Frequency City Sound & Lighting is a regional based pro-audio, lighting and event management company based in the Greater Cincinnati area. We specialize in live sound reinforcement, lighting, power distribution, staging, and event management for festivals, concerts, night clubs, city functions and corporate events.
Why do I want to be a client of a concert tour type sound company instead of an online music store? Read on.
Music stores make their bucks on retail guitar sales and trumpet/violin rentals to schools. Most of the guys at the shops are good dudes and gig on the weekends. They have a little knowledge of everything in the store. Their primary push to you is whatever they're using on their weekend gigs or what pays a $5 manufacture's spiff for a sale. I've been there; I managed a music store here in Cincinnati 25 years ago.
At a sound company we specialize in live sound. We're specialists in the areas of speaker enclosures, power amps, mixing consoles, and all styles of stage monitors. We just did the sound, lights and stage for Styx for a crowd of 22,000 people. It's a different caliber of professionals around the stage wearing the "All Access" pass (there are no music store dudes).
An analogy – you want to improve the torque on your car's engine. Your options for direction on this move are the guy at the NAPA auto parts store or a NASCAR race driver's pit chief who also sells parts. Dig?
During the summer, we're pretty much on the go 'round the clock. Ever notice that music stores are closed when you're setting up the show and there's a technical question? My cell phone is on if I'm awake. I value my customers and I'm here as your consultant (plus I love this stuff).
Pricing: Being an authorized dealer of all the lines we sell new, we can not advertise below the MAP price (manufacturer's lowest advertised price). We can, however, sell below MAP and often do. Feel free to email and we can set up a Buy It Now eBay deal for you that keeps the manufacturers and eBay happy.
I know that along with service, there needs to be a good deal on the front end. Let me assure you – we can play. |
