I see--your just supplying the Sound system then?

In that case give the Instructor/Caller the best possible equipment and a really good quality microphone---otherwise it will sound awful.

I know--I do this most weeks in the Summer.

Do you not take your own mic Alan?

[CRAZY K]

Yup Darren,--take the JTS Radio Mike with me when I work on my own or other peoples gear--but not everyone connected with Barn Dancing is as professional and organised as me---or even have a radio mike!

Or in fact have anything like the quality of equipment I use.

I attended (had my arm twisted) to attend a local sort of Folk Dance thing and asked to Call a dance.

The "equipment" was a pair of 12inch speakers circa 1970 with no high frequency units for top end--a record player with scratched LPs and the amp probably some 100 watt thing with not much tone control--the mike--a mufflers special from the 60s or 70s.

This is the kit regularly used by the Caller.

So when I turn up at a gig normally with the brand new Peavey set up with 2 tops and 2 bass bins, 1000 watt mixer amp, JTS radio Mike and some par cans etc it certainly gets noticed! and heard!

Back on this thread---Good Barn blasting equipment :teeth:

No one says--I couldnt hear what you said :teeth: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
