Live Sound

Both before and after Audio Engineer’s creation we continue to work with some of the world’s biggest artists and stages. We consult and supply engineering talent for the world’s biggest PA rental houses and festivals as well as working for household name artists directly.

We started out as mix engineers and that remains our passion! We have toured the world an lived off that thrill of the crowd. Whether analogue or digital, or better yet a marriage of the two, crafting a mix is our greatest pleasure.

Front of House:

You have very likely heard our mixing at a show without realising it. From our founder, Simon Ryder, to our team of some of the most renowned engineers in the world, we can find an engineer that fits your act. People who lovingly craft every aspect of their mix with a deep passion for4 the music involved. We stay at the forefront of mixing technology and technique.

Monitors:

Over 20 years as a touring monitor engineer has led our founder to some conclusions and ideas of how a stage can work. These ideas are now being put into place on some of Europe’s biggest stages and with some of the world’s largest PA firms. We have systems in place that can make your stage a success, or propel your act to the next level. The picture below is a not uncommon view of a busy festival main stage monitor world and gives an idea of the sheer scale of planning that is involved.

A very busy monitor world.

Systems Engineering:

This very neatly ties into the design side of things. Click Here to find our page on this with more detail. We work with all brands of PA system, with extensive experience of D&B, L’Acoustics, Meyer, DAS, Nexo, Martin and more.
