Sound Production

There is nothing quite like it, a big performance from well rehearsed performers that fills every seat in the house with perfect sounding notes. Having the right equipment and highly experience sound engineers can enhance an event more than anything else. Being a sound engineer is all about re-creating and enhancing the music that the band is performing. A well designed system will become an extension of the band and performers and be unnoticed, but a poorly designed and operated system will bring a concert to its knees. We can supply Sound Production for: big flown concert systems, Theater, Band Gigs, Corporate Shows, School Productions, Sporting events.

Lighting Production

A special blend of art and science, that's our approach to lighting. Lighting exists to make things be seen, but when it comes to stage lighting, of course it's so much more than that.
Our lighting designs cover everything from floodlighting camp grounds to lighting rock festivals and big dance parties with intelligent lighting and special color effects.

Production Management and Logistics

When running an event there are many details that need to be thought through , especially when it comes to organizing the technical parts. With our years of experience in the entertainment industry we can manage all or some, of the technical aspects of sound, lighting, video, staging , projection , rigging and Site Power Reticulation.

Event Site Power Reticulation

Peace of mind is always a good thing when it comes to electrical safety and a good reliable power supply. That is why we have registered electricians that can come and look after all of the site power requirements. Our electricians use certified outdoor cables and distribution boxes, to take the power where it is needed safely and reliably. One thing is for sure, the event cannot go ahead if the power supply fails!
