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 6 SubZero C15MA 1000W wedge monitors used as appropriate. I use several AKG Stage Mics, the P3S, P4, D5, D7 & C5. I have four Sennheiser XSW2 handheld mics, two XSW lapel mics or headsets and 4 receivers and 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 body packs. They are connected via an RF Venue Connect4. 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.  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 use the Open Sound Meter software to measure the room together with 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 analog mixer with a Skytec 1000W amp (both in flight cases) and two EV ZLX 12's 1000 W passive speakers for external use, and 4 x Devine SPE25/10 10-Metre Speaker Cable, 2x2.5mm 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 a 50m Analog Snake. I also have 1 x 50M 4 way power lead and 3 x 20M 4 way power leads.

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

If you have the need of an RF engineer my recent experience building the system puts me in good stead for running radio mics and IEM’s as an RF engineer.

I've taken photos of the kit below; however, some items went into storage before photographing, so I've used stock photos instead. I also own some safety mats and strips for cable covering.
