THANKS FOR WATCHING GUYS! THIS EPISODE ONE OF MANY COVERING WHAT IT TAKES TO GET INTO THE LIVE EVENT INDUSTRY. STAY TUNED FOR EPISODE TWO WHERE WE TAKE A LOOK AT AUDIO CONSOLES AND NETWORKING!
great info! helpful stuff! keep it coming.
dude you are an inspiration....i hope to get there one day...all the way from kenya
John Simmons i
This video was dope. RUclips recommended...who knew that algorithm worked?
You are very professional and quite charming. Good work my friend!
Nice, well spoken, professional, humble dude. Who wouldn't want you around. Youre really a great person.
Man, keep it going. You may be C level now, but with your knowledge and willingness to share information, big things will be in your future.
I rarely comment on videos, but needed to here. This guy is in my option a top fella. Respectable, honest and humble. Really refreshing. Wish you every success mate from here in the UK.
William Street I agree so much to this setup
He’d be the first guy I’d call for a PA if I was in his area!
Young man I love your attitude and ability to clearly convey the intricacies of outfitting and rigging your PA. Keep going, stay humble, and make the audience never want to leave your shows. Anyone looking to enter sound reinforcement should consider watching this video. Great content!
I stumbled across your video and while I am not interested in getting into your business I dabble in pro audio and found your video very informative. You are one of the most well spoken folks I have listened to and watched on RUclips. I am sure you are helping a lot of folks wanting to get in your line of work so keep up the good job you are doing informing people. You are a natural public speaker / teacher!
I have work with A LOT of sound companies and most of owners think they are the best!!!! This guy is the real deal very humble and very honest! best of luck in the future!
I know when I go spending $10k+ for my corporate events, I'm not looking for a dude with a small PA and lights. I'm looking for someone that can facilitate a production at scale that provides the atmosphere and logistical delivery we need to have a successful event. This is great, John. Thanks for putting this together.
Ever get drunk and try this thing in your living room?
Ralph Hardwick lmfao I was just thinking that 😂 every other night I’d end up having a concert haaha
For real that’s what I would do
Lmao bro that’s the funny comment I’ve ever seen
That's why I can't have a rig (that and poverty)
Dude I just shouted in laughter 😭😭
wow!..........seems like this guy was born to do this kind of work! true professional!
Martin Audio, Meyer Sound etc. - they all started with one guy, an idea, lots of hard work and plenty of ambition. You're a great guy with a great attitude. Keep going.
You are an inspiration to all us small-time companies out here. Congrats on your success. Well deserved
Wow Bro don’t listen to haters you have come a long way since your one of my favorite videos I quit my job... keep us posted and informed Thanks!
Electrovoice CP-series amps are serious. They have quality output, even for subs. I use a pair to run my Danley TH-118's bridge-mono.
this what we sound guys use as work horses on a decent general session or a glorified Break out room. versatile and very convenient. Great video man. very simple and straight to the point.
Great video, as a DJ a 15 years and as sound engineer contractor for other companies that do Festival sound it is important for some folks to know the difference. These videos would have been great to see when I first started...
Hey John, just wanted to say when rigging your PA try not to rig the slings in a manor that pulls the truss apart (hoist sling on top bar, PA sling on bottom). This weakens the truss. The PA sling should be choked on the top bar and the hoist sling choked on the bottom.
Tpigeon5 thanks for the tip!
Awesome video. Very informative. I've known many smaller companies that have made a good living off these bad boys. They may not throw that far, but definitely can get the job done for the smaller gigs. They were the gateway to bigger things for us. And for those who don't want to get too big, they're just fine to make a good living with.
Shit man, I'm sure you make a great living doing pro audio, but if you keep doing videos like this; you will be making another good living from RUclips.
Well done! Very informative. You helped me make a decision about entering "the business". Carry on!
This... Was.... AWESOME!!
Thank you for even thinking to take the time to make this video.
DBX, Crown, JBL, Martin lighting, all Harman. All the same family. :)
Not to mention Lexicon
First off I don’t know how this ended up in my feed but it was fun and you are a great explainer! Might want to also add your 64k figure is easily tripled when you add wedges and PA and mics and cable and cases and other stuff.
