Musicians’ Equipment List

Electric Violinist:

• One Mesa Boogie Mark IV – guitar combination amplifier. Unit must have a record output (output to be used for FOH sound reinforcement and recording, where applicable). One, or two, 12” speaker drivers in cabinet only – combi amp should be small enough because it will live onstage, just upstage of the solo violin position.
• Several 15ft. 1/4” (jack) cables to connect Electric Violin output to combi amp
• Clean 110V AC sound power at downstage soloist position
• One AC power strip to power Mesa Boogie and Electric Violin processor unit, if used.

Two Sampler Musicians:

• Two Kurzweil K2500X (or K2600X) 88-note keyboard version –
  Each with minimum 8Mb sample RAM
• Two keyboard combination amplifiers (amp and speaker together) –
  Each with 15 inch speaker driver, or larger, recommended
• Two single-tier keyboard stands
• One Iomega 100Mb (or 250Mb) external SCSI ZIP drive, with SCSI cable.
• Two audio volume pedals (not continuous controller pedals!!)
• Two sustain pedals for Kurzweil samplers
• Four 15ft 1/4” jack cables to connect samplers to pedals, then onto combi amps
• Several AC power strips and AC extensions for samplers and combi amps

Sound Reinforcement Requirements
(with recommended manufacturers+models)

Console (recommended model):

• Midas Venice (or Heritage),
  minimum 24-input channel console with four-band sweepable EQ per input channel.
  Mix position must be in house, not in a sound booth.

PA Loudspeakers (recommended models):

• four Meyer CQ-1P - two per side, used in stereo, for Main PA
• four Meyer UPM-1P, used in stereo, for Front Fills

Monitoring:

• one hotspot monitor (must have volume adjustment on unit)
  for conductor, mounted on mic stand
• one wedge monitor for solo violin position

FOH processing:

• Six channels of 31-band 1/3oct gEQ – BSS or Klark Technik
  (two for CQ's, two for UPM's and two for monitoring)
• Four INPUT channels of time alignment delay - for the four channels of PA – BSS or XTA
• One Lexicon PCM-91 / Lex 300 / 480XL w/ LARC, reverb unit
• One Lexicon PCM-81 (or similar) multi-effect processor

Microphones (nine mics and three D.I.):

• one 170, or sim., air mic for electric violin's Mesa Boogie guitar amp
• four KM140 for strings
• two KM140 for two harps
• two C414 for piano
• two D.I. for two Kurzweil samplers
• one D.I. for electric violin
• boom-style stands for all above mics (and hotspot)

The strings, harp and piano reinforcement is not required, but highly recommended. The conductor will need to hear the samplers periodically – such as, sampler pulse at the beginning of the second movement.
