Sound System Information (for venues)

- Stage area should be adequate for the number of musicians (usually 5) playing the show.

- Coffee House: The MG doesn't own our own PA system. We have instrument amplifiers (including for Ben's singing) for small venues.

-House Concert: A house concert up to 20 audience members generally requires no amplification. More audience members will require "coffee house" style amplification as described above.

- Outdoors: We have an FM radio transmitter system that can work well for outdoor performances if the venue can provide a number of "boom boxes" to distribute around the area. For an outdoor show, we require at least 2 monitor speakers, with at least 1 monitor mix.

- Other venues:

For clubs, ballrooms, theaters, etc. we require at least 2 monitor speakers, with at least 1 monitor mix.

- Outputs from our microphones and direct boxes:

Guitar - 1 XLR output from L.R. Baggs direct box.
Trumpet - 1 XLR microphone output from our bell-mounted trumpet mic.
Bass - 1 balanced direct line out from bass amp (or you can mic the amp's speaker).
Saxophone or Fiddle - 1 sm57 with boom stand.
Vocals - 3 Sure SM58 microphones with boom stands.
