Stage plan
Monitoring: in-ears run by the band
We all play on in-ear monitors and run our own mixes on our Presonus 32R, controlled from our phones. For this we need a splitter (provided by the organiser) feeding every source to both your front-of-house console and ours. The click and cue of the backing tracks (B-Beat jack outputs) stay in our monitors: only the stereo backing goes to FOH.
Sources
- Guitars: Fractal Audio FM9 (Julien) and FM3 (Val), direct XLR outputs, no amps on stage.
- Backing tracks: M-Live B-Beat player, 4 jack outputs (stereo backing, click, cue).
- Bass: one DI, from you or we bring our Radial.
- Drums: acoustic kit with two toms and a floor tom, mics from you (list above).
- Lead vocals: one mic, with delay and reverb from the desk (otherwise Éric's TC-Helicon VoiceLive Play pedal).
Power
Up to 7 outlets on stage: 2 for Julien (FM9 and pedal), 1 for Val, 1 for Ben, 1 for Teuf (B-Beat), 1 for the Presonus 32R, and 1 for Éric's effects pedal, only if he doesn't use the desk effects. 48 V phantom power is needed on the bass DI channel.
What to plan
A PA with a console and an engineer (or ours, if agreed in advance), the splitter for our monitors, drum mics and the DIs needed. For setup and soundcheck, email us with the venue details and we'll adapt.
