We call ourselves 'mobile' because we go and help the client
at his situation. We get in the car or van and go to you with our expertise. We have been doing
this for more than 20 years learning more and more how to best help you, the cient, in your variety
of situations.
It works something like this. Unless the client knows exactly what equipment or book
resources/facilities he wants, we listen to his/her needs, we evaluate the situation and we propose
and discuss the options. Finally, as the needs dictate, we arrange to visit or communicate with
the venue of choice well in advance of the function to further assess facilities in place and
refine the best option. An agreement is worked out with the client and, unless further developments
we arrive at the propriate date and time to set up and operate the system as agreed. Initially intended to provide recording services to conventions, conferences, seminars,
retreats, concerts & church services we soon found that organisers often became very interested
in the supplementary PA we sometimes coupled in to facilitate recording. Bypassing a poor
in-house system, with its clicks, pops, buzzes and reverberation problems meant we had better
control of the quality of recording, and the audience received the benefit of the clearer, higher
quality sound. Organisers with limited budgets, interested in such PA support were made aware
of its affordability by the possibility of offsetting costs by their bulk purchase of tapes
recorded at the function and selling them at a retail price of their choosing. The more tapes
they sold, the less the extra PA cost them. With sufficient promotion of tapes, some ended up
with a big smile on their faces as they found that tape sales had completely covered their costs
and still had a surplus to offset a shortfall in other areas. It is primarily because of our
ability to offer on-the-spot duplication, labelling and packaging facilities that we are open to
such flexibility when negotiating agreements. This is particular significance to organisers when
tape sales per head are high. Call us. We are only too happy to talk with you about ways to
achieve your goals in the most economical way.
IT IS AMAZING HOW POORLY MANY ORGANISERS RATE THE AUDIO NEEDS OF THEIR CONFERENCES & EVENTS!!! Surely it should be a primary consideration if they have paid hundreds or, perhaps, thousands of dollars to hire keynote speakers and then do not take the trouble to ensure that the audience will comfortably hear the message/presentation that they are there to deliver. Sometimes one get the impression that it is the job of the audience to ensure that they can hear the speaker in those thin-walled, poorly PA-equipped halls and venues often located next to a major road. Unfortunately, it isn't: it's not just the organiser's job, it's his/her RESPONSIBILITY!!. And simply raising the volume output level may not solve the problem. In fact, it can generate others.
Our engineer is available to help you plan the integration of adequate audio needs into your event. Don't take the risk of having people walk out early or complaining to you or their friends or colleagues afterwards because they could not hear the speaker(s) clearly or sound was intolerable. If you want the message heard, if you want it to have effect, if you want it to bring results to the listener as well as to those you represent, get your audio right! Seek out the professionals at the planning stage, not when its too late!
While we can provide an operator to setup and man the equipment during your event, if this event is a regular one, it may be of more benefit to you in the short term as well as the long, to train one of your staff in the basics of PA setup and operation. He/she may not become an accredited audio engineer, but he/she should certainly be capable of handling the day-to-day operation of your facilities. The minimal training period may only need to be a few hours if the interest and enthusiasm there. Otherwise, it may need to be stretched out somewhat to ensure that they have the 'feel' and confidence of what to do. (Click here for Personnel Service Details)
