Re: Fashion showsThey're pretty simple really -- get good coverage of the audience with a DJ/commercial-style sound (good bass, clarity on top). Probably a wireless mic, CD and ipod inputs. In my experience there's some talking before and after, but mostly its just continuous music. 2 things to be extra careful about: 1) Visuals are more important than you are. They won't want any speakers visible. And the stage will be weirdly shaped. I did one where the stage was 150' wide by 8' deep. So you'll have to think hard about where to place the speakers. They want clear sight-lines from all sides. 2) Make sure its clear who is providing the music and what format it is in. Its the type of gig where they'll sometimes just assume you're a DJ too, and have perfect music on you at all times. Clarifying that they provide it ahead of time can be really important (unless you are providing it).
