Large and small scale event

For a large event, for example we will rock you at west end, the sound team that you would require would likely

be two sound engineer, sound designer, sound stage technician and a sound system technician. Although all

these job roles would have similar knowledge, there jobs are very different.

For a small scale event, for example, you wouldn’t need a big crew, you'd likely only need a sound engineer and a sound stage technician. When we put on the small scale

event, Artisound, we only has a sound engineer and a sound stage technician.
