Soprano Sax Stage Plot Icon

The Soprano Sax icon draws a string or wind instrument at a believable footprint instead of a placeholder box. On a stage plot it marks an acoustic source that needs a condenser, a boom, and phantom power, which is what lets a venue crew read the plan in a single pass.

Place it, rotate it, and give it a label that matches the language your crew already uses. The export keeps all of it.

Using the Soprano Sax icon on a stage plot

Where it goes on stage

Stage position is the thing that gets argued about at load in, so it is worth drawing accurately. Horn sections sit in a shallow arc upstage of the front line. Bowed strings sit seated, usually stage left, with enough clearance for bow arms. If the room forces a compromise, move the icon and export again. A fresh PDF is cheap; an argument at load in is not.

What the crew needs to know

One thing worth writing down. Confirm phantom power availability on the console. Condenser channels fail silently when it is switched off, which wastes soundcheck time.

On the input list

Soprano Sax produces one channel on the input list, defaulting to a Condenser input, a boom stand and 48V phantom power switched on. It sorts at position 7 in the drums first, vocals last channel order that front of house engineers expect. Change any of it per plot; the default just means you rarely have to.

Console exports

Because the input list is generated rather than typed, it exports straight to console: X32 and M32 scene files, Wing scenes, and CSV channel names for the Allen and Heath, DiGiCo, and Yamaha families. See the console guides.
