How Much Does Sound Cost?
It depends! Listed below are starting prices for us to provide sound in local nightclubs
Prices will increase if the show has parking or load in obstacles, if the show is a "one-off" at
an unusual location, if the show requires more equipment / time / labor / materials than an
average show in a local club would need, etc., etc., etc., so....
it's always best to contact us for a quote in advance!

Sound
Soundman running your gear - prices start at $100
Soundman & rig - prices start at $250


Lighting
When you need more than a bare bones light rig, it's not a problem!

All of the following lighting will be controlled from FOH.

Current lighting inventory includes:
2 - Daisy 420B LED light bars - sixty 1 watt LED's per fixture - 5 colors/RGBAW

Partial list of things that will cause an event to cost more:

Parking / Restricted Access
* When load in is restricted for any reason, whether it be stairs of any kind, parking not available for the van and trailer within 15' of the load in door, long load in distance between door and stage area, stairs, etc,

Long Shows
* Shows that require early load in or delayed load out (our normal rate assumes 8 hours from beginning of load in to end of load out - 3 hours for set up - 4 hours for the show - approx 1 hour for tear down) Any time over that is $25/hr

Stairs
* Stairs (Already said that, but it needs to be repeated)

Multiple act shows/Open stages/Festivals, etc
* Multi act shows - usually $25 per additional act

Outdoor shows / Weather protection
* If a roof is not provided over both stage AND mixing areas, there will be additional cost for tents, tarps, plastic, as needed to protect the gear - $100 minimum
