Event setup & crew
Someone who
runs the show.
Equipment on its own is half the job. This is the other half: the people who get it in, make it sound right in your room, and stay to run it while the event happens.
How the day runs
We load in early enough to set up without an audience watching. The system goes up, gets aimed for that particular room, and then gets tuned — a hall with a marble floor and a hall with carpet and curtains need different settings, and the only way to know is to listen in the room. Then every microphone is checked, levels are set for the people who will actually speak or sing, and the music is cued. By the time your first guest arrives it is quiet and ready.
During the event
Somebody stays at the console. That matters more than it sounds: a speech is a different level to a dance set, a nervous speaker holds the mic differently to a confident one, and a room full of people absorbs sound that an empty room reflected an hour earlier. Somebody has to be riding those changes, and dealing quietly with the cable or the battery that fails, which eventually it does.
Pack-up
When the event ends we clear out. Cables come up, stands come down, and we leave the venue the way we found it — which matters if you have a deposit with the venue or a committee checking in the morning.
Who comes
That depends on the size of the event and the package. Tell us the scale and we will say exactly who is on site and what they cover, before you book rather than after.
Questions.
Early enough to set up, tune and soundcheck without rushing. For a larger or further venue that usually means several hours before, and for an outstation event often the day before.
Somebody is at the console throughout, which is how most failures get handled before anyone in the room notices. Ask us what spares travel with your particular booking.