Mark Amber coming in a future episode!
What happens to me a lot is DJ's will come up to me to tell me About their $ 10,000.00 Sound system and There $ 2500.00 Light System . I let them Know, That almost Cover the cost of my Snakes(copper) Sub Snakes , Mic Cables... They Look at me Like I am LYING to them .. Then They Show Me Pictures of the PEAVEY System they are Running at 2 Ohms . So they can Get all of the Power out of it they can . But Keep Blowing Up speakers and amps ...
@@BigHeartedMan65 that's hilarious and I'm not even in this business.
I will never set up a PA, but I watched this whole video because your presentation was awesome and interesting. Great Job!
Buy one now !
I have no idea why I am watching this, but I like your energy
John I am not in this business, yet I really enjoy your Vlogs about Pro Audio thanks for your time & info..
I do much smaller scale events (High Schools with like 400 ppl dances) so what I run is a pair of PRX 735s and one of those STX828s subs and man does that sub sound good!
Just fell over your video by coincidence. I really appreciate your honesty and clear view on the business and your position in it. Keep on, man!
But would advise you the LabGruppen PLM 20000 as a 2in4 Dolby Lake Processing amp which replaces your whole amp city by one piece. Guess what: I sell 4 of them. ;)
But indeed, Check the used market. Light weighted and an investment for the next 20years.
Go ahead, best wishes from a brother from Germany.
love the vid! me and my friend are starting out doing tiny weddings and stuff with some alto tx10s and an A&H zed24… wish us luck
Howdy from Houston brother, I’ve been in the live sound touring and corporate business since 1987; congratulations , you have a , very clean ,organized and professional company, very well put together, better than many bigger, so called “professional” companies out there, I liked in particular the cable management behind the amp rack, that’s how I do it, keep up the good work and have a productive 2019
You are a nice guy. My best wishes for you and your buisness.
If you ever want to improve your ability, you should check out DAS Event 208 line arrays they are powered no need for amps you can run 8 boxes per 20 amp breaker. I used to have a few vrxs for side fill and the Event 208s blown them out of the water. If you ever have questions about anything or need advice let me know I work for one of the largest production companies in the US, and I'm always willing to share knowledge.
Yeah but you'll have to run a power and signal cable to each thats a major disadvantage to active speakers
I like this guy he sounds real country
I've always wanted subs like that in a home theater build. I'd probably do rear projection & put that huge box behind the projector screen & build 2 corner [L+R] speaker towers to cover the corners... now let's see, all I need now is the money to afford it 🤔😂😭😭😭
Hi John! Thank you! That's a really helpful and informative video. We deal in very high-end self-powered audio systems and at the end of your video I decided to look up what we could do for about $64,418.00. I was amazed! 8 x SSP218 + 6 x AT212 + 4 x custom carts plus covers for everything. 32,000W of subwoofer amps and 18,000W of tops amps, including all DSP and the price came to $64,580.00. BASSBOSS will be linking to your video to demonstrate the outstanding value we provide! Thank you again!!!
BASSBOSS Powered Loudspeaker Systems you need a new brand influencer?
I’ve heard Bassboss SLAMS sooooooo hard. A buddy of mine got a demo.
I've experienced BassBoss myself, at the DJ Expo in Atlantic City. What a vulgar display of power and clean sound. Words cannot express what my body felt. John S, great video!
@@jondirive I would agree. Got to test them at Mobile Beat in Las Vegas. It was INTENSE
What you have to ask yourself when Starting out . DO I JUST WANT to Cover the DJ Market OR also get into the Live Sound Market ? If you Chose to do Just the DJ Market the OFF BRANDS you See Out there built for the DJ Market are Fine . BUT if you want to move into the Live Sound Markey , you MUST have Rider Friendly Equipment .That NO NAME DJ stuff will not work in the Live Sound Market .. RCF SPEAKERS ALL THE WAY !!!!!!
Dude thats an insane rig... You can throw massive festivals with that setup.
