Rates for sound engineers in Plymouth run from £75 to £800+, with most bookings around £250. 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. Contact the supplier you like for an accurate quote.

Reviews of Sound Technicians / Engineers available in Plymouth

5/5 from 87 reviews
Photo of GK Electronics GK Electronics "I engaged GK Electronics to run an international psychotherapy conference for me in June 2023 at Polhawn Fort in Cornwall, and from the very first conversation with Gary, I was sure they were the right team/company for the job. Gary was very clear in talking me through all the various options, and listening to my requirements and needs. I explained that as a therapist, academic and event planner I had no knowledge of anything technical and from that point on Gary made sure he spoke about the technical aspects in a way I would understand and be able to follow. The 3 day event was very complex, not least because it involved a range of speakers, using different platforms and formats for their presentations, a number of workshops we needed specialist audio visuals for, and a marquee where the keynote lectures would take place. We also needed to film the event to make CPD packages to sell after the conference and so the weather was a big factor in deciding where the main programme would take place. If we filmed inside the fort it would be a very different venue to prepare for with low vaulted ceilings and pillars to work around. The marquee was easier but if it rained it would have made filming difficult, so the decision on which space to stage the event in needed to be last minute. Gary and his team member Nick were so accommodating for this, and planned for every eventuality. The venue was on a peninsular cliff edge and so required them to transport all the equipment to the bottom lawn to be set up either in the main fort or the marquee. Fortunately the weather was favourable and so we did the entire conference in the marquee, but this required them to set up screens, a stage, lighting and sound equipment. They had a complete deck of controls and used this skilfully across the weekend to make sure the sound was always at an optimum level and working well. They were so patient and considerate of the needs of the conference to meet a range of delegates with disabilities, such as hearing impairments, and sight issues. Both Gary and Nick paid great attention to detail, and helped each of the speakers feel safe and secure in delivering their presentations, because of their expertise and advance planning. This in turn made me feel confident and secure in the knowledge that I had amazing technical support available 24/7 throughout the event. I could not have pulled off this event without the skills and support of GK Electronics and am so grateful to both Gary and Nick for their ability to be flexible, technically amazing and relaxed and easy going too. I would recommend them 100% and will certainly be using them again in future. Wonderful people and a great package of expertise and friendly support."

Frequently asked questions

The average price for sound technicians / engineers on Gig Heaven is £250, with rates from £75 to £800+. Cost varies based on the technician's experience, the length of the event and the complexity of the audio setup. A professional sound engineer manages mixing, levels and equipment throughout the event, ensuring balanced audio for live music and speeches.

The sound technicians / engineers manage the sound and audio at events, including setting up PA systems, mixing live music, managing microphone levels, running soundchecks and ensuring clear, balanced audio throughout the event. A professional engineer can make a significant difference to the quality of live music and speech at any venue.

Hiring sound technicians / engineers is essential for live music events, conferences with multiple speakers, festivals, theatre productions, award ceremonies and any event where professional sound management is needed. Having a dedicated engineer allows performers and speakers to focus on their delivery while the sound is managed by a specialist.

Some sound technicians / engineers bring their own sound equipment, while others operate equipment already provided at the venue. Many offer both options. It is advisable to discuss what equipment is available at the venue and what the engineer needs to supply.

For large events or busy dates, several weeks to months of notice is recommended. Smaller events may be possible at shorter notice. Gig Heaven recommends making enquiries as early as possible, especially if the engineer also needs to supply equipment.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.
