[QUOTE="Thomas A(lbenberger), post: 89662, member: 403"] Re: Analog FOH, Outboard opinions/preferences Another post from Austria... I do mostly indie rock/pop clubs with a capacity up to 800, most of the time as the house sound guy, sometimes touring with bands. Where I come from, I can recall only one club above 500 capacity, that still uses an analog foh. (midas legend) It's sad to see all the large-frame analogue desks go away, if you ask me... To your main question: I think nothing changed in the last 10 years or so in regards to outboard equipment. 4x fx, one of it a tc d-two. Seriously, that's the only tap-delay nobody complains about. 8-12 comps, 6-8 gates. Get a few more, if you often feature multiple bands. Products with only 2 channels per rackspace preferred. no cheap shit, used analog is very affordable nowadays. Buy used but go for the best I woud say! 31-bands for every output way. dbx 1231 and up acceptable. cd-player Thats the baseline and i have not had a request for any special items like harmonizers, channel strips or such as long as i can remember in my clubs. What I would recommend further is a computer with internet connection for 2trk-recording, background music and the last-minute intro from the bands own youtube-clip... :-) You also need to interface with I-Pods and provide Talkback to stage, but you know that of course. One last thought: Don't assume that nobody will use his own desk. Get some easy way to interface with your gear - a submixer or a controller with sufficient in- and outputs, and also enough send and return lines from stage to FOH. Best Regards, Thomas [/QUOTE]
