My venue has a PA — can I just hire your sound engineer?
Yes — we offer FOH engineer service for venues with existing house PA systems. Starting from $250, we send a seasoned engineer with 15+ years of experience to mix your live shows on your gear. No rental fees, just expert mixing. Available Wednesday through Sunday across Chicagoland.
Can you help our venue book bands and talent?
Yes — we work with local talent agents across Chicagoland and can connect your venue with bands, DJs, tribute acts, soloists, and festival lineups. Same-day callbacks, no middleman fees. Call or text 630-940-9119 with your venue, date, and what you're looking for.
What gear do you use?
We use RCF speakers — the best in the business — including tops, subs, and full line arrays. EV and LD Systems support gear. Behringer Wing 48-channel digital console. Shure and Sennheiser wireless mics. Chauvet and ADJ intelligent lighting. ADJ + BEYOND laser systems. LED video walls and HD projection.

How do I book you?
Call or text 630-940-9119, email [email protected], or use the contact form below. Same-day response — usually within hours.
Do you do bands, weddings, or corporate events?
All three. We run sound and full production for live bands (rock, tribute, original acts), full-band weddings, corporate galas, festivals, and brand activations. The same crew loads in, mixes the show, and tears down — no sub-rentals, no surprises.
What makes you different from other Chicago sound companies?
Three things: RCF speakers (most companies use cheaper PA gear), Behringer Wing console with full recall and broadcast-clean mixes, and everything in-house — sound, lights, lasers, video, photography all from one crew. No agency markup. No sub-rentals. Brian has 15+ years behind the board.
Do you do laser shows and video too?
Yes. Multi-color, audience-safe lasers (ADJ + BEYOND systems) with music sync. LED video walls or HD projection for live IMAG, content playback, lower-thirds, band logos and effects. Atmospheric haze, smoke, and CO₂ jets available.
Can you record or stream the show?
Yes — our Video Server service (starting $299) handles live event recording and streaming. Multi-cam capture, broadcast-clean audio mix, and ready-to-post highlight clips for socials, EPKs, and YouTube uploads.
