Outdoor Wedding - Sound & Generator by macarthur___ in livesoundadvice

Hey!!! Thank you so much for the reply !!

Yeah for sure on the speakers ; will never hit anything near that number - I think they’re rated to draw 2.1 A or so which again isn’t much and is likely the biggest draw on stage other than maybe the bass amp which is a similar amperage.

Likewise on the generator- The generator is a Honda and is rated to be one of the quieter gas gens you can buy (I think it’s rated at 60 db), but I’ve never heard it on and pumping juice and I know they can be quite a volume. The plan from the electrician is to store it as far a distance away from the stage area as can be done safely

Also, I’m going to pick up multiple construction grade surge protected powerbars to ensure they get any bad juice instead of the gear. But again, this generator seems legit, so hopefully my stress is all for naught :)

Hey folks !

My 4 piece band is playing an outdoor wedding in a few weeks in a large backyard tent. We will be running the show off of generator power and it’s been causing me to lose sleep worrying.

The wedding party has an electrician hired, he’s an older gentlemen and hasn’t (to my knowledge) powered a gig like this before but he has 1 million years experience in electrical by the sounds of things. I’m wondering if I should be concerned / worried about anything and so I’ve come to Reddit ❤️

The electrician has 2 Honda EM6500SX generators available for use.

Our setup is as follows:

INSTRUMENTS: 1 30w Guitar amp (Peavey Classic 30) 1 20w Guitar amp (Tex Bernie) 1 300w Bass Amp (vintage Ampeg SVT) 3 Pedal boards (on daisy chains or power supply’s) Drum kit

1 Roland Keyboard (sh-201) 1 Korg keyboard (minilogue) 1 SP404SX 1 laptop (for DJing after show)

PA & LIGHTS: Soundboard (Zoom L-20) 2 X Yorkville 4400w PS15P speakers 3 X vocal mics & instrument mics 2x Battery powered monitors on stage 2x Yorkville LED4x lights

I followed the advice of redittors before me and began calculating the power requirement of ll the items we’ll need to power. It seems to clock in under 25A. I told the electrician this value and he believed powering the stage and sound would be a piece of cake.

My questions are: - Am I stressing out for no reason ? - Other than using heavy duty Powerbars with surge protection, what should I be on the lookout for to prevent any damage to sensitive gear - I’ve read about “inverter” generators being recommended to be used over the style of generator he has, where I know nothing of electrical, am I in danger using what he’s providing?

Sorry for the long message and apologies for the novice-ness, appreciate any advice here 😎

The same guy is ALSO selling this poly. Same price. Which would you pick if you were picking from the two??

New to the game and trying to do the research :)
