The supply of electrical power that will feed the stage system, P.A. and
lighting, should be checked with the person responsible for the event location. Use a
additional generator (if necessary). The lighting cables must run behind the
battery practical, avoiding noise in the system.

Important
The sound company responsible for the event must provide equipment of a high standard.
professional in perfect working condition, especially: amplifiers,
speakers, microphones, cables, clamps, and stands.

The sound company must provide employees who know how to connect everything
equipment, from the time the band arrives until the end of the show. A
stage assistant to help position monitors, cables, etc.

The system must be in perfect working order up to 1 hour before the


expected time for the start of soundcheck.

Work areas should be well lit, easily accessible, and have good traffic.
Unobstructed. The stage must be clean and free, with audio and AC cables positioned
in an orderly manner.

Observations
Guitar and bass amplifiers, instruments, and drums may be
carried by the band.

In case there are other bands performing on the same stage, it is necessary
remember that there will NOT be sharing of this rider. Another setup must be
available.

We thank you in advance, hoping to find ideal conditions for the


execution of a good show. For further inquiries, please contact
in advance by phone: (47) 8436-1259 or (47) 8434-1669.

For the digital setup, a 32x8 Mixer (Yamaha 01v96 or compatible), a digital equalizer (Behringer DEQ 2496 or compatible), and a digital processor (Behringer DCX 2496 or compatible) are specified. These ensure precise control over audio signals and enable detailed equalization and processing of sound to meet the event's needs. For analog configurations, the equipment includes a 32x8 Mixer (Yamaha Ga 32/12 or compatible), a crossover (DBX 234 XL or compatible), two equalizer 31 bands (Behringer FBQ 6200 or DBX 2231 or compatible), a quad gate (DBX 1074 or compatible), and an effects processor (Behringer DSP 2024P or compatible). Each piece allows for analog signal manipulation, efficient frequency distribution, and effect processing to enhance live performances.

It is advised that lighting cables run behind the battery to avoid introducing noise into the audio system. This consideration highlights the need for planned cable routing and electrical management to prevent interference that could degrade audio quality. This also underscores the collaborative nature of audio and visual planning in ensuring high-quality production standards.

The technical rider specifies that equipment specified in the rider is not to be shared among multiple bands. It emphasizes the need for distinct setups to ensure each band's requirements are met without compromising on the quality or integrity of the sound system tailored specifically for each band. This avoids potential conflicts and ensures that each performance is delivered to the same high standards.

Uniform sound coverage is achieved by properly assembling the P.A. system to ensure it covers the entire area that needs to be soundproofed. This involves aligning speakers and adjusting equipment to ensure that sound is distributed evenly, preventing any areas of the venue from experiencing sound deficiency or over saturation.

The system must be in perfect working order with all equipment connected and ready one hour before the expected time for the start of the soundcheck. A stage assistant should be present to help position monitors, cables, and other equipment. The work areas should be well-lit, easily accessible, and have unobstructed traffic. The stage itself must be clean, organized, and free of clutter, with audio and AC cables neatly in place.

A generator is considered to ensure sufficient and stable power supply for all stage systems, P.A., and lighting. The implications for event logistics include the need to account for the generator's setup, fuel requirements, and potential noise management. It highlights the importance of reliable power sources in preventing disruptions during performances and maintaining optimal operation of technical equipment.

The stage and backline setup includes eight return lines, two vocal microphones, two guitar microphones, a drum microphone set, three direct boxes for various instruments, and several amplifiers suited to guitars and bass. It also specifies supports for instruments and a keyboard. This setup ensures each performer has adequate equipment for optimal sound delivery, personalized monitoring solutions, and smooth transitions between instrument usage.

The detailed input list defines the channel and insert configurations for each instrument and microphone, providing a clear roadmap for setting up and mixing the live sound. This precise documentation ensures that every audio element is accounted for in the mixing and processing, aligning with overall technical requirements for seamless integration and execution. This alignment is critical for delivering a coherent and high-quality live performance by ensuring the technical setup matches the band's needs.

The P.A. system is required to deliver RMS of 110dBA and PEAK of 122dBA at SPL from F.O.H., with a frequency response as linear as possible from 35Hz to 18KHz. These specifications are crucial because they ensure that the sound system can handle high volumes without distortion, thus providing a clear, powerful sound necessary for a live performance. Moreover, a linear frequency response ensures that all frequencies are amplified equally, avoiding any frequency being too dominant or too weak, which contributes to an enhanced audio experience for the audience.

The emphasis on providing high-standard professional equipment is to ensure technical reliability and superior sound quality during performances. Elements like requiring amplifiers, speakers, microphones, cables, clamps, and stands to be in perfect working condition and the presence of knowledgeable employees reflect high expectations for equipment readiness and operational proficiency. These aspects reduce risk of equipment failure and enhance the performance environment.
