Live Sound Services
If you require a sound engineer to run your FOH mix with your own gear, or if you would like to rent a PA system for an upcoming gig or event, you've come to the right place. Encore Audio has years of experience mixing for bands of all genres. We also rent small powered mixers and systems for small venues to full PA systems for larger venues that can cover a crowd from 100 to 2,000 or more. No gig is too small or too large.
Our speakers consist of EAW, QSC & JBL speakers. We use powered QSC speakers and rack mounted QSC power amplifiers, dbx EQ's, and TC Electronics digital processors. Our microphone package includes top of the line microphones by Shure, Sennheiser, AKG, Audix, Audio Technica and Telefunken, and we provide professional DI boxes including Countryman and Radial.

Testimonials
Working with Darren and Encore Audio was a pleasure. These guys were professional and courteous and showed up with top notch gear. Darren was flexible to the bands requests and often knew to tweak things before we even said anything!

Darren recently ran my band's sound for an outdoor festival in Pittsfield, MA. Right from the start he surprised and impressed me and the rest of the band. Setting up, which is so often stressful, was relaxed and comfortable. He worked with each musician's needs and requests, and did so with an enthusiasm and surety that helped the band feel relaxed and confident. Our soundcheck was exhilarating... we sounded great right from the start. Darren took time to make sure both singers were happy with their monitor mix, and checked the sound of the whole band from various spots in the audience. During the set, he was constantly walking, checking, and adjusting, making sure we sounded as good as he could make us sound. On stage, we may never have sounded better. Fans of ours told us later that we sounded incredible. Darren, thanks. Your knowledge and professionalism was deeply appreciated, but your energy and enthusiasm made you stand out from many in your role.

Working with Darren and Encore Audio is always a pleasure, he provides top quality sound and top quality service. One of the most important tasks of a sound man is to stay by the board, much too often that gets forgotten, it is really nice to work with someone who doesn't just set it and forget it, Darren and Encore audio are always paying attention to what's happening on stage, staying by the board to make sure you're getting the most out of your performance!"
