FAQ about hiring a Sound Technician

What is a sound technician?

expand

A sound technician is an audio expert that specializes in assembling and operating an audio setup for any type of performance, production, concert, or event. Their responsibilities include setting up the technical equipment needed for amplifying, enhancing, recording, and mixing live sound. They also maintain the equipment throughout the event and then tear down after.

How much does it cost to hire a sound technician?

expand

On average, a professional sound technician costs $300-$900. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the type of event, the length of the event, the number of technicians required, and their skill level. A sound technician may have certain system requirements so be sure to confirm what those may be and if they are compatible with your venue.

When should I hire a sound technician?

expand

An experienced sound technician is vital to ensuring a quality audio experience for weddings, concerts, parties, fundraisers, and other special events. Whether you want your audience to hear a presentation clearly or feel a heart-pounding guitar solo, hiring a sound technician who can evaluate a venue and adapt to different equipment will make sure that any recorded or live sound at your event is the highest quality.

Whats the difference between a sound technician and a sound engineer?

expand

Sound engineers are typically more involved with the creative process of audio production and audio recording, while sound technicians handle the more technical aspects of a live sound or music production. A sound technician will have the training and experience to adapt to any event, venue, or equipment to provide a high-quality audio experience at your event.

For most events, a sound technician is all you’ll need. However, some bands or singer/songwriters will prefer to have a live sound engineer on hand to make more advanced adjustments to the various instrument and microphone outputs throughout the performance. In this case, the engineer might act as the technician as well, or they will bring additional technicians to assist them.

Do sound technicians provide their own equipment?

expand

Sound techs typically provide their own equipment including PA systems, speakers, and microphones. They are also able to use their training and experience to adapt to systems that may be provided by venues. Inquire about your venue’s setup in advance and have that information ready prior to booking as it may affect the price.

What types of questions should I ask my sound technician before booking?

expand

It’s important to find out what their equipment requirements are and if your venue will be able to accommodate those. You’ll also want to ask about their qualifications. Have they attended any courses on new audio, mixing, and production techniques? Do they have a speciality? And with hiring any professional you’ll want to see reviews from past clients.

Do bands provide their own sound technicians?

expand

Many live bands are prepared to handle their own setup and tear down of all technical and audio equipment. They may also bring a technician with them to maintain the audio throughout the performance. Some venues may also provide audio technicians. This should be discussed with your band and venue prior to booking so you know exactly what will be needed for your budget.
