This example includes the following equipment:
A
pair of SX
250 speakers with telescopic
stands and 75
foot cables.
The Electro-Voice SX250 is a high quality professional sound reinforcement speaker system. It will give accurate reproduction of speech and recorded music as well as live vocal and instruments. It has been designed to give even frequency response and sound distribution throughout its 80 degree horizontal and 55 degree vertical dispersion angles. The speaker system has a frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 KHz (-10db). The SX250 is a 350 watt (continuous) portable unit with a high efficiency of 99db with 1 watt at 1 metre. It can be mounted on a stand or permanently on a wall if desired.
The K&M 214/6 is a light weight, high quality black tripod speaker stand. This is a very reliable German made unit which extends from 4 feet to 7½ feet.
An
Allen & Heath W3-1602, 16 channel Stereo mixer with 7100 Power Amplifier.
The Allen & Heath W3-1602 is a 16 channel stereo mixer. All of the channels accept microphone or auxiliary inputs with individual volume controls for main and auxiliary 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 outputs. In addition to the 16 main channels, there are two stereo auxiliary inputs which can accept a stereo tape deck and a stereo CD player. Each channel also has its own four band equalizer, two with frequency sweep. The unit provides separate mixes for main speakers (stereo), and monitors. There are also five other mixes which could be used for other outputs such as tape recording and distribution speakers. In this manner it functions as seven mixers in one.
Each microphone channel has phantom power for condenser microphones plus a gain control, attenuation switch, low frequency roll off switch, channel ON button, peak indicator and Pre Fade Listen button for individual channel monitoring.
The W3-1602 has two internal digital effects processors. They can operate as two fully independent processors or combined as one stereo unit. This is a rare feature in a mixer, which saves hundreds of dollars in outboard equipment.
The unit is simple to operate but has the flexibility required to do professional theatre quality sound. Being a British board, it has world renowned British EQ. Studio and live sound technicians around the world prefer the British tone controls because of the way they are tapered. This controls the sound in a better way than American and other technologies..
Six
C535EB
microphones with 25
foot broadcast quality cables and high quality telescopic boom
stands.
The AKG C535 is an excellent vocal and instrument condenser microphone. It has a very smooth response with a slight rise in the 7-12KHz range to give it some presence. This microphone has a low proximity effect producing a natural sound up close or at any distance. It is therefore an excellent choice for multi-purpose applications where it might be used at various distances. The C535 is a great sounding microphone which is very versatile and forgiving. It fits nicely into both the performance and studio categories.
The Digiflex C25XXC4 is a broadcast quality, highly flexible, 25 foot microphone cable. It is double balanced to provide the highest possible electrical noise reduction.
The K&M 210/9 is a high quality, telescopic folding floor microphone stand with a telescopic boom arm. It is finished in chrome and folds to a very compact size for storage. The stand in made in Germany and is very stable and reliable.
A
WMS450
State of the art Wireless Microphone System with CMH2000T Head Microphone.
The WMS450 is an excellent UHF wireless head or lapel system. It is a true diversity system with removable antennae providing reliable operation in any room. The receiver operates at a frequency away from any radio interference and has a very tightly controlled bandwidth making it very selective. This allows you to use up to 12 systems without cross talk. It also provides high rejection of noise. We usually sell the system with a tiny CK77WRL omni-directional lapel microphone or CMH2000 Ultra-Light Head-worn microphone. Both of these provide excellent sound reproduction. The system has many nice features including a removable microphone, automatic battery indicator on the transmitter and receiver, and a balanced microphone or line level output. The WMS450 is a very advanced, automatic system. The receivers program themselves by scanning the area for unused frequency channels. They then set themselves up on available frequencies. The WMS450 is an excellent wireless system for its low price.
Four
DI25
Direct Interface cables to connect musical instruments to microphone
jacks.
The Direct Connect cable is a 25 foot cable with a mic connector on one end and a 1/4 inch phone connector with built in transformer on the other end. It plugs into a keyboard, guitar, VCR etc. and converts from the high impedance unbalanced signal out of the instrument to low impedance balanced mic level. The other end plugs into a standard microphone jack. This cable enables you to plug any instrument into any microphone jack without picking up hum and electrical interference.
A 50 foot, 12
Channel Microphone Snake.
This is a high quality 12 channel snake with Neutrik XLR type male connectors on one end and female on the other. It is used to connect the microphone cables at the front of the room to the mixer at the back.
Four Hot Spot Compact Monitor speakers with 75 foot and 25 foot cables plus a 7100 amplifier to power them with two separate monitor mixes.
The Galaxy Hot Spot is a very efficient, compact monitor speaker. It's high impedance and high efficiency make it ideal for multiple monitor situations. The unit can sit on the floor or mount on a microphone stand for close use. The frequency response is tailored for monitor application. It has a rolled off low frequency making it poor for general sound reproduction, but good for a vocal monitor.
The Electro-Voice 7100 is a clean, quiet two channel power amplifier. It delivers 100 watts per channel with wide power bandwidth, low distortion and full load and amplifier protection. This makes it an excellent choice for live sound reinforcement in mid sized applications. Each channel has an independent gain control and balanced and unbalanced inputs.
Four
high quality folding music
stands.
All the electronics, microphones,and cables fit inside a rolling rack which you can store in a room, or load onto a truck.
