TECHNICAL FILE BRUSSELS JAZZ ORCHESTRA
This file determines the technical specifications of sound & lighting equipment for concerts of the Brussels Jazz Orchestra, In certain circumstances, i.e. in small jazzclubs or at festivals, an alternate file is at your disposal.

The sound installation needs to be booked with the company AMPLI, by the organiser. The organiser is responsible for the correct set-up of the installation. Normally, this is done by one or more technicians of the rental company. If necessary, the organiser will anticipate a stage crew, this will be arranged directly with the rental company. Adjustments of the installation will be done one hour before the musicians arrive,i.e. one hour before the sound check.
