Digital Music System: For the clearest sound, great flexibility, and lightest weight you can't go wrong with digital sound based on Software Audio Console (SAC) software from RML Labs.
This system has 24 input channels with XLR preamps. All mixing is done with keyboard and mouse. Each channel has a 5 band parametric EQ with hi & lo pass, compressor, noise gate, and 6 aux sends. All EQ, Effects, and assignments are done within the digital mixer, with no siderack equipment. Each monitor mix has its own mixer screen so monitors are controled independently of house sound. Usually the system is set at stage side so performers or a monitor sound guy can adjust monitor mixes. This system has up to 12 stereo outputs that drive mains, subs, 6 monitor mixes, and house sends as needed. The stage side picture shows system on top of eight channels of power amp for left, right, left sub, right sub, M1, M2, M3, & M4. Any combination of amps & speakers are available from two tops, two monitors up to 6 tops, two subs, and 6 monitors. Mics, cord and stand are provided based on size of performance
It gets better. Front of House (FOH) sound is controlled from a notebook computer wirelessly connected to SAC. So FOH can be any place with no audio snakes or even power plugs. The notebook (with a 10h battery life) can go any place within 1000 feet of stage.