I have worked with some big name acts and owned my own lighting rig and worked side by side with a couple of production companies. And to say all that to say this you did an awesome job with the video good info and the equipment looks clean and professional.
Thumbs up for the honesty of the intro alone. Keep pushing cuz 👍🏿
Great guy, wasnt expecting much from this video but I discovered a man that works out for his own! Keep the spirit sir.
I stumbled across this by accident. I was watching home stereo videos and this came up. I found it quite interesting and learned a few things as well. You seem very sincere and knowledgable about your business. I wish you all the luck.
At the end of the day every sound company has gear, its the crew that makes the difference. Look after every client really well and rewards shall come your way!
Exact video I need as I look into making a 5 figure investment into a concert level pa. Lol
Look for AudioFocus
at 5 figures, look into L'Acoustics ARCS system.
Look at voice acoustics & D&B AUDIOTECHNIK
Bassboss has some great options
Yes then
Thanks for the inside tour of a sound business, excellent communicator! Cheers (I'm leaving this in) :)
A bunch of years ago, I was touring with a Rock Circus show here in UK and one venue had this system installed (with a few less cabinets) but we left our rig in the truck and did the show though the installed rig, it was AWESOME!!
That 6th speaker in your array has a purpose. Look into the research and developments of Don B. Keele. By attenuating the speakers along the curve you can almost ignore the inverse square law and fill a space with the same volume of sound at all corners.
It costs a lot! I would go insane if somebody put his drink on one of the woofers.
Bro!!! You are awesome!!!! Love your videos man. Keep'em coming. And keep up the great work. Your vids are very informative. Thanks again.
Thanks for making a great video, sir. I have a slightly older JBL SRX rig with Crown MacroTech amps, plus some QSC backup/monitor amps, etc. Your claims and recommendations are right in line with my experiences! Best wishes!
This is hands down the best video on RUclips for this. I love what you’re doing man!
You're doing way better than a lot of people. Keep at it bro!
I’m a mobile DJ, I like ur vids and spirit man very helpful. Your mic video helped me out a bit.
Thank you for the video. In Germany we have Thomann with their t amps. I think these are amps are pretty good. Not highly professional but very close. For instance a 4 X 930w at 4ohms costs 400€. I think that's out of competition
Within the first like 30 seconds you absolutely hit it...you can definitely get good results with the minimum if you know what you want and at least kind of know what you're doing. It takes numerous years to get there...and when you think you have a handle on the concepts, everything you took as fact gets flipped turned upside down within an instant! You gotta constantly look for that 1up.
Like your humbleness, great video. One observation, never hang anything heavy from the bottom chords of the truss. That puts the weld joints of the webs under stress. The truss is designed to be supported or hung from the bottom chords, and anything heavy hanging is supported by the top chords.
Right on man.. It was a pleasure watching you explaining from the top down about your rig. I’m sure you have upgraded since making this video. Looking forward to seeing where your at, almost a year later 👍🏼 Peace and Respect from Ireland 🇮🇪 🤜🏼🔊🤛🏼
Hey man, I really respect your honesty and this is a brilliant video. You seem like a genuinely nice guy! All the best to you and your business = D
Fantastic video!!! I really appreciate your sharing all knowledge in your video. Great job! I have subscribed.
Your setup looks awesome! but the first time I heard a Meyer sound system. I was absolutely blown away
I love this guy, his knowledge is top notch. When I first heard his voice I had to take a double take, we all southern bro!!! Keep up the good work
Nice video, JBL is the standard when it comes to pro sound. Can't wait to see your system with crown amps in the future.
Tech rider friendly thats where its at, and small festivals and corporate events is where its at
The Cost of a Rider Friendly System is around $ 225,000.00 including the Truck .... The Prices are Based off of MAP Pricing for All of the Equipment and The Truck is Based off of what a 2018 Isuzu NQR with a 20 foot Box and Lift gate would be . This system is Based off of what I have and Use . Mine is a Little bit more because I carry 80 Mics with my System . All Mic Stands are K&M . They Last . All Copper Cables were Priced through , www.Audiopile.net as were all the Cases ... I do Around 250 to 300 events a year .. They Pay between $ 1250.00 to $ 3500.00 a Night .

