Diesel generator for small party in field

Diesel generator for small party in field

Alright people.

Having a small outdoor gathering in a field in UK. I have access to a generator which i think is rated at about 6kw.

We have a small PA system running off this amp CPC UK | Electronic Parts & Components, Raspberry Pi

There will be a few lights but nothing major at all. All LED style lights so shouldnt be a massive draw of power.

I’m presuming this is plenty of power that this amp is giving out?

Is there anything i need to be aware of? The generator has mains sockets built into it into which i was going to plug surge protected sockets before any of the kit.

Any do’s and don’ts?

That generator could power ten of those amps. I think the question is will that amp be enough for an outdoor event? 600 watts max is like bookshelf system power.

buy extra gas / have backup fuses . having a alternate power source wouldn’t be a bad idea ether. also make sure the volume of your system is louder than the generator when its running and have a spot set aside for the generator where its well ventilated and no one is going to trip over power cords.

Assign a straight person to generator duty wink

Make sure you place the generator away from the people. Generator = Fumes and noise.

Use long extension cords to keep it at a distance.

What speakers are you using?

Who would want THAT job??!! :thumbsdown:

Agreed though!

Am I the only person who doesn’t understand why someone who’s gay can’t work the generator? :-\

i’m confused as well… don’t get it twisted i got a wife and kids… but my sound engineer is gay and so are my graphic design guys whats the big deal?

It’s gotta be some kinda American euphemism I’m guessing lol. He can’t ACTUALLY mean that gay people shouldn’t run the gennies, that’d just be flat-out weird.

I’m no yankee boiyo :wink:

:open_mouth: you mean you’re not Jeff Bridges?

I’m his Kiwi cousin :slight_smile:

Ahhh, the Man Who Stares at Weka :thumbsup:

Surely by straight he meant straight headed?! As in someone who isn’t fucked!

The term is “sober” :stuck_out_tongue: Misunderstandings are RIDICULOUSLY easy on the internets haha :stuck_out_tongue:

Not really. You just have to add a little context to the conversation. Logically why would someone’s sexual preference have anything to do with their ability to man a diesel generator?! :wink:

Tbh someone’s sexual preference doesn’t have to do with ANYTHING unless they’re hosting an orgy, but you know what people are like these days with political correctness :stuck_out_tongue:!

HAHA I never thought about that but that is THE only time it matters. :slight_smile:

Hahaha hah not sure what the speakers are. It’s only a little gathering for a few mates, it’s my stag do. It can’t be too loud but we want music. Taking laptop s4 maybe a small beer fridge, that amp and speakers. I’ll find out what they are.

As for the straight comment… Are the people that don’t understand it in the UK, and are you just being funny or do you really not understand :stuck_out_tongue:
