Live music can vary from a single musician playing the guitar to full bands playing in front of hundreds or even thousands of people. These performances can be a part of public, private or corporate events. The technical requirements of events that add live music to their schedule or program can differ significantly.
We carry a variety of professional Sound Systems based on the audience size, either ground supported or flown. Our lighting options range from utility to full concert style lighting.
There are key elements you may want to ask or consider:
Does the band have a rider? A rider may impact the production quote.
What size stage or performance area is required?
Will the band be available for a sound check before the event starts?
Have you heard the band live?
Can they provide the production team with a stage plot and input list?
Do they need additional backline or are they providing all required instruments and amplifiers.
Outdoor Events
Enjoy the peace of mind that a covered stage or tent can bring. Event organizers often cross their fingers when it comes to planning an outdoor event due to possible rain. In most cases, the entertainment will still go on with a covered mobile stage or event tent. They will help keep your musicians and the equipment dry. For any outside event, a backup plan is highly recommended when cover is not provided.
Special Occasions/Dances
Whether you rent a hall, backyard, house party, outdoor tent or stage, we have the perfect technical expertise and state-of-the-art sound equipment to ensure your guests have a stellar experience. For any audience size under 150, you can take advantage of our value-added D.I.Y. Specialty Package, but we highly recommend adding at least one subwoofer when your event involves dancing. Our specialty lighting is another excellent way to turn a gathering into a spectacular party.
Festivals
Let us help you determine your Sound and Lighting requirements for your next Festival. If required, we would assess the audience size, number of acts/bands, stage, logistic planning, and entertainment. MTAV can assemble the perfect Sound and Lighting package suitable for all types of entertainment. Please tell us about your event for larger audience sizes, and we can personalize your specific equipment needs. We work well with event planners, organizers, promotional agencies, townships and municipalities.
We will be onsite to ensure smooth transitions between performances, whether your entertainment includes live music or DJs—comedians, public addresses, dance groups, etc. We will work hard to ensure everyone, including the performers and audience, has a memorable time.
Bands
Technical requirements for a band can vary greatly. We can help you assess your needs based on audience size, members, monitor mixes, location, lighting, power requirements and technical support. Ask us about our Full Support pricing. Though there are exceptions, most Public Address (P.A.) and D.J. systems can't handle the requirements of live music.
As we know, moods can be altered by Music. We can set the tone or ambiance of any Event by the type of Music we play. But what if that Music doesn’t sound pleasant or the volume isn’t appropriate?
Music does not necessarily have to be loud to initiate emotion, but it does need to be clear, intelligible and pleasing to the ear. We provide quality, state-of-the-art, and Professional Sound & Lighting Equipment Rentals. Sound Better = Your Audience enjoys Longer!
What is the expected audience size.
How will the weather impact the performers, guests and FOH tech.
Is your potential location site easily accessible for a mobile stage or stage, tent and production load in.
We recommend that you plan early. Verify with your township or city regarding Event applications.
Will you require additional backline? If yes, please contact us for pricing.
Will you require a DJ to fill in the gaps between your Live Music? MTAV can fill music during band sets.
For those needing quality equipment, please take advantage of our value-added Specialty Packages and suggested add-ons based on the number of guests. We provided a briefing at pick up, a detailed instruction manual and tutorial videos of our most popular rentals. Our goal is to take the fear out of your A.V. equipment needs. A.V. Made Simple!