Great video John, I have a seven pc. band in Va. Beach Va. area. I'm the sax player and own All of the sound equipment, you're right about easy to get into but hard to get out.What started out as a basic P.A. setup has grown to about half of your price. I have an passive JBL Speaker setup with crown amps and a powered JBL SRX 800 Series speaker setup with a Soundcraft digital mixer. And now thinking about 4 of the JBL VRX 932 lap's. Covid 19 has slowed us All down a bit. But man enjoyed All of your videos and will be contacting you soon, I also have contacted D.J. Rick Webb on speaker advice. Proud of you man keep on doing your thing.
this is great. I like how it's a modular rig and you could just take a few array boxes and a couple subs to do a smaller show.
THIS WAS A DOPE VIDEO. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO EXPLAIN. IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET SOME NEGATIVE COMMENTS ON YOUR RIG. FORGET THEM. YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOME HATERS. THIS IS VERY IMPRESSIVE. IF YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF LOW END YOUR NOT GIVING YOURSELF ENOUGH CREDIT. AWESOME JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you've done THREE6, in my eyes you've made it 😂. This is the type of stuff I fantasize about. Just need a small loan from my wealthy dad
Lee S let me borrow some money from him too!!!
can you see me hahhahahahaha wassup donald
can you see me
Hmmm- that sounds somehow familiar.
John, nice video! Good info for folks. People should appreciate the time and effort that the cabling in the back of the rack took to make it neat and easy to navigate.
Great, honest presentation . By a down to earth trustworthy looking dude. 😊. Keep up the good work! I'm sure it will reward you in time.
Lightning Prod why are people saying this guy is humble and honest? I keep seeing the word “humble” and “honest.” Does he look like he could be potentially prideful? Or dishonest? Doesn’t to me... I’m confused. I see white guys do awesome reviews but no one says they are honest and humble. They just simply like the review. Just a question. ✌🏾
I really like the drive rack. I've been using the drive rack 260 for over 5 years now. It really gives you options for tuning in the system at different venues
Dj U12GO hear and I don't turn on notifications ever but I will for this. ima go through all your content keep up the good work ep1 was exactly what I was looking for.
Going into the supply of good sound system costs heck of a lot, then there is the cost of maintenance.
My favourite system is still from L’Acoustics. The K2s, Karas etc. So so sweet.
All the best!
Well done, man... Nice work on your vid. Very informative... love your genuine humility and straight forward approach. A true, knowledgeable gentleman. All the best!
great video ,love your humility and honesty
Dope set up and I hope your business grows! Wish you all the best, much success and God bless!
Me - "Hey Dad can I borrow 60k to buy equipment"
Dad - "Can you get the hell out my house instead with your equipment" 😆😂
Wow man first off congrats for your success! Wish you much more to come.
But holly cow man! That's a beautiful rig! Can I "borrow" it for personal test 😆
How about a small loan of a million dollars?
@@TimpBizkit
"Small Loan" that's a good one 😂
@@TimpBizkit I gave you 200 million on the day you were born didn't I?
Highly appreciated John, you never stop to inspire me, from South Africa (Johannesburg)
Watching this video again three years on, and this still holds true...it costs A LOT. I'm a much smaller outfit and so far my business has cost me £12K over the last year in gear (which I guess is about $16K); and I'm nowhere close to this kind of setup. I'd cater for an indoor event of up to around 300-350 with what I have right now, and would think twice of taking on outdoor events at all.
I've got everything except a PA; Mixer, mics, stands, cables, projector, cameras etc etc.
I'm thinking of getting a PA package thats a pair of active 12 inch tops and a 15 inch active sub, for around 1k. That should do me for most events (as I'll mainly do corporate gigs and weddings)
2 years later. watching this in 2021 and helped me alot!! thanks boss
C level equip, A level attitude... you are an awesome dude.
Nice set up... Thanks for sharing... Good luck and keep it up!
Thanks for the video. I am planning on building my own PA rig myself. Your information is great! Keep those videos coming.
