Experience with a wide variety of music, venues, stages and PA systems,  integrating systems into venues for the best sound, and troubleshooting gear & acoustics.

    

 

Systems

Logic Ethos CA/Nd rigs. Good sound quality over a wide area. Even at quiet levels, the sound is very good. As is the ability to go loud when needed — with low distortion & bags of headroom for the very loud bits

 

K-Array 202/102  Two metre long slim line-arrays and 18" subs. Just about the most invisible PA system there is. Perfect for classical, folk and roots amplification. Lovely sound, without the beefier look of traditional systems. The sound quality is maintained over a wide area, and at quiet levels, too unusually. Can go loud, much more so than other 'stick' systems...

 

Stage-sound 

The hd 12CXN is a high-performance monitor with a coaxial driver arrangement and has created a new standard for professional applications
A newly developed 12″/1.4″ coaxial loudspeaker with double neodymium magnet system, with 3″ voice coils for LF and HF each, achieves excellent impulse behaviour thanks to the decoupling of both magnet systems, and due to the low separation at 900 Hz, the monitor sounds clear and transparent
The acoustic performance of the new 12″ coaxial driver is comparable to the usual 15” stage rider models - with drastically reduced dimensions

 

Vocals

Shure SM58, Neumann KMS 105, Heil PR35 – a lovely sound with superior feedback and stage-sound rejection

 

Instruments 

Condensers – small and  large diameter

Dynamics – clip-on, drum, guitar, double-bass, brass

DI boxes – passive and active

​

Engineering

Proper mixing needs constant attention, something that's  missing at many concerts
And I like to hae acoustic acts sounding real - and that includes not too loud
