Technical Specifications
For small to medium events Yohane can supply all the equipment and cables needed for his performance, although, if you'll be using in-house PA and mixing desk, these are the inputs he will need for each possible lineup element:
Lineup | Inputs |
---|---|
Acoustic Violin (Un-amplified) | None - small events only |
Acoustic Violin (Amplified) | 1x XLR (48V phantom) |
Electric Violin | 1x XLR or 1x 1/4' jack or phono (RCA) |
Live Backing Tracks (from iPad) | 1x 3.5mm jack (aux) or x1 RCA or 1/4' jack |
Live Backing Tracks (pre-programmed DJ style set from laptop) | x2 1/4' jack (stereo LR) or Dante or USB Midi or phono (RCA) |
Electric Violin w/ DJ | phono (RCA) or XLR or 1/4' jack or enquire with requirements |
In addition to each of these, most performances will require a power source on stage or within a reasonable distance from the performance area unless discussed in advance, in which case a battery powered PA can be used. Outdoor performances may also require a sun/rain cover depending on the expected weather conditions.
