The house JBL rig at Shanghai's Oriental Art Center, 2017

Tall equipment rack with amplifiers stacked vertically, topped with a powered mixer unit with illuminated displays.

Here are 4 photos from 2017-09-30. They were taken before a Laura Fygi concert in Shanghai at the Oriental Art Center. The venue has its own P.A. made of JBL brand speakers and a grand piano but the organisation had to rent everything else. I have worked there a few times and the room sounds very well which makes sound checks easy and of short time. It's a great venue for jazz music. The racks are for powering the monitors and for patching the DiGiCo. I asked to visit the amp room on two occasions but was refused both times.
