Equipment
Rix The Mix only uses professional
audio and lighting equipment. We have found the professional gear holds
up better for long events and is more powerful when you need more sound
for outdoor events or in big halls. The audio equipment we primarily
use is manufactured by Peavey and most of the lighting equipment is
made by American DJ.
Rix The Mix has never experienced an
equipment failure that we did not have spare equipment in the truck
onsite, ready to go to replace it with. We test all of our sound equipment
before the event to make sure its operational and fix or replace any
equipment before the event so your event goes off without a hitch.
No power, no problem. We have super
quiet generators available upon request. If your event is off the grid
or not near a power source let us know and we will bring our generators.
We use Honda EU2000I generators that are ultra quite and typically set
them up 100 feet away from the event. During a wedding reception the
birds and the wind are usually louder then our generators. More then
once we have gotten the comment "You got power up here? We don't
hear a generator" Extra fees are added for the generator, just
let us know when you call us so we can provide this for you.
Weather problems
Rix the Mix does their very best in good faith to provide entertainment
services even in bad weather. In our contract we agree to provide a
refund if weather causes problems during the event (Rain, Wind, etc...)
Also, we have to consider safety of our equipment and your guests. So
for example if its a heavy windy rainy day and we need to setup outside,
we will contact you about our concerns and refund what we both think
is fair.
For weather, we have sun and rain shelters for our equipment if needed.
Equipment details:
We primarily run Peavey loud speakers and the power amps are Europower.
All music is ran off of two laptops using special DJ software.
The lights at this time are LED and incandescent light fixtures that
are multi-color and have moving beams. The lights are currently controlled
by a switch panel, we have plans to switch to software controlled lights.
Additional equipment available upon request, if you
need wireless microphones, lapels, a lectern, or need us to connect
to another audio source (A live band, singer, MP3 player/ipod, etc...)
let us know and we can typically accomodate if we are notified ahead
of time.
