Markets, community festivals and council stages: Eumundi, Noosa, Peregian, Caloundra
A stage system sized to the crowd, an engineer running changeovers and levels, battery or generator power, and the noise limit kept. Season rates for weekly and monthly markets.
Keep the acts moving, keep the sound consistent from the ten o'clock busker to the four o'clock band, and keep the neighbours and the council happy. Most market stages fail one of the three: a changeover that eats twenty minutes, a headliner twice as loud as the opener, or a level that gets the event a letter.
We run the stage to the running order. Every act gets a line check and a monitor mix, the compère gets a working mic and a nudge when the gap needs filling, and the level is measured and held. The system is sized to the crowd and tuned to the site, not just switched on.
Eumundi, Noosa Farmers, Peregian, Kawana, Caloundra Street Fair. A busker or acoustic stage that runs all morning without fuss, weekly or monthly on a season rate.
Council and community-group events with a stage, a run of acts, a welcome to country and a mayor's speech. One system does all of it.
Background sets through the afternoon, a chef demo with a headset, and a band as the sun goes down.
Big crowds, choirs, a school band, a countdown. Sized for the foreshore, run to a tight order.
Dance troupes with playback, drummers who need nothing, MCs in three languages, all on one stage in one afternoon.
A second stage or a sponsor's activation at a bigger event, see activations.
Council conditions on the Coast are real and organisers lose permits over them. Clean, even coverage means the back of the crowd hears without the front being blasted, and the reading at the boundary stays where it should. We ask for the conditions before we quote, measure during the day, and give the organiser a number if anyone asks.
Power is the other thing. Half the Coast's market sites have none. Battery systems cover an acoustic stage all day; bigger stages run from a silenced generator we bring, with the distribution done properly.
Fixed starting prices, GST included, delivered, set up, engineered and packed down. Season rates for recurring markets.
From $690inc GST, up to five hours, no mains needed

Extras: a second stage, a stage manager, two-way radios for the organiser's team, a screen for sponsors or a leaderboard, staging and marquees through partners, and a recording of the day for the acts. Everything is quoted in writing against the running order.
A weekly or monthly stage with the same crew and kit each time, at a rate that reflects the regularity. The organiser gets one invoice a month and a stage that acts want to play; we get a standing date. Ask about it if your market runs more than four times a year.
The running order, even a draft; the permit conditions; a site plan with the power and vehicle access marked; and a contact who'll be on site at 6am. We come back with a kit list, a quote and any questions the acts will want answered.
Ten to fifteen minutes for a band on a shared backline, less for a solo act. We run to the order, line-check every act and keep the compère informed.
Often not. Battery systems cover an acoustic stage all day; larger stages run from a silenced generator we supply.
We ask for the conditions before we quote, measure on the day, and hold the level. A good system makes that easy.
Yes. A season rate covers a weekly or monthly stage with the same crew and kit each time.
We supply sound, lighting and power. Staging, marquees and fencing come through partners on the same quote, or we work with what you have.
The site, the date, the acts and the permit conditions. A kit list and quote come back within a day or two.
