A guide to booking

Hire Sound Engineers in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

A sound engineer takes responsibility for everything the audience actually hears: gain structure at the desk, monitor mixes the performers can work with, and a PA sized to the room rather than to the booking. Engineers in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada know which venues have house systems worth using and which need a rig bringing in, which is usually the difference between a smooth get-in and a rushed one.

What a Sound Engineer Covers on the Day

A standard booking runs from get-in and rigging through line checks and soundcheck to the show itself, then the de-rig. Expect the engineer to ask for a stage plan and input list in advance, and to handle microphone placement, EQ and levels live rather than setting and leaving. For speech-led events the work is different again: radio mic management, feedback control and a clean feed for any recording or stream.

What Sound Engineers Cost

Rates for sound engineers in Vancouver run from $110 to $1,150+, with most bookings around $480. Channel count is the main driver, followed by the length of the day and whether the engineer supplies the PA or works on a system already in the room. A single speaker on a small PA sits at the bottom of that range; a full band with monitor mixes and a recording feed sits near the top.

Reviews of Sound Technicians / Engineers available in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

5/5 from 59 reviews
Photo of Lost Productions PDX Lost Productions PDX "Great service. David from Lost Productions was very responsive over the phone and knew enough to help me figure out exactly what we needed. The additional cost for setup assistance was well worth it as David took care of all the hardware and individually worked with my performers to make sure that they sounded perfect from anywhere in the venue. I will be using them again" David Culley Photo of Sound Pro Solutions Sound Pro Solutions "Gordon has done a fantastic job at numerous shows and events I've played at. He is a consummate professional, doesn't get distracted by people, phones or any other 'sideshows', and dedicates all of his effort and energy to making the event sound as good and clear as it possibly can! He also provides all the equipment that allows him to do exactly that. I'd recommend him without hesitation." Trevor Laishley Photo of Phantom Production Design Ltd Phantom Production Design Ltd "Phantom was super professional from the beginning. Engaged in working with me and my partner to make our wedding spectacular. Their staff are very professional and very helpful. 10/10 on all accounts. I would definitely recommend Phantom for anything production related!" Steve Wolf - Wedding Photo of Sound Enhancement Productions Sound Enhancement Productions "Leuke, aardige vent. Erg fijn om mee samen te werken. Altijd optijd en houd zich aan de afspraken!" Jorden W. - Scran Photo of SwissMixxAudio - Festival and Corporate AV SwissMixxAudio - Festival and Corporate AV "We had a challenging event with a large area we needed to spread sound. Mark did an incredible job making sure everyone at our event, no matter where they were sitting, could hear the coordinated playlist. Our show was broadcasted over the radio (in addition to the onsite sound) and he did a fantastic job coordinating with the radio station to ensure an seamless sound. Highly recommend!" Lynze Twede - Salt Lake City Photo of GSP Events Group GSP Events Group "Working with this company has been a seamless operation from start to finish. The execution and attention to detail always impress every time. The staff is friendly and helpful and the Yes, we can attitude speaks loudly to many other similar companies. The technology and equipment used is always high quality and set up neatly and to standards on health and safety for the events industry. I will recommend them any time to any new or potentially new clients. " Gustav Lindsay-Mark Skippers - GSP EVENTS GROUP PTY LTD
