Clear and balanced audio & lighting can make all the difference when it comes to the success of a live event. Whether you are hosting a concert, a corporate conference, or a wedding, audio & lighting issues can derail your message and distract your audience.
Here are some common audio & lighting mistakes to avoid at your upcoming event:
- Skipping the sound check—One of the biggest mistakes we see is not leaving enough time for a proper sound check. Without it, levels could be off, feedback could occur, and your mics might not work. Always leave enough time for a thorough sound check before guests arrive.
- Using the wrong microphone type—Not all microphones are the same. Using a handheld mic for a quiet speaker or the wrong type of mic in a windy outdoor setting can lead to poor audio quality. Match the mic type to the speaker, the environment, and the application.
- Feedback issues—Nothing kills the mood of an event quite like high-pitched feedback. This often results from microphones being too close to speakers or volume levels being too high. Position your speakers carefully and use the right settings to minimize this risk.
- Poor speaker placement—If speakers are aimed incorrectly or put too far from the audience, this can result in dead zones. When you work with us, we will position the equipment correctly for even coverage throughout your venue.
