This is the first of three posts that summarise our thinking in each area of our business – audio, video and acoustics.
We aim for sound that puts smiles on people’s faces. Great audio is an emotional experience for people in the audience. But from an event perspective there is more to it. These are my top three considerations.
1. Great sound that looks the part
The essence of great sound is the choice of equipment and its placement. But equally important is how it looks. We go to great lengths to make our systems look good. Clean and well presented, in black or white with bespoke hides and custom rigging.
2. The importance of system set-up
The way a system is set up determines the impact it will have on the audience. This is an art. It can be assisted by technology, but the most sophisticated tool we use is our ears. 'Good sound' is subjective, but we've been putting smiles on people's faces for over 25 years, so we must be doing something right.
3. Sound distribution
We can design systems that ensure even sound distribution throughout the event space, or be highly directional to create isolated pockets in different areas.
What do you think? What are your top three considerations?
