Hey everyone,
I suppose I could just call around for quotes, but.....
I own a Yorkville sound PA. It's a nice stereo rig with 11,000 watts FOH including 18" Elite powered subs, 1600 watts for monitors (two discrete mixes) and the normal effects, EQ, crossover rack. The board is 22 channels. I can easily do a rink with it. Lots of mics and DIs. It really sounds fantastic.
I bought it to use with my band and we really only gig about once a month.
When I'm not gigging, I accept sound gigs and these are coming more and more frequently. I'm getting referrals from the local stores and actually, I love doing sound.
My question is this. What would you expect to pay, including the soundman (nobody runs this rig except me and my regular soundman), to hire a rig like this for a night?
I'd like to be just shy of the big production companies.
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks
