LIVE AUDIO PRODUCTION IN MELBOURNE

End to end live sound for events, performances and corporate gigs. PA system design, front of house engineering or a full crew. From the Cotton Mills in Footscray to festival main stages across Victoria.

THE AUDIENCE SHOULD NOT BE THINKING ABOUT THE SOUND. THEY SHOULD BE IMMERSED IN IT.

Bad live audio is obvious. Feedback in the first five minutes, a presenter who sounds like they are in a tunnel, a band where you can hear the kick but nothing else. We have been doing this long enough to know what can go wrong before it does. From intimate brand activations to multi stage festivals, we bring the gear, the experience and the calm that complex events need.

We’re the crew you call when you need calm when it’s chaos behind the scenes.

WHO WE WORK WITH

WHO IT’S FOR?

01

Corporate Event

Conferences, product launches and award nights. Reliable audio from bump in to pack down. No drama on the night.

02

Brand Activation

Pop-up events and experiential productions across Melbourne. The sound needs to match everything else on the production.

03

Festivals & Music Events

Full festival stage production. FOH, monitors, backline support. We have worked the big ones and the scrappy ones.

04

Venues & Promoters

Looking for a regular production partner? We work well with venues that value consistency and quality.

05

Performing Arts

Theatre, dance and performance. Precise audio design, cue operation and cast monitoring for every show.

06

Community & Government

Public events, ceremonies, outdoor festivals. Scalable, reliable and not precious about the conditions.

TECHNICAL DELIVERABLES

Experienced engineer at the desk for the full event. From soundcheck to the last note.

PA System Design

System design, rigging, deployment and tuning for your venue and audience size. We spec it properly from the start.

Wireless Mic Management

Full frequency coordination and RF management. No dropouts, no surprises.

Stage Management

THE WORKFLOW

  1. 01

    Event Brief

    Give us the venue, format, audience size and your technical requirements. The more you tell us, the better we can help.

  2. 02

    System Design

    PA design, input list, stage plot, crew list. You get a clear production plan before anything is confirmed.

  3. 03

    Bump-In & Soundcheck

    Full set up and rig with time built in. Soundcheck before doors. Nothing left till the last minute.

  4. 04

    Event Operation

    FOH and monitor engineers for the full duration. We handle any curveballs or anything that shifts on the night.

  5. 05

    Bump-Out

    Quick efficient pack downs. Just like we were taught, plan for the bump out during bump in. We keep it tidy and leave the venue exactly as we found it.
