Yamaha Sound System Equipment (Brand Name or Equal) Salient Characteristics

31 July 19

The salient characteristics are applicable to the items listed below and are required to accomplish the mission of the Band of the West. The following line items with descriptions are brand name or equal:

For line items 1-11, Dante Audio over IP networking is the standard, native protocol that has been chosen as the end-to-end audio distribution method. This protocol is widely implemented across the audio industry and allows for a multitude of possibilities for interconnection and expansion with other equipment in the live sound and recording studio sectors. This protocol must be built into/compatible with the products requested above, ensuring that the equipment is ready, out-of-the-box, and without added options for seamless interconnection with minimal configuration and set-up. This is important as the Band of the West currently uses the Dante based system, therefore, purchasing equal equipment according to these specifications to outfit our remaining groups will inherently create seamless compatibility and equate to infinite scalability for larger events.

The console must also have a minimum of 16 mix buses, 8 matrix (Input to Matrix supported), Dante Primary and Secondary I/O ports, 2 or more expansion slots, and 1 local AES/EBU digital output port. Additionally, the console must incorporate built-in head amp Gain Compensation and Digital Gain, making it possible to have multiple consoles in the same system sharing inputs. A 10” minimum onboard touch screen display is required to enhance local control, while making quick adjustments and reducing the amount of menu navigation needed to make changes. Additionally, seamless integration with computers, digital tablets, or phones (running free compatible applications) to allow engineers and musicians to make remote adjustments to any input, output, mix, or matrix is required.

Line Item 2. This Road Case is required to be manufactured as a three part (Nose cap, top lid, and console tray) case using a laminated (black color) 3/8” plywood exterior with a black texture coated 3/4” Baltic birch folding doghouse, heavy duty casters, handles, latches, and ball corners for ease of loading and transport as well as maximum protection of the equipment. The internal dimensions of the case must be manufactured to the dimensions of the large format digital console using a precision cut, high-density foam interior to cushion and protect the mixer while in transport and set-up.

Line Item 3. The Small format digital audio console must have at least 32 mono + 8 stereo mixing channels with 16 local analog inputs and 8 local analog outputs. With the addition of remote stage boxes, the input and output capacity should have the ability to be maximized to take advantage of the full 40 channels. The console must also have a minimum of 16 mix buses, 8 matrix (Input to Matrix supported), Dante Primary and Secondary I/O ports, 2 or more expansion slots, and 1 local AES/EBU digital output port. Additionally, the console must incorporate built-in head amp Gain Compensation and Digital Gain, making it possible to have multiple consoles in the same system sharing inputs. A 10” minimum onboard touch screen display is required to enhance local control, while making quick adjustments and reducing the amount of menu navigation needed to make changes. Also required is seamless integration with computers, digital tablets, or phones (running free compatible applications) to allow engineers and musicians to make remote adjustments to any input, output, mix, or matrix. This console is the smaller channel count version of the large format digital audio console (line item #1), so it would also function as a short term back-up, small format replacement for smaller gigs, or an expansion desk of one of the compatible large format consoles to increase the channel count and processing for a gig.

Line Item 4. This Road Case is required to be manufactured as a three part (Nose cap, top lid, and console tray) case using a laminated (black color) 3/8” plywood exterior with a black texture coated 3/4” Baltic birch folding doghouse, heavy duty casters, handles, latches, and ball corners for ease of loading and transport as well as maximum protection of the equipment.
