Arguing over what should be provided by us at our board meeting. What should a small house be reasonably expected to provide for rentals and musical acts?
Currently we have a PA system with a mixer, compressors/limiters, DriveRack PA+, several amplifiers, six speakers (two FOH, two fill, two acting as subwoofers), two monitor amplifiers with four channels total, monitor speakers, microphone stands, SM58 vocal microphones, SM57 instrument microphones, DI boxes, adapters and cables. We also have two ribbon snakes to connect to our larger house snakes on stage left and stage right.
You can't really rent stuff in our area - so we have enough for most of the local musical acts.
We have had requests for wireless microphones - but I'd rather not spend that much money - we don't really have it to spare. Are wireless microphones considered a normal item to provide for renters and visiting artists?
Should we fly some microphones for choral acts and musical theatre? Our house is small and most trained singers (and many untrained ones) can easily fill the house with enough sound.
We're in line to get a grant for our sound system - to replace what we've been renting and upgrade a little bit. I don't want to have any more arguing.
