The following is the list of parts needed to support the sound for a performance of EPAC Kids outside the theater.

  • 4 x Vocal mics
  • 2 x Unipoint mics
  • 8 x 25’  XLR lines
  • 6 x mic stands
  • 2 x monitor speakers
  • 2 x main speakers
  • 2 x speaker stands
  • 3 x 25’ speaker lines
  • 1 x 50’ speaker line
  • 1 x Gemini CD player in carrying case
  • 1 x portable CD player with patch cord and batteries
  • 1 x 6’ RCA to 1/4” patch cord
  • 1 x Mackie-14 mixer in carrying case
  • 1 x Crown amp in rack
  • 1 x 4-space storage drawer in rack
  • 2 x 5’ TRS to XLR patch cords
  • 1 x 50’ extension cord
  • 2 x orange power blocks
  • 2 x IEC power cords
  • 1 x Storage bucket

The following are the steps needed to connect this system:

  • Turn the mixer, amp and CD player all off
  • Plug the extension cord into a power source, orange power blocks into the cord
  • Run the IEC cords from orange power block to the amp and mixer
  • Plug the CD player cord into orange power block
  • Place the 6 mic stands
  • Put the 2 unipoint and 4 vocal mics into stands
  • Run an XLR line from each mic to channels 1-6 on the mixer
  • Run the patch cord from the CD player to the Left jack on 2 stereo mixer channels
  • Run a TRS to XLR patch from the mixer Left Main out to amp input 1
  • Run a TRS to XLR patch from mixer Aux-1-Send to amp input 2
  • Place the speaker stands, put a main speaker on each stand
  • Run a 50’ speaker line from one main speaker to the other
  • Run a 25’ speaker line from the 2nd main speaker to amp output 1
  • Run a 25’ speaker line from one monitor to the other
  • Run a 25’ speaker line from the 2nd monitor to amp output 2
  • Power up, test and go

Notes:

  • Store and transport the CD players in the aluminum carrying case to prevent damage and keep dirt out of them
  • Wrap all cables with the ‘figure 8’ method and tie them. Do NOT just stuff them into the storage bucket or wind them around your elbow.
  • For the July 29th performance, leave everything at the park since most of it will be used for Shakespeare at the park.
