Minimum Channel Configuration

If channel count is constrained, the band can deliver a full show on as few as 11 channels (with Leslie): Kick, Snare top, OH L, OH R (4), Bass DI (1), Guitar amp (1), Keys L/R (2), Leslie top + bottom (2), and one shared talkback vocal (1). If channels are very tight, the Leslie can be omitted entirely, bringing the floor to 9 channels.

Engineer Notes

All mic models listed are preferred — engineer substitutions are welcome and expected. Phantom power requirements (+48V) apply only to the condenser overheads and hi-hat. Bass DI can come from the amp's rear-panel XLR out (pre/post-EQ switchable on the Rumble 500) or from a stage-supplied active DI. The bass is passive; either works.

Keys FOH feed is a balanced stereo XLR pair from the Radial KL-8 — mono fold-down is acceptable if channels are tight but stereo is strongly preferred to preserve the Nord + Moog blend. The Leslie is a real rotary cabinet (no simulation); standard 2× SM57 top in an X-pattern at 90° + 1× MD421 bottom is ideal, but a single top mic is workable.

The Yamaha EAD5 module on the drum kit provides an onboard kick mic and ambient-stereo capture — available as a backup or for in-ears if needed.
