Vocal. We assume that there is a well sized PA system provided for the concert room with sufficient power to supply a clean and undistorted 110dB SPL RMS to the mixing desk and a powerful and feedback-proof monitor system. It is very important that the singer, keyboardist and the drummer and percusionist each have their own monitor speakers with separate mixes. (so 4) For venues over 300 people we will need four extra monitors for the guitar players and two sidefills for really large venues. The minimal set up for small venues (Xxxxx States Acoustic without the Undertakers), up to 100 people (microphones are a preference, equivalent is acceptable) PERCUSSION OVERHEAD L – AKG C414 OR XXXXXX KM185 OVERHEAD R – AKG C414 OR XXXXXX KM185 BASSDRUM – AKG C414 CAHUN – SM58 SPARE- SM58 ACOUSTIC GUITAR MAIN MIC – SHURE BETA 98H/C CLIP ELEMENT- D.I.

ELEMENT VOCALS LEAD – SM58 BACKING – SM58 BACKING 2 - SM58 PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR STAGEPLAN. STAFF We will need a qualified sound engineer, stage technician and lights technician. At the moment we do not have a regular engineer, so we depend heavily on the staff on-site. SOUND & LIGHTING We prefer an overall natural sound with minimal processing and effects. The drums need not have clicky attack sounds, please use gates only when unavoidable and with great care. The vocals are best left with a little bit reverberation, maybe a bit of a very short delay on the male singer and if possible the use of parallel compression (2, preferably 3). The lead singer has a very dark voice with a large dynamic range, please use the parallel compression when poss...
Vocal technique includes the study of breathing, vowel formation, articulation, consonant formation, and application to the compositions being sung.
