Professional Sound

"It sounds really good" -Bill Porter (Recording Engineer for Elvis Presley, Everly Bros, Roy Orbison...)

Sound quality is our highest priority.  We strive to achieve superior sound quality through extensive sound equipment research. 

 

We are currently one of the very few pioneering sound companies to use a digital mixing console live. And we also use all self-amplified speakers.

 

The results are astonishing:

  • Sound quality is crystal clear.

  • Setup time is one third that of a conventional system.

  • Self-amplified speakers take up less room for a cleaner looking stage.
