Want to transform a tent into a palace? …a gymnasium into a theatre? …an arena into a ballroom? …

No problem! If you can imagine it, we can build it.

STAGE SOUND’s team of designers, decorators and technicians has transformed a variety of venues to suit the imagination of our clients. From stately and formal to futuristic and surreal, our expert use of custom sets, artful decoration, and imaginative lighting, allows us to magically transform nearly any space into the perfect setting for your event.

We work with all the tools of the trade, from the most common use of carpet and fabric to the most outrageous use of moving lights, lasers, and faux architecture. With a staff experienced in all of the important components involved; Design, Lighting, Decoration, Scenery, Audio, Video, Rigging, and Labor, we can insure that everything works together as intended for maximum impact.

Stage Sound specializes in Corporate Sound, Lighting and Video--unique fields within the staging industry. On the surface, it might seem that concert production and corporate/institutional production are nearly the same. It is true that both require first-rate equipment and an expert staff, but the similarities often end there. In concert work, the goal is usually to entertain. In corporate/institutional production, we must also communicate, motivate, and inspire. The mindset is different. The priorities are different. The personalities are different. Working in this challenging and unforgiving arena requires exceptional attention to detail, technical expertise, and superior people skills. In the last twenty years, we have built our staff and honed our procedures specifically to meet these needs.

From large internationally televised Presidential events to smaller corporate meetings, Stage Sound brings together unique tools and skills to create shows with impact.

As the largest and one of the oldest production companies in the region, STAGESOUND has provided concert sound and lighting for hundreds of top-name artists. We are experienced and comfortable with literally all types of musical performances from Hip Hop to Opera. We know what to expect, and when you hire us, you know what to expect.

A different approach

Our philosophy at STAGESOUND demands that we optimize our set up and gear for each and every event. Most sound and lighting companies have a few "standard rigs" which they send out to do many types of shows. We believe this cookie-cutter approach to production often requires too many compromises. We prefer to treat each event separately. We insist on showing up with the right speakers, elevated the right way to the right height and splayed to cover the right areas with the right control … etc. Our lighting systems arrive prepped, gelled, and optimized for each venue. We pride ourselves on our thoughtful and innovative ways of providing quality production services for a wide range of events without compromise.

A different philosophy demands different solutions

At STAGE SOUND we have always strived to do things correctly, not just cost-effectively. You can see a good example of this, if you look at our speaker towers in some of these photos. We have spent years developing effective ways to isolate, elevate and correctly array our speakers. We have learned that the careful choice and correct placement of the main speakers are probably the two most important factors in high fidelity sound reinforcement. Top touring professionals have known this for years and go to great lengths and expense to correctly elevate and array their speakers. Although the same laws of physics apply to smaller events as well, many companies simply stack the sound gear up on the stage, point it forward, and cover their ears. Even good gear can sound terrible if the speakers are splayed incorrectly or are too close to the stage. All of our systems have been carefully engineered ahead of time and our technicians are committed to getting it right on sight. Our larger systems use ATM Flyware’s MEGS system, which allows us to vary the distance between speakers, the down angle, and the splay. It is sophisticated, versatile, and, of course, safe. For outdoor shows, we have built custom speaker towers that allow us to fly entire arrays within them, with no sacrifice in fidelity, even in heavy weather. We have custom flying frames which allow us to use several types of lifts to elevate smaller speaker systems safely while assuring that the acoustic performance of the system is not compromised. We have also built proprietary hoists to allow us to elevate and stack speakers in high scaffolding when necessary. When you hire us, you can rest assured that we have done the math.

Safety

When it comes to conventional arena or theatre rigging, we have several experienced riggers on staff with the know-how to get the job done safely. We use horizontal lifelines on all our lighting trusses and roof systems with retractable vertical lifelines for ascent and descent. We were the first production company in the region to embrace the use of OSHA fall protection equipment and practices, and we remain a leader in safety technology.
