[QUOTE="Alan Hamilton, post: 125163, member: 1799"] Re: Bluegrass festival Some bands will want just one mic.... Some bands will carry that one mic... Think large diaphragm type mic. Be prepared. Not everyone, if anyone, will have instruments with pickups. Be prepared to mic several acoustic instruments if they aren't a '1 mic' kinda bluegrass band. Don't forget your HPF, especially in mon world. Mons can get interesting. Don't try and give them too much, let them tell you what they need and don't push it. Lots of potential for feedback if you don't mind your P's and Q's.... which is true of FOH as well. Some might not even want mons on. I remember one bluegrass festival I did and one of the many groups that hadn't provided an input list was prepping offstage while another band was on. I asked them about their stage setup and one of them quickly gave me a verbal input list while pointing- "Pickin' mic, sangin' mic... pickin' mic, sangin' mic, pickin' mic, sangin' mic...." :) Told me exactly what I needed to know... ;) [/QUOTE]
