technical requirements

When I play live I use my own mixer, and my audio output is stereo through two 1/4" outputs. I also require one vocal mic with a stand. I need a sound system with good bass response and at least one stage monitor. Generally, I like the stage mix to be pretty much the same as the main mix. I have my own video projector, screen, and european power converter, but a backup power converter and projector is not a bad thing to have around. We always carry backups of most of our other equipment.

When we're taking an airplane to a show:
I'll need a white wall, screen, or existing projection setup, and a table to put my equipment on. The table should be at least the size that you would need to comfortably set up two standard desktop computers.
