Under suitable acoustic conditions it is possible to conduct concerts – instrumental only – without a sound system.

For such concerts, you will only need a microphone for announcements and 230V outlets. It is possible to use microphones and a small sound system for the orchestra.

The technical conditions given are indicative and may vary significantly, as they will depend on the size of the hall, the type and size of the stage, the possibility of setting up the orchestra on stage, acoustics, the type of concert.

Indeed, completely different technical conditions will be for an outdoor concert, and others for a concert hall or church.

It is necessary to ensure the possibility of driving up as close to the concert venue as possible due to the size and weight of instruments, transport boxes, etc.
