Live Sound Overview
In this lesson we were taught the basic components of a live performance set up. In order to learn about the necessary equipment we were tasked with producing a 'shopping list' for a pa system that could be used in a pub with two vocalists that represented value for money.
We found the Wharfdale DM 600 System for £299.00.
This bundle included:
AM600 Mixer 6 channels (covered by carpet for durability when being transported!)
2 x 12" speakers
DM10 Microphone with cabling
Additional equipment needed included:
2 x speaker leads £4.99
VC1 Dynamic Microphone x 2 @ £9.00
Kinsman Mic stand x 2 @ £19.99
speaker stand x 2 @ £35
We presented our findings to the class and concluded that for just over £300 a budget PA system could be bought.
I am familiar with the live setup as my parents used to be pub and club singers and were often on the road gigging. When I was younger I would help carry equipment such as mic stands and monitors around and observe their basic set up. As my mum still likes to sing, we have a basic PA setup in our house where my mum can rehearse. Due to my upbringing I am very conscious of what makes a good live sound.
