TECHNICAL / PRODUCTION & HOSPITALITY RIDER

Our goal for every production is to create a fully-immersive concert experience that engages all of the senses through adequate planning and attention to detail using synchronized state-of-the-art audio-visual systems We rely on this rider to make sure that everything we need to reach this goal is properly communicated and made available.
We travel with a Front-Of-House Sound Engineer and a Lighting/Video Director Kindly provide an FOH position centered in the middle of the audience for Audio, Lights and Video.
We travel with a Playback Engineer Kindly provide a position on-stage with a work desk that must be completely covered with a black cloth.
This position must be located either UpStageRight (USR) or UpStageLeft (USL) with a direct uninterrupted line-of-sight to the artist’s performance area (Anywhere around the centre and/or down stage)
Our sound engineer will operate an exclusive console for our portion of the event and should be allowed full access to all components of the sound systems to adjust as required.
In venues with fixed EQ please insert a 31 band 1/3 octave equalizer on the mains for our engineer to be able to adjust We also request that all inputs be reserved for our exclusive use from the sound check to the end of the event
The Front-Of-House console should be a high quality, large format digital console and should be positioned near the center of the venue, NOT under a balcony or in a closed/windowed booth.
Our console preference is in the following order; Yamaha PM10/PM7,PM5 OR PM3, CL5, Digico SD7,10/12, MIDAS (HD OR PRO Series), Avid S6L/Venue/Profile, Soundcraft Vi7000, with a minimum of 48 inputs available for our use only Kindly advise on which options are available.
We also prefer that the mixer has capabilities to connect to our Waves SuperRack set up (Either directly with a waves card or Madi-enabled) and should be running the latest firmware.
