Services

Crescendeo can help with all aspects of live audio engineering in a wide variety of applications, including:

Equipment Selection

If you need some help buying equipment these days you be overwhelmed by your choices. We can help!

Let us work with you to ensure you really understand your needs today and the kinds of things you might want to do in the near future. It's easy to buy some equipment, realize that you can now do a lot more than you expected, only to be disappointed that you didn't consider a new scenario. We can help you find the balance of purchasing for today while keeping tomorrow's options open. And we can help you identify the right level of quality for your purposes. Let's be honest, you probably don't need a $1,000 microphone for that elementary school recorder ensemble recital!

Building and Installing Your PA System

If you need a new PA system we can help. If your needs are basic or typical then our job may just be to provide some oversight and cost cutting options. On the other hand, if you're looking for something unique like our Gershwin system, then we can be your turnkey provider. We can design, order, build, deliver, and install your system and then train your people on how to use it. The good news is that our combination of equipment might be unique, but we're not going to do anything that another sound engineer couldn't figure out, they might just wonder why they didn't think of it first.

Equipment Rental

If you are located in the Southeast US and would prefer to rent rather than purchase equipment, chances are good we can rent it to you for a fraction of what you would spend elsewhere. When you rent with us we ensure you have the right equipment and know how to use it. We ensure the equipment is in good condition and spend the time with you to ensure you have everything you need to ensure you event goes smoothly.

Coaching and Training

New to audio engineering? Need someone to train your students? Want to try something new? We can help. We have lots of experience in teaching people with no experience in how to do this kind of work. We don't do boring, and our training isn't a boring "by the book"' class. It's hands on using real equipment for the purpose of understanding the why behind the what. We then work alongside our trainees so they master their new skills quickly. We don't want to become your staff; we want your people to learn to do things on their own!

What We Don't Do

We do know our limits. We are not professional riggers and will not assist with flying PA or lighting systems or installing them at height. We like your people and your stuff and don't want to put anyone or anything at risk. We do, however, have contacts in those industries and will  be happy to help you select an appropriate partner.

We're also not as knowledgeable in lighting systems as many others, so you might want to find another partner for that work, as well.
