live sound
With over ten years’ experience in high-level event production with the industry’s newest technology, proprietor Charles Hagaman can fill many roles as a freelancer to amplify the quality of your live event.
“From digital stage boxes and input racks and audio-over-IP, to affordable in-ear monitoring and the evolving use of spatial audio, modern live sound technology is iterating at an astonishing rate.
My goal in live sound engineering is connectedness: to make sure the performers are monitoring each other on stage and connected in whichever way they are most used to, and to give the audience a sound mix that bolsters and enhances the performance on stage. From subtle, unobtrusive sound reinforcement to bombastic, physical amplification, live sound engineering should enfold the entire audience with the energy on stage.”

Whether from front-of-house or from stage, Charles has the experience and the expertise to ensure that every input is cleanly connected, performers on stage feel supported by their monitoring, the main mix enhances the performance, and PA coverage extends to the whole audience — and that sound check will run efficiently and on time.

Production Manager
Preproduction, production advancing, and a rock-solid technical rider are keys to ensuring your event’s success long before load-in and day-of-show.
