<big>''' Setup 5 Minutes '''</big>

Here's how we get our four piece band setup with the Bose systems in under 5 minutes (from the point that all the gear is on the stage).

== Positions ==
I start with the [[PS1 PowerStand]] a couple of feet from the back of the stage (if necessary for "elbow room" or lighting).

It takes me about a minute to make all the connections. It will be faster when I get some nail polish to mark the "front" of the connectors for the remote and XLR connectors and some dummy plugs for the inputs that we don't use.

== The Snake ==
(one per player)

I have all the cables for each player bound up in a "snake". This includes cables for
* Remote Control
* Microphone (s)
* Instrument (s)
* This means there's only one "thing" to coil up and store instead of several.

== The System Bag ==
(one per system)

The bags is labelled with the name of the player who uses it. It includes:
* Remote Control unit
* Power cable and if the player requires it for accessories, a small power bar
* B1 cable(s)
* Flashlight (small, the white LED ones work really well)
* Microphones (actually - I only do this for the drummer's bag because the microphones are really sturdy so I just leave them connected to the microphone cables). The more delicate vocal microphones travel separately in our individual gig bags.

== The PowerStands ==
* The PowerStands are labelled with the names of the players who use them.
* All the settings (presets, gain) are "dialed in" for the player who uses the system. * I use 1/2" white "first-aid" tape for labelling things (including the presets, gain settings, phantom power on/off normally used for each system). I'll probably get around to finding caps to block the inputs that aren't used.

Okay - so it takes maybe two-three minutes to find power,
* Place the PowerStand and B1 for easy access,
* Plug in B1 cable and power (these hold the access door open although I usually use the 'plug' from the L1 receptacle)
* Plug in the snake
* Slide the PowerStand and B1 into final positions
* L1 goes into the hole (note: this is the last step, and since learning to do it this way, I've spent a lot less time banging my head against it).

After that we just don't need to access anything on the PowerStand. All the real-time, performance adjustments are on the Remote.

Another two-three minutes gets the mic stands placed and microphones and [[R1 Remote]]s connected and we're ready to go.

And that's how we do the setup (not including load-in, and assembling the drum kit) in under 5 minutes.
