Concerts
Live music that
sounds like the record.
Front-of-house, monitors, lighting design, and multi-cam capture for theatres, clubs, civic venues, and corporate live music, built by engineers who've spent the last decade in the rooms.
The brief
What we’re here to do.
Live music has no second take. The PA either lands or it doesn't, the monitors are right or the band's pulling teeth, the lighting carries the show or it sits in the way. We focus on theatres, mid-cap clubs, civic spaces, and live music attached to corporate events, the rooms where craft matters more than scale. Touring-grade gear. Senior engineers. Lighting designed around the music, not over it.

How we work
The way it actually runs.
-
Production advance before the show
We work the advance with the touring manager and the production manager, input list, stage plot, monitor list, lighting plot, riders. By the time the truck rolls in, every console has the right show file loaded and every input is patched on paper.
-
Senior engineers behind every console
FOH, monitors, and lighting each have a senior engineer who's done hundreds of shows. We don't put juniors on critical positions for a paying audience, concerts don't have second chances.
-
Lighting designed to the music
Our LD builds the show around the program, not a generic chase. Cue points come from the band's set or the music director's score. The lighting moves with the song, not over it.
-
Capture-ready by default
Every show gets clean broadcast splits from FOH for multi-track recording. If you want the show captured for streaming, broadcast, or a release, the audio path is already there, we just add the cameras and the multi-cam director.

Concert production — FAQ
Common questions on concert production.
-
What size venues do you cover?
Our sweet spot is 200–1500 cap rooms, theatres, mid-cap clubs, civic centres, intimate music venues. We also do live music attached to corporate events (after-parties, brand launches with bands, gala entertainment). For larger stadium or festival main-stage work we'll either partner with bigger production houses or refer you to specialists, we'd rather do the room we're in well than overreach. -
Do you work with touring riders, or only your own systems?
Both. For acts with strict riders we'll either supply the rider gear or work with the act's production team to confirm what's required vs. preferred. For multi-act bills we run a shared system and brief each act's FOH or monitor engineer on the patch and console setup. -
Can you mix monitors in-ear for the whole band?
Yes, IEMs are standard for most touring acts. We carry Shure and Sennheiser IEM systems with proper antenna distribution, coordinate frequencies in advance, and provide pre-show line checks for every mix. Some acts bring their own packs and we just feed them; some use ours. Brief in the advance. -
Can you stream the show live?
Yes. Multi-camera concert streaming is standard, we run the cameras, the live director cuts the show, the audio comes from a separate broadcast mix off the FOH split (not the room mix), and it goes out to YouTube, Vimeo, or a custom destination. For ticketed streaming or pay-per-view we work with the platform of choice. -
What about multi-track recording for a future release?
Standard practice. We bring multi-track recording rigs that capture every input on its own channel via the FOH split, independent of the room mix. The recording engineer can later remix, edit, and master the show. We use Sound Devices or DAW capture depending on channel count. Files are delivered same-day or next-day in BWAV. -
Do you supply the lighting designer, or just the rig?
Both. Most concerts want our LD to design and program the show; some want their own designer driving our rig. We do both regularly. If your LD wants to bring their own console we'll patch into our rig with their gear. -
Can you produce a corporate brand launch with a live band?
Yes, this is one of the things we do most often. Audio engineer mixing the band, lighting designed to match the brand and the music, IEMs for the artists, broadcast capture for the highlight reel. The band is treated like a concert; the room is treated like a corporate event. Both work because the same crew runs both. -
Can you provide concert photography or a film of the show?
Yes. Event capture is one of our services, and like the rest of the production, it sits on the same brief, the same call sheet, and the same delivery pipeline. Pit photographers for the first three songs, multi-cam capture for the full set, highlight reel for socials, archive for the band.
