Speakers

My music comes out of my three computers from software like Real Band, RealGuitar and RealStrat, B4II, Gigastudio, Garritan Personal Orchestra and Sonivox Muse. One piece of hardware creates sounds, the Yamaha VL70m. A mixer box takes all sounds from wherever and merges them they way I want them. They then go to amps and then to speakers. I group sounds into seven channels, 1) Drums, 2) Base Guitar, 3) Keyboards/Strings/Misc lead sounds, 4) Horns, 5) Guitar 6) Lead Voice, and 7) Harmonizer Voices. The Base and Drums each feed into one side of a Cerwin Vega CV1800 and then into two Wharfedale Pro EVPx 18B speakers and re-feed into a CV900 powering two Wharfedale Pro VS 12x speakers on stands. The keyboards/strings and the horns feed into a second Cerwin Vega CV1800 and then into huge Wharfedale Pro EVPx215 speakers. The Guitar sounds go into a Realistic 100 watt amp and a pair of home-built 12" speakers. Both vocal tracks share a self-powered base speaker, a Wharfedale Pro SVP 15PB and then each have their own self-powered Wharfedale Pro SVP 15P speakers on stands. All the tracks use one side of a stereo amp. I have a stage plan on my site at http://black-box-band.com/technical.cfm showing these speakers and their locations.
