BACKLINE HIRE

Drums - Guitar Amps - Bass Amps - Keyboards - Packages


Hiring in backline can help improve the changeover time between your acts. When bands bring in their own equipment, it can delay the stage schedule and leave the audience with no entertainment whilst they get set up and get sound checked.


Hiring in Backline means the equipment is already set up and sound checked before the event starts, which each band can use. Performer change over time then can be done in as little as five minutes.

Where are the big amp stacks?


At Koncept Productions our goal is to get the best sound for the listening public. We aim our stage hire at the smaller events of 100 - 5000 people.


A stack of Marshalls at the back of the stage creates two big problems.

 

  1. The sound engineer mixing the event doesn't have control over it, so can't turn it down if it's overwhelming the mix.
  2. The sound generated from it will get into every microphone on stage and again dominate the show.

 

To most guitarists that sounds like a fantastic scenario, but in reality the audience will hate it.


In our experience a small combo amp miked through the PA sounds a lot better than a big amp stack. And we want everyone, from the front row to the back row to hear the best sound possible. So we don't offer the "Big Boys".
