25.01.2022 Audiophiles! Read this: Did you know our 4x QSC PLD4.5 amplifiers can collectively output some 30,000 watts of power spread over 4x channels?? Massive isn't it?! Well, these units also give us the ability to have 4x channels of 2000w each, per amplifier, at 4ohms. So we could actually run 16x channels at 2000w (4ohms), in 8 rack units!... Flexible Amplifier Summing Technology (FAST) drives most any loudspeaker system or configuration by distributing total amplifier power across one, two, three, or all four channels. Absolutely astounding and one of the reasons we love these amps. Plus they sound fantastic when combined with our QSC #ESeries system. Its no wonder we have clients and patrons say that it sounds really good Get in touch if you need gear for your next show or tour. #audiophile #shows #events3260 #eventswarrnambool #events3280 #gearalert #audioengineering #audioengineer #amplifiers #audio

16.01.2022 This photo is one of only a very select few that I cherish and hold closely. The first image, taken on 27 August 2016, was with The Coodabeen Champions and Andrew Powell. It was from an evening hosted by the Port Campbell Dairy Discussion Group. I was the production provider for the event at the Timboon Hall. Andy (pictured 2nd from right - next to me) lost his life 1 year ago to the day yesterday, along with his father Ross (Po), when attempting to rescue a stranger caught i...n bad waters off the coast of Port Campbell. Although I do not have a photo with Ross and myself to share, I do have images in memory of the times I had with him teaching me about the farm and job. They were Hero lifesavers, mentors, leaders, volunteers, and bosses to me when I took up my first job to work on their farm in Cooriemungle. They taught me so much about dairy farming over the years I was there, which lead me to more work in the agricultural industry to get me off my feet. I cannot thank them both enough for all that they did for not only me, but for us all as a community. The second image, where I am dressed in Red, was taken on Friday 3 May 2019. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the funeral for Po and Andy due to an event I was already scheduled to be working at. I requested to come out of uniform and to dress in Red for them both, which was approved by my workplace. They will both, forever hold a place within me. May they Rest In Peace.

15.01.2022 In response to COVID-19, we will be reviewing the situation at the end of April 2020 to assess if it is viable to proceed with the Gala. It is not just up to us..., as our venue also has to consider its ability to continue to hold events under current circumstances. So sit tight and stay tuned. And importantly, take care of each other See more

15.01.2022 As we go into another 6x weeks of lockdown, I wish everyone the very very best for what will be a very difficult time for all of us. It will hurt businesses, jobs, the economy, and most concerningly ... peoples lives. I want to let everyone know that if they want to just have a chat, to please give me a call or send an email or text message.... Attached is something you may find useful from DHHS about creating face masks. It will become mandatory as of tonight (Sunday 2 August 2020 at 2359HRS) to wear a face mask - or risk getting fined. Again, please reach out if you need! We are in this together.

14.01.2022 Happy Mothers Day!!

Its the way we work and are renowned for which gives us exceeding results every time! These are our favourite mics in our collection of 21x different mics - our AKG #C414XLS pair. In fact... we have a total of 56x microphones in our collection, ranging from Cardioids, to Condensers, to Contact mics....

11.01.2022 We are so lucky to be apart of an amazing industry but with the onset of COVID-19, the next few months will be difficult for not only us, but the entertainment industry as a whole as well as for a lot of other industries, business and people.. We will soon make changes to the way that we deal with client face-to-face meetings, and how we collect event information and once implemented, these changes will be announced. We estimate this will be in the next 2 weeks. If you as an ...event organiser wish to postpone your event due to Coronovirus concerns, we will be happy to assist. We will be putting a page on our website soon that will have some further details. If you have any other questions, or concerns regarding an upcoming event, please get in contact ASAP. Please stay safe, and look after each other. Cheers Chris

09.01.2022 A little bit about our Director: Chris has been an active DJ, sound, lighting and video engineer for over 8 years. He has experience working at anything from birthdays to weddings, to all sorts of public and corporate events. During the week, he actively works at the Colac Otway Performing Arts & Cultural Centre, as Acting Operations, Event Support and Technical Officer. His role involves looking after a range of events (anything from meetings, to corporate events and theatre...) as well as event setup, teardown and event management. This is something that he is extremely passionate about. He is also an Avid Pro Tools Certified User, HDBaseT Alliance Certified Installer, is Audinate Dante Level 3 Certified, and is working to complete his Batchelor of Arts (Audio Production) at Collarts in Melbourne. He is also an active AVIXA member. In his spare time, the 23-year-old enjoys learning new technologies around Audio, Video and Lighting, as well as computer networking technologies. He also enjoys watching movies as well as flying aeroplanes (something he has thoroughly enjoyed since he was 14 years old).

08.01.2022 Our first wedding in months!! We are so excited to be getting back into it!! Can anyone guess where we are tonight?

08.01.2022 Our profile will be lit in all red for a little while. We stand in solidarity with the rest of our brothers and sisters in the event/entertainment industry who are out of work due to no fault of our own. Most of us have spent our lives getting to the point to where we can make a living doing what we love to do. And we have worked so hard to achieve. We have spent years building our businesses from the ground up. Time, money, more time, more money, and constant grinding has br...ought us here. If we fail it should be because WE caused the failure and not because we are forced to be shut down. This is our passion. This is our dream. The Dream is to do what you love for a living. We have accomplished that, and will continue to make smiles for those that need a smile the most... all of us! #WeMakeEventsAus is now at Red Alert to raise awareness of Australias thousands of highly skilled industry professionals, all of whom have had no work since March with little likelihood of restarting well into 2021. Our industry includes a huge supply chain ranging from production, audio, lighting and video, to logistics, planning, transportation, and some of the worlds leading technology manufacturers. Without additional support for the supply chain, Australia is in danger of losing its global position as a world leader in world-class events. Moreover, all of our incredible creatives and technicians could lose their livelihoods for good. Feel free to join in. #WeMakeEvents #WeAreEvents #CodeRedRestart #saveourstages #WeMakeEventsAus

08.01.2022 Two things are clear: 1. Now that a politician has made the Hottest 100, it is no longer hot. Sorry about that. 2. It's officially time to get on the beers.

07.01.2022 Love this photo I got this morning! Thanks for sharing Colac Otway Performing Arts & Cultural Centre! Many of you may not actually know that I work here during the week as Acting Operations, Event Support and Technical officer. Never ever is a dull moment, and I love it here!
