Some venues have an in-house sound system, basic lighting or installed screens, while others provide little or no technical equipment. The first step is to establish exactly what is available, what condition it is in and whether it is suitable for the event.

Fusion Sound & Light can then design the production around the venue’s existing facilities. This may mean supplementing an installed system with additional microphones, speakers, lighting, staging, screens or technical control equipment.

Working with the venue early also helps identify practical considerations such as access times, loading arrangements, power availability, rigging restrictions, sound limits and the time available for setup and testing.
