Back 2 Miami standard stage layout with power drops and stage boxes indicated.
This is the standard stage layout used by the band (space permitting), however they are very flexible and can/will change to suit the venue on the night.
Standard sound feeds are:-
The Main PA left and right stacks get full mixes.
The Stage Side fills get a blend that is biased towards brass section but includes vocals and keyboards.
The Drum monitor get a reasonably balanced mix that is predominantly drums but carries some vocals and brass . On large stages the drummer requests more keyboards, brass and vocals.
The Brass section have their own IEMS running a mono feed with mostly brass (well balanced but dominant sax) with a spot of keys and vocals adding but not loud in the mix.
The Vocal section have their own IEMS running a mono feed with mostly a vocals mix that is balanced but has a dominant lead singer. The lead singer changes every two numbers so this has to be watched closely (Sandra has loudest vocals, Eddie second with Cheryl the quietest).
Inputs are:-
- 3 Vocal mics,
- 3 Brass section mics + 1 DI (Alto Sax not always used),
- 8 drum mics,
- 2 DI’s on keyboards,
- Bass Guitar has DI out,
- Lead Guitar is mic’ed and DI’d (DI is before any effects and it is used to trigger the vocal harmonizer).
