Technical
Technical rider for the PA system and the sound technician, for the djembé.
- My equipment
- Sennheiser EW-D SK Base (wireless microphone for the djembé)
- Sennheiser in-ear monitor transmitter (or yours)
- I do not bring external antennas. If the receivers are far from the playing area, please provide them.
- PA configuration for in-ears
In my in-ears I would like to hear:
- the music from the DJ and other artists;
- my djembé or other electronic percussion pads;
- the sound of any other performing artists.
A little reverb and delay gives the djembé more body, and the djembé needs a bit of EQ. No djembé in the DJ's monitor.
- Power and space
- 2 power sockets
- 4 Duracell AA batteries, or another quality brand, as a backup
- 0.5 m x 0.5 m of free space near the DJ booth for the wireless receivers (open and pointed towards the crowd)
- 1 m x 1 m secured playing area, free from the crowd
- Sound limiters
Please note: sound limiters can mute or cut the music when I hit a pad or the djembé. Please adjust or switch off the limiter in advance.
- Mix for the crowd
The sound should sit nicely in the mix: not too quiet and not too loud. The crowd should notice the extra instrument without it being distracting.
Please monitor the sound throughout the performance.
- Staging
Dry, covered and on a stable platform, safely away from the audience. With free space in front of the DJ booth and within range of the wireless receivers (25 m).
