How to choose a Corporate Audio Partner

Choosing a Corporate Audio Partner can be hard. Here's how to make it easy!

If you are feeling overwhelmed with all this "Technology", or afraid of all things audio at your events, this well help big time! 


Here's the secret.  Ask each audio company for their prediction file! Yep, it's that easy.


What's a prediction file you ask?


Well, with today's technology we are blessed. All audio companies can computer model each venue for accurate predictions of how much PA you actually need and also where you need it for even audience coverage. Even audience coverage is how you get compliments instead of complaints.  We can overlay our prediction on your room drawings (Like the picture above) so you can see how seating, stage placement and design choices affect your audio coverage. Ultimately affecting your complaint/compliment ratio.  More even coverage = more compliments and less complaints.


If you come across an audio company that can't/doesn't make them, won't share it with you or says you don't need it....RUN!!!!! Cross them off the list and never call them again. They are just guessing at what might be needed or worse just selling you what they want to sell you, not what you actually need.  We didn't spend all this time, energy and stress for a guess! We want it to be right!

On a stage, one person stands at a podium and two sit at a table in front of a projection screen.
