Você é responsável por uma grande produção de eventos. Como você pode ter certeza de que o equipamento de áudio é de alto nível?

First and foremost - assess the true needs for the sound - type of microphones, interface, speakers - depending on where it is happening, what is needed to be amplified, for who, in what capacity - considering the expected outcomes of the event, as well as the needs to limit noise and inconvenience of all stakeholders. Doing proper reconnaissance will help you choose the right equipment, not necessarily the most expensive one and not the one that for the client rings the bell only with its brand. Once chosen, the checks and proper calibrations should follow together with ensuring the staff knows what they are doing. The ability to explain this and present to the client is also a factor of the ultimate success.

I know well about technical equipment for events but there is nothing better than having an expert on the team. Hiring a good technical director is essential for evaluating the equipment company, choosing equipment for each moment and ensuring that everything that is being assembled will work as planned.

O primeiro ponto é dimensionar o tamanho do evento. Espaço, capacidade e público. Além do perfil da apresentação e sonoridade que quer ser transmitida. Ter então bons e competentes fornecedores, que possuem produtos de qualidade, além de profisisonais de alto nível técnico, para que possam preparar tudo com perfeição. Deve-se ter tempo dísponível para a montagem de tudo, com calma, para que todos os testes sejam feitos, desde o microfone de um palestrante, até todos os intrumentos de uma banda. Após tudo montado com perfeição, podemos executar o evento com mais tranquilidade, mas sempre com um acompanhamento técnico e da produção durante todo o evento, para socorrer qualquer imprevisto.

As Mr. Kryg already commented - the right tool for the right job. Also consider if the users will be using them off the bat without any technical assistance, or will someone be there to show them proper use. If you have a lot of mics, remember power management (batteries, charging) as well as wireless management (channels, frequencies).

Der Akkustik ist etwas vom Wichtigsten. Bei Reden, Bühnen-Performance gibt es nicht viel Unangenehmeres, als wenn die Leute das Gesagte nicht verstehen. Die Raumgrösse, Anzahl Teilnehmenden, Positionierung der Lautsprechersind dabei sehr entscheidend. Nicht jede Anlage ist für jeden Ort geeignet, da mag sie noch so professionell sein. Es lohnt sich, hier genügend Budget zu investieren. Sound Check ist das A & O.

**2. Choose the right equipment:** * **Work with experienced audio professionals:** Consult technicians who understand your needs and can recommend suitable equipment. * **Invest in quality:** Rent or purchase high-fidelity speakers, microphones, mixers, and amplifiers from reputable brands. Avoid cutting corners with low-quality gear. * **Consider redundancy:** Have backup equipment on hand in case of technical issues.

Also, don't be shy about asking an expert for their opinions on what equipment might best suit your needs. There are a lot of people out there who know a lot more than myself or other random YouTube advisors. = If you're having trouble finding someone to advise, call up one of the major suppliers, often times you can find your local warehouse and schedule a time to go check out the equipment, get a tour, and pick their brains.

Existem algumas características que podem indicar se os equipamentos de áudio são de alto nível, como a marca e reputação do fabricante, especificações técnicas como potência, resposta de frequência e relação sinal/ruído, e a presença de recursos avançados como equalização precisa, cancelamento de ruído e conectividade versátil. Além disso, é importante considerar a experiência e o conhecimento do profissional responsável pela configuração e operação dos equipamentos.

In the contemporary global landscape, audiences increasingly anticipate spatial experiences, challenging the conventional mono or dual-mono systems. Elevate your event's audio expectations by considering even sound pressure levels across the venue. This shift responds to the growing demand for immersive auditory encounters, enhancing the overall impact and satisfaction of your audience. Stay ahead by embracing advancements that cater to evolving preferences in the world of audio experiences.

Buy equipment for what is being requested the most and keep it in locked storage. It is not hard to narrow down the best local sound company’s for the size and complexity of your shows. The serious providers will have well seasoned techs and the latest technology.

Do a test run and put contingencies in place. Draw up a list of different scenarios and make sure you cover them with the “how to” if the need arise.

And, make sure to test it again the day of the event early within the day. You want to give yourself plenty of time to troubleshoot or replace gear if required. You can never setup too early for an event.

**3. Testing and preparation:** * **Schedule a sound check:** Thoroughly test all equipment pre-event, adjusting for acoustics and ensuring proper levels and clarity. * **Microphone selection:** Choose microphones that match the specific needs of each speaker or performer. * **Mixing expertise:** Hire skilled sound engineers to operate the equipment and adjust sound throughout the event. * **Communication:** Ensure clear communication between audio professionals, event organizers, and performers regarding sound expectations and potential adjustments.

