RECKLESS SUMMER has a very simple stage setup. We use a self-contained In Ear Monitor System. All guitars and bass utilize amplifier/cabinet/effect modeling technology which are run along with the drums and vocal microphones direct to a splitter box within or IEM rack with one tail going to our IEM mixer (SoundCraft Ui24R digital mixer) and the other tail given to the sound engineer for FOH with 20 output channels. The venue only needs to put their stage snake within 10 feet of the IEM mixer to receive all mic/line signals. All guitars, keyboards and bass use no amplification on stage to help minimize stage volume. We will provide our own drum and vocal microphones. 3 Vocal Microphones Boom stands will be required from the venue. In-Ear Monitor transmitters and receivers are provided by RECKLESS SUMMER.
