1. Why do I need amplification?
You may need it to make sure that you have a perfect musical background regardless of the noise level or the number of guests. It allows for the sound to travel farther if the event is outdoors or enables you to pipe music in more than one hall or room at a time.
2. Where are loudspeakers placed?
Loudspeakers stand on legs and are positioned apart from one another at regular intervals along the wall so as to achieve an even sound projection in any room. For smaller performances, only two loudspeakers are used.
3. Might the sound be too loud for the guests?
No, the sound will be adjusted during the event in accordance with the ambient noise to allow people to talk in a pleasant musical environment.
4. Can you provide amplification for big events?
Our PA system allows us to add as many loudspeakers as we want and we can provide amplification for any kind of reception.
5. What does harp amplification involve?
Amplification includes all the necessary equipment: mixing console, loudspeakers on support, high quality mikes for classical instruments as well as speeches and music during musicians’ breaks. A technician will supervise and adjust the equipment throughout the event.
6. Why should we get you service rather than someone else’s?
Because we are experienced at providing amplification for classical instruments like the harp and we have the specialized equipment for perfect results every time. What is more our offer comes in a single package deal which keeps costs down.
7. Can our DJ do the harp amplification?
If you have hired a DJ for the evening, he can amplify the harp if he wants to and if his equipment allows it. If he does not have the right mikes for classical instruments like the grand harp, mine can be rented for the job.
8. What is minimum number of guests for us to start considering amplification?
It depends on the performance as well as the size and type of event. In a formal ceremony the number of guests is not a determining factor because they are usually focused on the event itself. By contrast, if you have 150 guests at a noisy event like a cocktail, amplification is certainly a must. Gather all the details about your event and we will know how to help you.
9. Who is in charge of amplification?
Robert Verreault is in charge of amplification. If you need advice or have other questions, do not hesitate to call him.
