Hi Skude,
Tx. You know how hard it is to get good sound when operating outdoor. Well, I've only recently added two bass bins with a proper crossover unit and now we make the area tremble wherever we operate. The sound is so loud that if we operate at close to full volume, my wife has to stand behind me on the trailer. The sound and vibration is just too much for her to handle.
Set-up time is less than 10 minutes and follows:
1. Open the front lid. 2. Open the two rear doors holding the speakers. 3. Takeout keyboard (PSR3K) and mike stands. 4. Connect these to the mixer. 5. Start power gen. 6. Play!
I used to set up everything by hand and can tell you, since I've built this rig, setting up have become a breeze for me. I would recommend this to anyone operating outdoor.
Keep well, Henni

Very Cool, Henni. I really enjoyed your photos and I love seeing how other musicians setup and amplify their equipment. Are you using JBL powered speakers and sub's? Perhaps you can share your equipment list with us.

Brilliand solution for outdoor events where no stage build. Thank's for sharing.
Btw, how does it look or what do you use if the rain comes and maybe don't stop?

Hi Henni, cool looking 'roll-along the way' PA setup you got there.
As your pictured outdoor venue audience appear to be all young native Africans, curious what style of music you present for this youth group? Thanks for sharing.

Hi all,
On a part time basis we do evangelistic Gospel outreaches amongst the poor in our country. We give them food, sing for them and then give them the Word.
Funny enough, we play mostly very lively and very modern praise & worship music. (I'm very fond of nice Ballad and also most Rock styles)Most of our music is rock! Amazingly, they respond very well to these.
I havn't got the detail with me now, but we use two double 15" Fanes with powerful horns, two 15" bass bins, a Yamaha power amp and a Behringer mixer. Plus we use an active xover system. The power gen copes very well with all this equipment and the sound amaze those who know better.
I used to have a much bigger setup years agao and maybe we'll get there again in the near future.
Yup, she was worth every effort in the making and I'm well satisfied with her.
Keep well, Henni and Monica

Hi GJ,
When the rain comes we simply pack up and go. I lost one keyboard before when regularly playing in dusty conditions and won't make that mistake again. Today's arrangers do not come cheap and neither do the sound equipment.
Oh yes, one more thing: (as you can see on some pics) I have been accused on more than one occasion that I am mistaking my Rover for a LandRover. So as soon as we can afford, we'll upgrade to a 4x4. I've had the Rover into odd places already!javascript:void(0)
Keep well, Henni

Henni... Thanks for the great photos and explanation of what you do and how you do it. While a far cry from what you do, I recorded a brief clip at my New Year's Eve gig. It is not about me or my rig, although you will catch a glimpse of my stuff on stage....this clip is about the ingenuity of a senior community that had a FANTASTIC new years eve.
They bought a dozen high school or college band uniforms, found 12 of their own that fit into them and learned a brief routine, complete with cardboard instruments. The theme for their new year's party was "Senior Prom" and this was the "Half Time Show".

Henni. Enjoyed both of your tunes. Nice upbeat groove on Celebrate and nice delivery on the religious number. Your wife's got a nice voice and you decent playing. I'm impressived with the PSR3000's sound. Did you play the PSR3000 along to a midi backing track while your wife sang, or did you play the kb in auto accompinment arranger mode? My only suggestion would be to cut back the reverb a bit. Thanks for sharing your muisc from your uniquely evangilistic South African perspective.

Hi ScottYee,
No, we do not at all make use of midis or bactracks. All played live and recorded in one go on our PSR-3000.

Hi Allan,
Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, when we get our sponsor we will go big!
For those interested, here's some more of our music. All played live on a PSR-3000 using auto accomp in the arranger mode: (when you use fill-ins often, the Yamaha's drums sound rather realistic - at least to me)

Hi all,
Only for those interested - some more of our live music. My wife Monica on the vocals, me live on the Yamaha PSR-3000 (Boy, how I long for a Tyros4!!!)
