We provide professional live sound engineering and audio equipment for Concerts, Musical Theatre, festivals, or any event for that matter.
JR Richardson and Nick Davidsen pride themselves on delivering engineering excellence while fostering a supportive and enjoyable working environment.
Our professional sound equipment inventory offers high-quality solutions for various applications, and our live sound engineering credits include some of New Zealand's leading musical artists, and arts festivals cover a wide range of genres and performance styles.
Concerts
Live sound engineering for concert performances is one of our core areas of expertise.
We place emphasis on producing natural and intimate listening experiences that encourage audience members to engage with their performers.
We are passionate about microphones and take care to match the correct model to each source. This ensures instruments and voices are reproduced as accurately as possible.
In addition to supplying sound equipment, we can also source top-line instruments and backline should they be required.

Live Sound for Musical Theatre
We have extensive experience engineering sound for musical theatre productions - and can confidently take the entire sound department off your plate, delivering you results you will be proud of.
We can source and arrange delivery of top-quality sound equipment including radio mics for your cast, provide instrument mics for the live band or orchestra and suitable mixing consoles with full scene-recall capabilities.
Time in the venue is both limited and expensive and we understand that. That is why we will regularly engage with the production and creative team to ensure that planning is accurate and days in the venue are productive.
From design to delivery, we can take care of all things sound allowing you to focus your energy elsewhere.
