Sound Reinforcement

Madtech is a Sound Reinforcement Company. That means we make things louder. If you want to be able to understand what the 84 year old grandmother of 11 is saying on stage, from your seat in the back of the balcony section, then we’re your guys. If you want all 1200 people attending your band’s concert in the park to hear every beat of the drummer’s homage to John Bonham, then we’re your guys.

In order to make things louder we have a pretty substantial compliment of speakers, amplifiers, mics, cables, stands, and mixers that we will assemble into the appropriate configuration for your sound needs. We work with both bands and lecturers, business conferences, small clubs, and large outdoor music festivals. We are available to operate your gear, or we can provide the gear.

Rental P.A. (Public Address) Systems:
Pricing for P.A. rentals are dependent on a bunch of factors. How large a system do you need? How long do you need it? How many people will be using the system? How far from Madtech home-base is your event? Please call to discuss the details of your event so that we might be able to offer you the most economical solution to your sound reinforcement quandary. All rentals come with an engineer. (Gear isn’t available for rent without an engineer. Sorry.) Have a specific piece of gear in mind that you’d like to make sure we bring along? Just ask. We’re always happy to try to accommodate.
