Channel Lists

Below is an example of a channel list. You may not know the type of microphone you require (we can recommend one if we know what it is for), but it is useful for the sound technician's & engineer's to know whether - for example - a violin is fitted with its own pickup & will need a D.I., or whether a microphone is needed (or preferred).
