MICROPHONE:

We require the use of the venue PA. The speakers should be positioned front of house left and house right The show will run off Qlab. We will be touring the Macbook pro to run this.

A control position with open windows or otherwise non-soundproof is preferred. Failing this adequate show relay must be provided to allow clear monitoring of playback levels. We require the use of one SM58 style vocal mic and reverb unit if this is not possible please contact the Stage Manager to discuss In venues with a capacity of more than 400 we may need to use in house float microphones
