[QUOTE="Eric Cagle, post: 90801, member: 277"] Re: "Best" wedge(monitor) I ALWAYS talk to the soundman or stage manager days or weeks before each gig and go over the equipment and room or stage. We make sure we are BOTH comfortable with the gear being used. I never, never, never, have had even one problem with a rider come show time because it has been worked out. I am usually familiar with the space and the guy with the act knows what they actually need to be comfortable. This is a big one, MAKE SHURE THE RIDER AND STAGE PLOT ARE CURRENT! That is a problem I often run into that is easily corrected when I speak to a real person in charge. The bottom line is if the monitors pass the Evan test I am sure they will be usable for the BE in charge of them. Who knows, It might actually be one of us on the forum. I would be fine with anything he would use for the application. Silas, It wouldn't matter if the person in charge knew Evan or not. A couple of minutes speaking with him should convince them that he knows the gear and what will work well for the application. I never have any problems with that and we often decide on some gear that is not necessarily on the rider but is readily available and useful. I often use Mackie speakers for national acts for mains for some smaller applications if they will cover, granted they are the Fussion series. Think of all the "No Mackie" on riders. If I am actually talking to a real sound man it has not been a problem, and certainly not a problem after they use them. [/QUOTE]
