[QUOTE="Adam Kane, post: 2124, member: 529"] Received a rider this morning that I'm still laughing at... Event is some sort of back-to-school program...no other details. They need power amps, some monitors, and a CD player. No mention of mics or a mixer. Stage plot shows the stage (with nothing on it) and a diagram of the audience area with a speaker at each corner, all four facing inward toward the center of the audience. In the center of the audience is: "Create a vortex with the sound emitting from the speakers." Other misc stuff on this one: "The sound needs to be equal to that of a concert" "A good rule-of-thumb is 1 watt per audience member" "If the program is outdoors, the wattage should be doubled" "Plan on using more, rather than fewer speakers" "Please be prepared with spare fuses in case we blow them during the show" "A sound system consists of speakers, amplifier, microphones, and a CD player" (No mixer needed I guess??) "Any brand is good" "The speakers should be directional speakers without much bass response" Trying to get in touch with the "performer(s)" to see what we're in for and if its worth messing with...
