Live Sound Production

Stage 1 Sound has the capability to help you be heard! For events like music festivals, graduation ceremonies, concerts, award shows, presentations, plays, etc we have what it takes.  The gear you would need to rent to equal our equipment offering would be a massive expense- let alone that it is nearly impossible due to most music stores not having the size or calibre of equipment Stage 1 Sound offers.  Not only do we have what it takes for indoor or outdoor sound production at rates below what you should expect- Dan will be there to set it up and run it.

Don't waste time and fuel driving to a music store to rent a piece of equipment you know you need, but don't fully know how to use. Leave the sound to a pro. Give your audience a true reflection of what your event is all about by giving Dan a call!
