After many years of owning no live gear of my own, I’ve begun to put together a small collection of equipment. Though I will always turn to long time relationships with full service production companies for any large event that comes my way; I’ve long wanted to have some gear that I can use to do smaller events on my own, in my own way, as the need arises. Here’s some of what’s in current inventory:
- Rational Acoustics SMAART 8 with audio interface and measurement microphone (travels with me everywhere)
- Android and iOS tablets (travel with me everywhere)
- Soundcraft SI Impact console with 32ch stagebox (48+ channel upgrade coming soon)
- Behringer XR16
- Microphone and stand kit: assorted mics & DIs from Shure, Electro Voice, Sennheiser, CAD, Audio Technica, Radial. Generic and name brand mic stands, an abundance of mic cable.
- Electro Vocie ELX112Ps with stands.
I continue to maintain a small mix & edit studio, Frugal Control, used & upgraded from time to time for special projects for clients and friends. It’s always a work in progress, but here’s some of what I use:
