Audio for Performing Arts venue

We first hired Focal Audio to run sound for Herman’s Hermit at the Columbia Theatre in March of 2015. Daniel at Focal Audio is professional, courteous and a master mixer; extremely knowledgeable and adaptable. Daniel even spent time helping us learn the basics of the digital console we had just purchased.

Excellent and Professional

We have worked with Daniel many times over the past couple years at Imago Dei Community on small and large scale events and we don't look elsewhere for a reason. He is timely, super pro, very kind and works well to meet the individual needs of each event. He works especially well with live music as he is a musician himself and knows how to meet the needs and preferences of other musicians. I've seen him excel in managing sound and lighting for worship services, retreats, conferences and more on a variety of systems. He comes fully equipped with an awesome system, but also can work with an existing system to make an excellent soundscape. Highly recommend.
