“Greetings from South Africa.

I work with an old primary school teacher of mine, doing small to medium sized shows in Cape Town, similar to this shown in the picture. This was by far the biggest rig that we had set up, for a small school festival in the nearby suburb. Half of the gear is borrowed in from loyal contacts that my teacher made over the years. The gear he owns consists of 4x Tops, 2x dual Bins, 2x MP2800's and the 2 Yamaha amps, as shown in the picture. Plus 6x of the new Yamaha DSR 12" Powered Tops/monitors.”

This specific rig consists of:

8x 12" Yamaha Installation Series Tops
6x dual 15" Yamaha Installation Series bins. (IS1215)

All of the above were powered by:

2x Yamaha PC-1N Series Power Amplifiers
3x Wharfedale Pro MP2800 and last but not least: 1x E90 MC2 Power Amp.

“This isn't by far the standard of some of the other guys' pictures I've seen on this page. But I do have a natural love for this technical side of shows. Although I mostly do the lighting side of our gigs.

Thanks for the great page. Keep on gigging!"”
