Stage plot maker
The venue knows your setup before you arrive.
Showing up to a venue that has no idea how your band sets up costs you soundcheck time and a worse show. PadVox includes a stage plot maker that solves it: lay out musicians, instruments, monitors and gear on a visual canvas, then send the venue a clean PDF before you arrive.
Design on a visual canvas
Set the dimensions of the stage in metres and drag elements into place: speakers, instruments, monitors and staging. Every element has its own properties, so the plot reflects your real setup.
Alongside the layout, PadVox keeps an input channel list, so the engineer knows exactly what arrives at the desk.
- Drag-and-drop visual editor
- Custom stage dimensions in metres
- Element palette: speakers, instruments, staging
- Input channel list
Export for the venue
When the plot is ready, export it as a PDF. Send it ahead with the booking so the venue and the sound engineer know your setup before you arrive: fewer surprises at load-in, and a faster soundcheck.
- One-tap PDF export
- Share ahead of the show
- A clear layout for the venue and engineer
Technical and hospitality riders
A stage plot travels with its rider. PadVox builds technical riders, hospitality riders or a combined document, organized into sections and items with description, quantity, whether it is required and notes.
Riders export and print, so the document the venue receives always matches what the band actually needs.
- Technical, hospitality and combined riders
- Sections and items with quantity and notes
- Required versus optional items
- Export and print
