ATTACHMENT A
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
Blood, Sweat, Tears; Earth, Wind, Fire ... and a Little Chicago.
General:
In our experience we have for the most part found the house techs/sound companies as
provided by host orchestras to be highly competent professionals who know and understand
the needs of their orchestra and their performance venue. As such we are comfortable in
trusting their recommendation and expertise. Conceptually all Jeans `n Classics productions
are designed to feature the sound of the orchestra and as such the band and the orchestra
should be equally sharing the musical picture as opposed to the orchestra being mixed into
the back ground. The following are simply guidelines.
Strings
• Contact mics on all strings is ideal
• If impossible separate mics per player or minimally 1 mic per desk
Winds
• One mic per wind
Brass
• One mic per brass instrument
Percussion
• Individual mics on the congas/bongos area
• Ambient mics on the "toys" for wind chime, tambourine etc, where the player can
approach the mic
• Individual mics on the vibes/marimbas area
• Timpani and bass drums may or may not need ambient mics depending on the venue
Monitors
• Generally we are trying to create a quiet on-stage sound in order to give front-of-house
the optimum orchestral head-room. Therefore in-ear monitor systems are ideal for the
band and vocalists. (Some of our personnel will bring their own in-ear monitors).
• If an in-ear system is not possible:
o Small wedge monitors are required across the front line for the vocalists;
• one monitor in the area of the drummer/ebass;
• one monitor for the pianist; and one for the Conductor.
• If you have additional monitors they would be beneficial near the brass
and percussion sections.
• Note — It is very important that the monitor operator be sensitive to the orchestra in
keeping the monitor levels as low as our personnel are comfortable with.
o A set of scores can be provided for the soundman if required in order to follow
the arrangements.