Many times the equipment you are providing is for the opening acts. Making a arrival time for the various venders is important and should be monitored throughout the day. If something seems wrong don’t wait till it is!

Test the audio and verified by a sound engineer is always something we did if we hosted an event with top-notch audio requirements

Equipping your team with the expertise to handle audio equipment is paramount. Provide comprehensive training for staff, ensuring they understand the operation, monitoring, and troubleshooting of the audio setup. Appoint a skilled audio engineer to manage the equipment, fostering clear communication with performers or speakers. Establish reliable communication channels and educate staff on safe handling and storage protocols. This investment in training enhances efficiency, minimizes errors, and safeguards against mishaps, contributing to a seamless and successful audio experience at your event.

And, train your staff to communicate properly, especially if they might interact with clients or performers. Too many audio technicians are great on the board, but cause frustration when communicating with the talent. - Also, teach them how to communicate issues or troubleshooting problems. There's no reason something not going according to plan needs to be blown up into a huge disaster getting everyone worried or scrambling panicked. The best staff addresses troubleshooting issues quietly and fixes them without clients knowing it was ever even a problem.

Hire people who have an interest and experience in sound and sound systems. I had a lot of luck finding garage band musicians, checking with collage electronics professors and holding job fairs.

Not only train staff, have them do a preliminary build out of what you’ll be doing onsite during pre production. That way when they show up on site it won’t appear as if it’s their first rodeo- even if it is.

Communication is key, especially in high pressure situations.....create a group chat in an app like group me that will allow all staff and sub groups to be able to communicate with each other effectively before, during, and after the event.

Na minha experiência, acompanhar a execução do evento é primordial para entendermos se as necessidades técnicas supriram a demanda. Durante todo o trabalho, podemos também perceber as necessidades do público, se supriu ou não as expectativas e se a qualidade do áudio está condizendo com o esperado. É comum também que o técnico de som faça uma varredura geral no local do evento, verificando se o som chega da mesma forma e com qualidade em todos os pontos.

Send your 2 most proficient tech’s to a 3 day audio seminar. Many large regional concert audio company’s hold these. If you are buying audio equipment, it would serve you well to get together with your techs and set up systems in different area’s and discuss your findings.

Feedback and reviewing your own work is the key to growth. Sometimes feedback is hard to come by, seeing as if you do your job right in this line of work the reward is often not being acknowledged. When you have down time to step away from your post, make it a goal to get a new perspective of what you're working on to see if it reads/feels the same outside of your station.

Hire one of the best live production audio engineers, and pay them whatever they want, within reason. The diminished stress that comes with paying a professional is worth more than the extra $500-$1000 that you're going to pay. If your org doesn't have that bread, find an individual or corporate sponsor that believes in your message *almost* as much as you do.

Foster strong communication and collaboration within your audio and event teams. Shared knowledge leads to creative solutions. The event can't be achieved just by you. Stay updated with audio advancements. Use cutting-edge technology for an immersive sound experience. Ask your technical team about this, they can teach you a lot! Also build relationships with vendors for access to the best equipment and support. Encourage your team's growth (hopefully pay for it) through workshops and training in the latest audio practices. Adhere to safety standards in audio setup and operation, protecting attendees and staff. Lead with empathy and flexibility, creating a positive and productive work environment. Something crucial: always listen!

Para garantir equipamento de áudio de alto nível, realizo pesquisa de fornecedores confiáveis, testes prévios, verificação de especificações técnicas, manutenção regular e contratação de equipe qualificada de acordo ao tamanho do evento. Desenvolvo um plano de backup e obtenho feedback pós-evento para melhorias futuras. Essas medidas asseguram a qualidade sonora e a satisfação dos participantes.

The job is not done after everything is plugged up and tested. The environment is likely to be different during the event. As the head of production, having open lines of communication with the team in a group chat will allow for swift attention to things that might need to be altered for guest experience. If the venue is large and spaced out, consider having 1-4 trust worth team members/guest who are there to enjoy the production in a group chat to have the guest experience perspective if anything seems off that you might be able to correct in real time.

Solicita equipos de audio profesional: Asegúrate de incluir sistemas de sonido de alta calidad, micrófonos, mezcladores, altavoces, monitores de escenario, y cualquier otro equipo específico necesario para tu evento. No olvides los accesorios como cables de alta calidad y soportes.
