What we do

From the first Rehersal to the last load-out.

Audio

FOH and monitor mixing, system design and deployment, RF, playback and audio networking. The sound that the audience hears and the sound that keeps the artists performing.

Production Management

Technical planning, advancing, scheduling, supplier coordination, crew management and production documentation. The infrastructure that makes ambitious shows actually happen.

Tour Management

Advancing, itineraries, travel logistics, venue communication and day-to-day touring operations. Keeping artists, crew and gear moving in the right direction.

Theatre & Show Programming

QLab, playback, sound design, cueing and show systems. The technical integration that turns a script into a show.

Technical Production

Practical technical support, event systems and the kind of problem-solving that happens when something unexpected decides to become interesting.

Installations & Maintenance

Permanent and semi-permanent audio system installations, commissioning and ongoing maintenance. Getting the right system in the right space and keeping it working.
