The build

From an empty room to doors

Six departments, each one a system designed for your room. Scroll through a load-in: this is what we put in the room, in roughly the order it goes in.

  1. Cue 00

    An empty room

    Every show starts with the room itself: the dock, the power, what the ceiling can hold. We learn it before we quote.

    Staging & drape

    Stages, risers, pipe and drape, velvet walls, and scenic — built and struck by our crew, designed as one piece with your audio, video, and lighting.

  3. VID

    Video & LED

    LED video walls, projection, IMAG, and PTZ camera systems — engineered for your content and your sightlines, with an operator behind every screen.

  4. AUD

    Event audio

    PA systems, wireless microphones, and program audio — tuned to the room, mixed by an engineer who stays on the board from doors to close.

    Event lighting

    Stage, intelligent, and architectural event lighting — designed for your room and your cameras, hung and operated by our own lighting crew.

    Hybrid & streaming

    Livestreams, webcasts, hybrid town halls, and press feeds — produced with dedicated engineering so the remote audience gets a real program, not a security-camera view.

    Show production

    Production management and show calling for full programs — one team owning the design, the advance, the crew, and every cue on show day.

    Then the room fills up, and the crew that planned the show runs it.

Rooms

We know Baltimore’s rooms before load-in day

Every venue has a version of the truth that isn’t in the sales packet: the dock schedule, the freight elevator’s real dimensions, where the power actually is. We write it down, room by room, and put it into your plan.

Before you ask

The four questions everyone asks

  1. 01 Do you rent AV equipment without a crew?

    No — we deliver crewed productions. Equipment without an engineer is how event AV goes wrong, so every system we send arrives with the people who tune it, run it, and back it up. If you only need dry-hire gear, we’re honestly not the right call — and we’ll tell you that on the phone.

  2. 02 How is this different from our venue’s in-house AV?

    In-house AV works for the venue; we work for you. Our engineers plan your show and then run it themselves, our quote isn’t inflated by venue commissions, and our loyalty is to your program rather than the building. Some venue house systems are fine for simple needs, and plenty of hotel boardrooms don’t need us.

  3. 03 How far in advance should we book?

    Four to eight weeks ahead is comfortable for most single-room events; multi-day conferences want more. Peak season fills earliest — spring and fall gala and conference dates in Baltimore go fast. If your date is close, call anyway: the advance gets compressed, not skipped.

  4. 04 What happens if equipment fails during our event?

    The backup is already in the room. Spare microphones, redundant playback, and protected signal paths are part of every spec — not an upgrade. Your audience might notice a two-second handoff; they won’t watch anyone run for the truck.

Standby

Tell us about the event.

A date, a room, and a rough headcount are plenty to start. You’ll hear back from a production lead, not a sales queue.
