My gear.

Indoor Rig

My indoor rig is built around an Allen & Heath digital mixer, the 48-channel SQ5.

 

This is paired with the 24-channel stage box, an Allen & Heath AR2412 digitally connected with a  50m Cat 5 reel. Both A&H devices are protected in heavy-duty Flight Cases.

 

Sound is output through a pair of Electro-Voice 1000-watt ZLX12Ps supplemented by the highly capable 1300W EKX15SP subwoofer.

 

I have 4 SubZero C15MA 1000W wedge monitors used as appropriate.

 

I use several Shure SM58 & SM57 mics as well as AKG Stage Mics, the P3S, P4, D5, D7 & C5.

 

I also own a Shure PGA Drumkit7 Drum Mic Kit. Radial PRO48 And 2 x Radial PRO DI provide instrument connections. K&M Mic Stands are supplied with 10's of XLR leads recently purchased and regularly tested with a Sound Bullet audio lead tester.

​

I have four Sennheiser XSW2 handheld mics, two XSW lapel mics or headsets and 4 receivers connected via AKG APS4 Antenna Combiner for Wireless Microphones. I also have an annual Ofcom licence to operate the mics in the shared frequency band of  606 to 614 MHz If the wireless environment is too congested I am able to request frequencies from 622-630MHz at fairly short notice and for a nominal fee of around £50.

 

I also have 4 XSM IEM transmitters and 4 XSW IEM body packs. They are connected via an RF Venue Combine4. I use 2 x Sennheiser Paddle Aerials for the mics and an RF Venue CP Beam antenna for the IEMs. Frequencies for the IEMs are booked from Ofcom for a nominal fee per frequency. 
 

For System Processing I use the DBX Driverack PA2 system which includes both speaker management and feedback prevention. I use Studio tools suite of audio software, including the SMAART suite, to provide me with the information to ensure every show meets the highest standards.  

​

Outdoor Rig

I have an Allen & Heath MixWizzard3 16:2 analogue mixer with a Skytec 1000w amp (both in flight cases) and two EV ZLX 12's 1000 passive speakers for external use,   2 x EV ZLX 8" Passive Speakers for foldback and 4 x Devine SPE25/10 10-Metre Speaker Cable.

 

I have a PA amplifier with Neutrik connectors to aid configuration depending on speaker distance.

 

Also, for the outdoors, I have 2 Speaker Stands by K&M, 2 Heavy Duty Mic Stands by K&M, ground anchors and security cables, a pair of Audio Technica AT2020 Large Diaphragm Condenser Mics, 2 x Samson CO2 Pencil Condenser Mic's, a K&M Dual Mic bar for the Samson Mics and a rack mounted DBX 266XS rack mounted gate/compressor.  I own 20M & 50m Analog Snakes.

 

I also have 1 x 50M 4 way power lead and 3 x 20M 4 way power leads.

Instruments

I also own a Studiologic SL88 Weighted keyboard, a Ketron SD1000 professional midi module and can provide them for an additional fee if required.​​

​

I've taken photos of the kit below; however, I've used stock photos instead of taking my own for some items. I also own some safety mats and strips for cable covering.
