Audio Rigs for Theater & Corporate Events
Yamaha QL/CL/Rivage rigs, body-mic wireless inventory, Dante stage boxes, and PDF patch sheets the rental shop will actually read.
Theatrical audio rigs are mostly Yamaha country: the QL/CL/Rivage families dominate the workflow because their scene-recall and Dante integration are tight, and rental houses keep them in stock. IEM Rig's catalog reflects that reality, with the QL5 and CL5 alongside the Rio and Tio stage boxes that actually ship with them. The wiring engine understands that one Cat5e from the console carries the full Dante channel count — you don't end up with a diagram that pretends you need 32 cables for an integrated network.
Wireless mic count is the other defining variable. A 16-channel cast on Shure ULXD or Sennheiser EW-DX needs antenna distribution, and the planner flags when you're running more transmitters than your distro can support. Combine that with the auto-generated PDF patch sheet and your rental rep can prep the order against your design without a phone call.
What this rig needs
- A console that scales from chamber-music to full musical theater
- Body-mic wireless count that matches the cast (often 16+ channels)
- Dante stage boxes at the SR/SL pin spots and orchestra pit
- PDF patch sheet the rental shop can compare against the prep list
- Scene-based recall so cue changes happen without a re-patch
