Woodwind Steel - The Arsenal

Greetings from Woodwind Steel!
Greater Cincinnati’s Premier Vocal Trio.

Sound Reinforcement and Lighting

We don't like to carry a lot of big, heavy stuff. Gee, I wonder why??? Anyway, we use Mackie power amps (2), a Mackie 16 channel board, and Alesis delay and 'verb. Electro Voice microphones work best for Woodwind Steel and we use Electro Voice monitors as well. Our speaker set up for the "mains" (the stuff out front that you hear) consists of Electro Voice "subs" and Yamaha mid/high cabinets. Sounds pretty good, actually. We also have a "big" setup for outdoor venues. Large Sun cabinets and a 100 foot snake enable us to cover a substantial amount of territory.
When requirements dictate and the power supply is adequate, we carry some combination of 8 PAR-56, 4 PAR-64, 8 PAR-48, and 8 PAR-36 "cans" with tri-pods, trusses, and dimmer packs.