I would recommend going with crown power that way your able to control you speaker more efficiently and use the software to control your boxes.(performance manager) Crown I tech HD3500 2 of them and eliminate you crossover with the same power. Awesome job with explaining stuff. Good luck to you.
Great to see black man doing his thing. Congratulation.
what about green man?
Someone's always got to interject race..SMH
Desmond Walker wow race? And u wonder why people are so segregated... you all do it too yourselves. Can we be humans?
It is GREAT to See a Young Man in the USA getting off of his azz(NO MATTER WHAT COLOR HE IS) and Working not thinking the World OWES HUM ... GREAT TO SEE ... Like you said it is a Start.. We all have to start somewhere . I have been doing this in Northern California for 53 years ... As a Great Man Once Said . I Have been to the Mountain Top and to the Low Valley Below ...BUT with The Blessing I have been Given I am Still alive and Doing OK ...
I just see a nice human.
Absolutely love how humble you are!
Simon Sørensen why are people saying this guy is humble and honest? I keep seeing the word “humble” and “honest.” Does he look like he could be potentially prideful? Or dishonest? Doesn’t to me... I’m confused. I see white guys do awesome reviews but no one says they are honest and humble. They just simply like the review. Just a question. ✌🏾
I absolutely love the way that you explain things and the pace of this video.
Awesome information. I agree with most in hoping the best in your business and it's refreshing to see someone being honest and not full of themselves or looking to be popular. Genuine! Have you considered also looking into maybe doing home theater set ups as well or if have experience in it do videos on that as.well
Keep it up my man. Enjoyed the video. Love me some pro audio.
Loved your video, lots of straight talk regarding starting out.
It's sometimes good to mix other brands together. My Ex Girlfriends Father used to work for Jensen Audio, then he went to work for Blaupunkt Audio, but he used to tell me that you can blow a speaker by not having enough power than you would having too much power, because distortion is what blows your speakers, and he's mixed brands and gotten a great sound. He also sold Advent speakers, which I'm sure you've heard of Advent, he had Advent speakers throughout his entire house, both his daughters had Advent Speakers in their bedrooms, he had them in his family room and living room, which the one's in his living room didn't start clipping until 1000 watts each speaker, and he had a Phase Linear amp powering that system, and that thing would vibrate pictures off the walls! Lol. But people who tell you that you are wrong or an experience because you have different pieces of equipment, then clearly they are the ones who are inexperienced and don't know what they're doing oh, because you can get really good sounds by mixing different equipment, it's been proven! I had different brand audio equipment in my cars, and I had cars get thumped, and everything was mixed just right, I had crisp highs, good mids and good lows, I kept everything balanced, because I don't like system that has nothing but Bass, that shit hurts my ears and sounds like garbage! 😎👍
Good video, now go get that concussion checked out! 😂 your the man for leaving that in. I got a kick out of it.
This is legit content. Quite informative. Stay blessed.
First time viewer and PRESSED THAT SUBSCRIBE button family!
I Appreciate all of your advice and in-depth explanations of your inventory and what it took to get you where you are now and do's and don'ts's and stuff. God Bless
👏👏 do t worry brother, just now you'll be one of the largest in your state
Thanks for that, I'm designing a small rig 3600 watts (1800 stereo) to do bush duff's and local markets in Australia (Big Crowd 200) using no name brands I can do it for $0.19 USD/Watt but once you jump to 16,500 watts in the big event game your in you have to pay $3.79 USD per watt that's mind blowing! I subscribed and look forward to future videos.
You are so prepared please don't try to please everyone keep developing your craft.
Well done. Wish you the best future. Very informative
Nice video, thanks for the info John. Just setting some stuff up for personal use and having a primer like this on pro equipment is nice. Subscribed. +Nice Accent. I could listen to your voice all day.
VRXs are great if you’re wanting more JBL in the future they make for some great front fill on a 88 or VTX-25 2 rig
Well made, intelligently delivered and informative video. Although not personally into live sound, I enjoyed watching this. I am currently experimenting with some QSC speakers for "home theater" application- with good results- in place of the normal home speaker selection. Keep up the good work.
