and audio cable extinction (for on old microphone and an old speaker going to an old amplifier that needs to be at the controle booth)

-       1 cd player

 

 

Placement of the control booths

 

Sound, Light and Video control booths are to be located in the hall. By no means will it be acceptable to place either of the three in a booth separated from the hall.

All three take up a total of minimum 3 meter in length: block sufficient places for this.
