Need live sound, install evaluation, upgrades, new systems, rentals? We've got you covered. So far in 2026 we've done mic rentals, an elementary music concert, and we've got two graduations, a HS music concert, seven community outdoor concerts and more mic rentals on the calendar.
We also have a tentative - yet to be scheduled audio and video system evaluation in the planning.
Need pro audio, video, lighting and video wall information, pricing or products? Leave a note.

Sometimes... yes... we'll just jump in, apply some good old common sense approach to tinkering and see if we can fix it. If it broke... well, it already was...
No additional damage was done to any equipment, and stress level of user reduced to near zero.

Field repair... yeah, that's what we do sometimes.
Client has an older ETC ION console that was unresponsive, no power. Didn't have time to troubleshoot the PSU as they have a "spare" ION as their "slave" console when programming in the auditorium.... While waiting for ETC support to call back... I took the initiative to tear open the failing ION, grab whatever flavor of storage is in it - tech support wasn't sure if it was an SATA spinner, SSD or a NVMe. Either way, these, like many things these days, are just computers. PSU, CPU, GPU, storage and ram.
Swapped the NVMe cards, client is good to go!

Talent shows... kids of all ages (including adults) that participate in talent shows deserve to be heard on quality systems. Playing back music on a phone into a microphone is not a quality system. We're providing those services this morning where prior years was a poor reflection of the work these kids put into their performance.
If you're a county fair, school, city, club, and you need access to a professional quality PA and operator, please contact us. We can help your contestants sound their best, and your audience to hear them clearly!

We love providing demos of products. This last week we provided a couple of speaker demos to churches. Cory prefers to use a couple of tracks from Triumphant Quartet and Legacy Five in his demonstration. Powerful, impactful introductions and clear articulate vocals, and most importantly, sums appropriately to mono when needed.
CCM music just doesn't cut it.

Graduation #1 done. Packed house! @1200 or so. Another graduation planned for out doors, then 7 concerts over the summer.
Need sound reinforcement, let us know.

Graduations and summer concerts are upon us. Yes, we do that. We've got two graduations on our calendar, one inside expecting 2000 or more and one smaller outdoor program. Seven outdoor concerts on the schedule. We've got room for more if quality sound reinforcement is needed.

Reminder:
We function mostly on word of mouth. With that, we've been in contact with a church in Findlay, OH regarding upgrades to their audio and possible lighting systems, and have been referred to a school district for maintenance of their present sports complex audio systems.
Thank you all for the support.

Recording and playback in music classrooms? Yes, absolutely.
More often than not, choir, orchestra, band, general music teachers are provided less than stellar recording and playback systems for their classrooms. Utilizing Adam Hall Group's LD Systems Stinger products for playback, Audio-Technica USA hanging microphones and ALLEN & HEATH's new CQ series mixers, three classrooms in this thumb area district now have dynamic, articulate, clear and powerful playback and recording.
