Hire Audio & Lighting Engineers
in Orange County
Concert and casino-show veterans available by the day or full tour. FOH audio engineers, monitor engineers, lighting designers, and operators with the resumes to back it up.
What We Provide
Equipment is rentable. Experience isn’t. Our roster includes touring veterans who’ve mixed Vietnamese music shows at major casinos, festival main stages, broadcast specials, and corporate galas across Southern California and beyond. They show up ready to work, with their own headphones, a calm demeanor when things get tense, and the muscle memory of running shows on the consoles your tour rider specifies.
We provide engineers for events using our equipment AND for events using yours. Some clients have great gear but need a trained operator — we match the right person to the role.
Premium Brands We Deploy
Our engineers and designers work fluently across the consoles, software, and platforms used in major touring and broadcast productions:
- FOH audio engineer — mixes the main PA for the audience
- Monitor engineer — runs in-ear and stage-wedge mixes for performers
- Lighting designer (LD) — designs and programs the lighting rig from concept through show
- Lighting operator — runs pre-programmed cues live on GrandMA3, Hog 4, or ChamSys
- Patch / system tech — signal flow, troubleshooting, RF coordination, redundancy
- Stage manager — calls show flow, coordinates with performers and venue
- Bilingual engineers (English + Vietnamese) — critical for Vietnamese-American productions
- Audio console fluency: DiGiCo SD-series, Yamaha CL/PM, Allen & Heath dLive, Avid Venue / S6L, Soundcraft Vi
- Lighting console fluency: GrandMA3 / GrandMA2, Hog 4, ChamSys MQ, ETC Eos
If your tour rider specifies a console or workflow we don’t have in-house experience with, tell us — we have a deep network and will match the right engineer to the rider every time.

Common Use Cases
Engineers earn their keep on events where things can go wrong but won’t. Live bands with multi-input rider sheets need a real FOH engineer — not a band member trying to mix from stage. Concerts with broadcast feeds need a separate broadcast mix engineer. Lighting on a festival main stage needs an LD who can program GrandMA3 in advance and operate live. Multi-day conferences need a system tech keeping wireless mics RF-clean across sessions. We supply the right person for the role, sized to the show.
Frequently Asked Questions
By default, no — they show up to operate equipment that's already on-site (yours or our rental). They bring personal items: headphones, talkback mic, USB stick. If you need them to bring gear, we'll quote that separately.
Yes — many of our engineers are fluent in Vietnamese, which is critical for working with Vietnamese-American artists, MCs, and event staff. Specify when booking and we'll match accordingly.
Yes — that's actually the most common ask. Send us the rider during the quote process. We'll review the input list, console specifications, and any artist-specific requirements, and match an engineer who has the right console fluency and concert pedigree to deliver.
It scales with show complexity. Wedding with a DJ and a few wireless mics: a competent operator is fine. Live band with a 24-channel input list: dedicated FOH engineer required. Headlining concert with monitor mixes and broadcast feed: separate FOH and monitor engineers minimum. We'll advise based on the show during the consultation.
Yes — for events with 12+ wireless channels, multi-day RF environments, or interference-prone venues, we provide a dedicated RF / system tech who handles frequency coordination and troubleshooting throughout the event.
