EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE
AMPLIFIED SECTIONS
- Where amplification is required, the Eisteddfod endeavours to supply one guitar amplifier, one base guitar amplifier and one piano amplifier. BREC supplies a limited number of standing microphones as well as headset microphones. These can be provided if requested on a completed and submitted Tech Form for your use at BREC. No drum microphones are allowed.
- Where microphones are used, they will be patched through BREC sound system.
- Teachers please set realistic volume levels – appropriate sound levels will form part of the adjudication. We are also encouraging minimal set up times.
- NOTE: If you are bringing your own equipment, PLEASE REFER IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INFORMATION above
