PEAVEY (R) DELTAFX EFX unit. A top end FX rack 32 digital EFX with full control on wet/dry mix, depth, time, level, etc. A very good general purpose FX unit for vocals aind instrumental effects.
SURE (R) SM58 XLR series Beta radio microphone. One of the best, great clarity, intelligent channel selection, (40ch), great feedback rejection. Full diversity. An outstanding radio microphone for performing or public speaking.
We have AMERICAN AUDIO (R) 300 and 500 series dual cart CD players. The 300 series has jog and shuttle, speed control, looping and “Q Start”. The 500 series also includes seamless looping, memory cue, BPM counter.
We are fortunate to have obtained a supply of one of the heavy duty “Rolls Royces” of speaker systems. The ELECTROVOICE (R) SH/DH series combo towers. We have the SH18 ER, an 18″ reverse scoop horn loaded design sub-woofer that is fat fat fat. It can be hired as a stand alone unit, or a stand alone pair (if you want to drill through the floor). We also hire the complete combo tower which consists of the SH18ER for low range, the SH10ER for mids and a super high efficiency 2″ EV DH2 horn for the highs. This speaker assembly has two great things going for it. The sound quality speaks for itself, ELECTROVOICE is hardly known for second rate speakers! But…. the efficiency of the system is phenominal, averaging out at around 106dB/watt! Four towers being supplied with 3000 watts of input total will power up a 1000 person outdoor gig with ease! Obviously these speakers suit the pro market.
Wharfedale are known more for speakers, bt in recent years they have been producing a range of effects processors, mixers and amplifiers. This is a nice little product from Warfedale, a digital effects rack with 16 effects. We often use this little rack as an insert patch on a vocal or instrument and have very respectable results. A good one if your rack gear is short of an EFX unit.
Another of the great range of RODE microphones. The NT3 is very well suited for general recording purposes (we have had very good results on vocals with the NT3) and for “milking” sound from choirs, actors etc. It is also an EXCELLENT live vocal microphone! The NT3 has a nice feature, as well as operating on 48V phantom power it can be operated by a 9V battery which is installed in the microphone. This means the NT3 can be used in situations where no mains power is available. This is a great microphone for video cameras. Use it with a “dead cat” for superior outdoor audio tracks.
This is the “little” MACKIE power amp. Many applications such as powering small but relatively sophisticated pa systems where a mixer and effects/equalisation units are required. We often hire this amp to run bridged into a 4 Ohm sub-woofer. Like all MACKIE power amps, it comes with great on board features, adjustable high band pass filter from 20Hz to 150Hz cut off on each channel, “thru” jacks so it can be ganged with other amps, stero/mono/bridge operation.
A favourite in the portable pa system range. The MIPRO MA-707 is a 60 watt battery or mains powered pa system that has a multitude of uses, especially where no mains power is available. This system comes with a radio lapel microphone or a hand held radio microphone. You can also connect an additional cable microphone and CD/mp3/iPod etc for music anywhere. Built in cassette deck.
We hire DPA lapel microphones. These are broadcast quality omnidirectional extremely small and discreet lapels with performance plus. DPA lapel microphones can be used on traditional cables or attached to back pack radio transmitters. They are so versatile they can be used for public speaking, choir, plays, ‘bugging’ acoustic instruments. They have a kit of special attachments for violins, acoustic guitars, woodwind brass instruments.
Specialist set of drum microphones for kick, toms, snare. We usually use the large diaphram JTS drum mics in combination with SURE SM57′s and RODE NT5′s to mic up a whole kit.
12 channel mixer with on board effects and graphic EQ. Tape in/out, 4 x auxilliary sends, phantom power. All you need for a middle sized pa system set up.
