The QL1 mixer and Rio Stage Boxes are designed to work with the units already in place gear. The only viable options would be to downgrade to TF series and Tio Stage Boxes, which the unit already has and needs to replace, OR to upgrade to a CL1 mixer, which would be fine. This purchase will unlock the full functionality of the unit's CL5 front-of-house mixer and integrate the wireless monitoring system.

The Chamsys lighting console and Chauvet light fixtures are taught at the Army School of Music (ASOM), are the industry standard, and the state’s subject matter expert and only ASI trained individual has training on these specific models. Furthermore, testing of future soldiers to acquire this ASI will be completed on this specific hardware.

Shure wireless instrument systems, In-ear monitoring systems, and antenna combiner/splitters are in place at the unit already, this will expand their capability by adding channels, changing of brand or models will result in non-use of equipment.

The Yamaha Electric Upright Bass was specifically chosen as the longterm cost effective replacement of the band's current acoustic model, which has cost the state roughly $6k in repairs in the past decade.

Requester is the ONLY trained individual in the WIARNG qualified to make the call on what equipment will and will not work with the unit's current equipment.
