 +====== Equipment ======
 +
 +
 +This is an incomplete listing of the equipment used by the L'Amoreaux CI Stage Crew. Someone email me at tonytash+wiki@pm.me if this list changes and I'll update it.

 +===== Mixers =====
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Yorkville AP812 ====
 +
 +{{file:ap812.png}}
 +
 +The bigger mixer used during events such as school play and talent show.
 +  *  It has 8 XLR/TRS inputs for microphones or instruments, and 2 stereo RCA/TRS for music and such.
 +  *  There are 2x 400W amps, and it can be used under a L/R config in stereo with 400W a speaker, or main/monitor config, in mono with 200W a speaker for FOH, and 200W for monitor speakers.
 +
 +some specific notes
 +  *  If you exceed the output power for too long, then it will cut out and cut the bass if the amp warms up too much, and will sound terrible
 +  *  I'm also pretty sure one of our rca inputs is dead, and bypasses the volume slider. Probably an issue with dust or something in the fader if I had to guess.

 +
 +
 +==== Yamaha Stagepas 500i ====
 +
 +This is the more common mixer that lives in the sound cart. It is from a Stagepas Mixer/Speaker combo kit. It has 4x XLR inputs, and 2x stereo TRS/RCS inputs. 
 +
 +  *  Usually we use 2x XLR for wired mics at assemblies, and I moved the wireless mics that support XLR to use channel 3/4 (instead of 1/4", where it mixed up mic/line level signals).
 +
 +  *  The 2 main speaker outputs are wired directly.
 +
 +
 +===== Microphones =====
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Sennheiser e835 ====
 +
 +These are our main wired workhorse mics. They are used at most assemblies.
 +I personally quite like the usability and sound signature of these. I suppose they are an SM58 competitor.
 +
 +
 +==== Sennheiser Handheld Wireless ====
 +
 +Though I don't quite have a model number, this is one that was previously broken that we had in a drawer. 
 +I 'fixed' it with some tape and aluminum foil on the battery contacts and it worked better then our other mics.
 +As opposed to the other wireless mics, the main advantage was much better sound.
 +It also used VHF so there is a non zero change it's not allowed under newer FCC rules. IDK we're in Canada though...
 +
 +
 +==== Shure Headset Wireless ====
 +
 +Another mic we found with the Sennheiser. This is a headset type, it also has a bigger receiver.
 +It's one of the much older mic packs with analog channel switches.
 +This definitely uses older VHF spectrum. oops.
 +
 +
 +===== Speakers =====
 +
 +
 +
 +==== Yamaha Stagepas 500 ====
 +
 +These smaller speakers were what we used for most assemblies. With the exception of the shows, where I usually deployed them as monitor speakers, we used them as the main "FOH" speakers despite being behind the audience in the market square.
 +Side note: Speakers in the back facing forward means bonus feedback.
 +
 +
 +==== Yorkville NX300 ====
 +
 +These are the bigger speakers we used for shows. They are also passive and need an amp to drive them.
