Rooms That Have to Sound Right
In this town the audience is the industry. Half the room has mixed a record, and they will hear the thing you hoped they would not.
Thirty Years in a Town That Notices
Nashville Audio Visual has been loading into this city’s rooms since 1995 — 25,000+ events, including CMA Fest and NFL Draft production experience. We own the inventory: line arrays, digital consoles, wireless, in-ear monitors, moving lights, truss and staging. That matters on a music event more than anywhere else, because the gear does not get swapped for whatever the sub-rental house had left on a busy weekend.
Artist and label events run on a schedule that changes twice before doors. Our crews are used to it: they advance the venue, build early, and stay through the last song. See the rooms in our gallery, read a few event spotlights, or start with audio services and event production.
Common Questions
Do you provide sound for live bands and showcases?
Yes — that is core work for us. A band needs more than speakers: a properly sized front-of-house system, monitors or in-ears the musicians can actually work with, a digital console with enough inputs, and an engineer who has mixed a live band before. For showcases and listening parties we also handle high-quality playback, because a room full of industry people will hear a bad source.
Can you handle festival and outdoor stages?
Yes. Outdoor sound is a different discipline — line arrays and delay towers sized to the field rather than the headcount, generator power and distribution, weather protection for the console and amps, and changeover plans between acts. We also provide the staging, truss and roof structures, so the whole thing comes from one crew rather than three vendors meeting for the first time on load-in day.
Do you work with artist and label teams directly?
Regularly. Most music-industry events come to us through a label, a management team, a publicist or a venue, and we are comfortable working from a rider, an advance, or a text message that says the plan changed again. We will tell you plainly what is possible in the time available rather than agreeing and improvising on the night.
What does a music event cost?
It depends almost entirely on the room and the program. As a reference from our published cost guide, a basic PA runs $300 to $600, a corporate or live-band system for 100 to 500 people ranges from $1,500 to $5,000, and full stage lighting with DMX programming and moving heads ranges from $2,000 to $10,000+. Large concerts and multi-day productions go well beyond that. We quote itemized so you can see what each part costs.
Can you do broadcast or streaming for an awards show?
Yes. We provide camera switching, IMAG, confidence monitors, encoders and a dedicated operator, plus the audio feed a broadcast or stream actually needs rather than a microphone pointed at a speaker. For a program of many short segments, we also provide the show caller who keeps it on time.
How quickly can you turn around a last-minute event?
Faster than most, because the inventory is ours and it is across town rather than in another state. We have built rooms on very short notice. What we will not do is take a job we cannot execute properly and find out at doors — so call, describe the room and the date, and you will get an honest yes or no.
