Audio production — FAQ

Common questions on this service.

• Can you handle a venue without house PA?

  Yes. We routinely bring complete PA systems sized to the venue and audience, line array for larger rooms, point-source for smaller, with full subwoofer support when needed.
• Do you provide IEMs for performers?

  Yes. We carry Shure and Sennheiser IEM systems with appropriate antenna distribution. We coordinate frequencies and provide ear-pieces if not preferred-brand by artists.
• Can you mic a panel for both the room and broadcast?

  Standard practice. We supply lavaliers or boundary mics into a console split, one feed to the room, one tailored for stream/recording so the broadcast mix isn't compromised.
• How do you handle wireless mic congestion?

  We do an RF scan before every event, coordinate frequencies, and prefer venues' coordinated channels when available. For high-density events we'll bring extra spectrum analysers and antenna distribution.
• Do you bring spare microphones in case one fails?

  Yes, and we bring them pre-built into a hot-swap configuration so a failed mic can be replaced in under 30 seconds without disrupting the show. Wireless transmitters get a fresh battery every 90 minutes during the event regardless of meter readings, with spent packs going on the charger for the next swap cycle. We typically carry 25-30% spare wireless capacity beyond the channel count the event needs, with backup receivers cabled in and ready to switch. A dead battery on the CEO's lav is one of the most preventable failures in the industry; we treat it that way.
• How do you handle audio for outdoor events with weather risk?

  Weather contingency is baked into the design. Loudspeakers and consoles go under marquees or weatherproof covers with IP-rated cabling for any runs that will be exposed. We pre-deploy weather-resistant gear (covers, ground tarps, surge protection) and have a documented degraded-mode plan if conditions worsen mid-event. Wireless mic transmitters get weather-resistant pouches for outdoor presenters. For very wet weather we may switch to wired audio paths or recommend rescheduling. The site visit identifies these risks early so the proposal accounts for them rather than improvising on the day.
• What's your approach to audience Q&A microphones?

  Three options depending on the event format. For small panels we use roving wireless handhelds with runners trained to position the mic correctly for audio capture. For larger events we set up boom-stand mics in the aisles that attendees walk up to. For hybrid events with remote attendees, we increasingly recommend Slido or similar moderated chat tools where in-room questions go through the same channel as remote ones, making the remote audience first-class. Pick the approach during planning, not on the day. Audience mics that arrive late or aren't positioned properly are the most common stream audio failure we see.
• Can you record multi-track audio for post-production while we stream?

  Yes, this is standard for any event where the recording matters. The multi-track recording captures each microphone and each input on its own channel, independent of the broadcast mix. Your editor can re-balance, EQ, or remix any element after the event. We use Sound Devices recorders or DAW capture (Pro Tools, Reaper) depending on channel count. The recording runs in parallel with the live stream and the live PA mix, so all three outputs are happening simultaneously without compromising each other. Files are delivered same-day or next-day in BWAV format, ready for any editing platform.
