If you notice the technology,
it was bad.
At a corporate event, nobody notices that the technology was good. It only gets noticed when feedback rips through the room, when the presentation will not come up on the projector, or when the managing director says thank you and the back tables cannot make out a word. Those three things are exactly what we work on beforehand.
Intelligibility before volume
A hall with hard walls and a glass front reverberates. Turning it up makes it worse — the reverb gets amplified along with everything else, and past a certain point the louder it gets, the less people understand. The answer is in the placement: several smaller speakers closer to the people, instead of two big ones at the front. It costs a little more rigging time, and it is the difference between a speech that lands and one where the back of the room starts chatting.
What goes on the screen
Projector or LED wall is not a matter of taste but a matter of how much light is in the room. A projector needs darkness — and if the lights stay on during dinner, the picture washes out. An LED wall stays strong even with the house lights up, but it needs more space and more rigging time. We tell you what works in your room instead of recommending whatever costs more.
The running order decides the technology
An awards segment with twenty names needs different lighting from a keynote, and a drinks reception with background music needs different sound from a band at the end of the night. Send us the running order even if it is not finished. The technology follows from it — not the other way round.
Ready before the guests are
Rigging and the technical check are finished before the first guests arrive — including a run-through of the presentations and a microphone check with the people who will actually be speaking. Speaking into a microphone for the first time in front of a full room is the worst possible moment to do it.
- ▸Sound, matched to the room and the number of guests
- ▸Radio microphones, lapel microphones and a lectern
- ▸Projector with screen, or an LED wall
- ▸Stage or riser for speeches and awards
- ▸Lighting for stage and room, colours matched to your brand
- ▸A technician on site for the whole evening
Every setup is cut to the venue, the guest count and the running order — this list is a starting point, not a packing list.
What we get asked most often.
Yes, and we strongly recommend it. Send it to us in advance or bring it along to the get-in — font sizes, aspect ratio and embedded video are the three things that otherwise show up in the room.
Not necessarily. It gives support and somewhere to put notes, but it reads as formal. Anyone who wants to move around the stage gets a lapel microphone. Either works, and either has consequences for lighting and sound — so decide beforehand.
Yes. A twenty-centimetre riser is often enough for the speaker to be seen. If there is no room at all it works without one — then we do more of the work with light.
It is possible, but it needs its own planning: camera, a separate mix for the stream and a connection that carries it. Tell us early if you are thinking about it.
