Title: Acoustic Syndicate/onstage mics????
Post by: charles on January 18, 2005, 08:57:19 PM

Syndicate ir playing here in two weeks and I should have a pair of cm300's with cp2 omni caps. The venue is shit...Zydeco in B'ham if anyone knows it. Very low ceilling and very crowded usually. So, I was thinking about running onstage omni's. If never done this before...so I was curious  if anyone had suggestions. Also wanted to see if amyone here had ever run onstage mics with Syndicate and if they would let me do it. Thanks in advance for help.

Running onstage with Syndicate probably would not be the best idea.  I have not tried it, but they have a very electric sound, which is not represented well onstage.

I would ask Chris Mitchell, FOH, for a SBD patch.  I have gotten one at every single AS show I have attended.  Chris runs some kind of Yamaha mixer, and it has every type of output imaginable.

That's what I would do.

Good Luck!

Plus the vocals wont be too clear if you run onstage. I saw them last friday and your definitely in for a good show. They were on fire, even had Larry Keel join them onstage a couple of times. Typically the sound at The Marrz theater is alright but since acoustic syndicate brought their own sbd to mix, it was much better this time.

Yeah. Looking like sbd is the only option here. There's no way I'm running mics out in the crowd....all you'd hear is talking. +T Neumannkid

they don't usually let on stage since their stage volume is low (in ear's being used)...so I'll second the sbd.

have fun

they usually have a digital SBD patch available, TOSLINK or coaxial.
