Stage Equipment
Stage Equipment — Music Guide
Everything from speakers used on stage to lighting and other systems is generally called stage equipment. Its effect on a concert is around 10% or 1–1.5 levels, which is quite a high effect. My advice is to somehow get 5* equipment even if you are at the beginning of your career.
There are a few factors affecting the score your equipment receives on stage. The power capacity of the venue where you perform must be higher than your equipment’s; otherwise, you cannot benefit from all of it and receive an incomplete score. You should have your stage equipment repaired at certain intervals. This can be every 3–4 days or as long as two weeks. You need to check from time to time. Finally, your crew’s mood, the roadies’ and lighting technicians’ mood, and the drivers’ handlebar mustaches also affect the rating your equipment receives.
