Hire a sound engineer
Even when the technical setup is right beforehand, things can still shift during a programme: a speaker who talks softly, a microphone that starts to feed back, music that is turned up too loud. A sound engineer catches all of that. We provide an experienced engineer who builds, mixes and continuously monitors the audio.
Someone who watches the sound throughout
Good technology is about more than the right equipment. During a programme, all sorts of things change: one speaker talks softly, another steps away from the microphone, and the moment the music starts the balance needs to shift. A sound engineer keeps an eye on all of it and adjusts before your audience notices anything. That keeps everyone intelligible from start to finish.
Fast action when it counts
The value of an engineer shows the moment something goes wrong. A microphone that starts to feed back, a laptop that gives no sound, a speaker who suddenly talks much louder. An experienced engineer solves that in seconds. That is exactly the difference between a programme that runs smoothly and one that stumbles at the wrong moment.
Part of complete support
A sound engineer often works alongside the rest of the technical team. We combine audio with visuals, lighting and full technical support on location, so you have one point of contact watching over the entire programme. For a livestream or recording, the engineer makes sure the online viewer hears a clear mix too.
Setup and soundcheck
The engineer sets up the audio rig, aims the speakers and runs a full soundcheck before you start.
Live mixing
During the programme the engineer keeps the balance between speech, music and video audio in check and adjusts wherever needed.
Quick response
In case of feedback, a failing microphone or an unexpected change, the engineer steps in immediately, without your guests noticing a thing.
Frequently asked questions
When do I need a sound engineer?
For a full programme, multiple speakers, live music or a livestream, an engineer is recommended. For a short speech with a single microphone you can often manage yourself after our instructions.
What exactly does a sound engineer do during the event?
The engineer handles the setup, runs the soundcheck and mixes the audio live during the programme: the balance between speakers, music and video, and stepping in the moment something goes wrong.
Can one engineer also take care of the visuals?
At smaller events an engineer can combine audio and visuals. For a complex programme with multiple rooms or a livestream, we recommend a second engineer, so both picture and sound get the attention they need.
Do your engineers work throughout the Netherlands?
Yes. From Amsterdam we provide technical support for events throughout the Netherlands.
