Response from Focal Audio:
Thanks, Tad! It was a pleasure working with you and your charity!

Their broad array of services and expansive understanding of the industry has made their partnership a must in our event planning. I highly recommend them for your next event!
Friendly and knowledgeable
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.
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.
We ran a tour with a professional vocal band on the West Coast. We started the tour up a creek without a paddle. Such great sound gear and we had no idea how to make it work to its full potential.
We called Focal Audio to set up our system and troubleshoot issues. This tech was so knowledgable that we asked them to stay on for the whole tour!
He was professional, had a great ear for music, and therefore was able to mix with technical precision as well as artistic taste. After a short conversation, he had a perfect grasp of what we wanted in our sound - and he made it happen.
We will absolutely be using this company again!
Response from Focal Audio:
