Alameda Sound is a wet-hire PA service: the sound system shows up with its own engineer. We deliver, set up, mix your event, and haul everything out at the end of the night. You're going to hear the vocals and feel the bass.
Reach out with the date, the venue, and what you have planned. We'll put together a sound package that suits your event, with the right gear for the room and an engineer to run it.
From there it's on us. We show up early, sound-check before your guests arrive, and run the board until the night's over.
Galas, fundraisers, panels, receptions and meetings. Podium and panel mics, wireless for auctions and audience Q&A, and playback for videos and walk-in music.
Ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. A lavalier for the officiant, mics for toasts, and sound for the dance floor. We can DJ the reception, or provide the system for your DJ or band. If the ceremony and reception are in different spaces, we bring a separate setup for each.
Meyer and RCF mains, BassBoss subwoofers, stage monitors, a digital console, mics and DIs, and an engineer mixing the show. This covers single bands, multi-act bills and outdoor stages.
Meyer and RCF tops with BassBoss subwoofers, set up for your DJ.
Dance-floor lighting and uplighting packages to change the look of the room. These can be added to any event or booked on their own.
We run the night: the system, the song rotation and the lyrics screen.
An experienced engineer to mix on your venue's own system.
Shure wireless mics (handheld or lavalier), Shure in-ear monitors, backline (guitar amps, bass rig, drum kit, Korg SV-1 stage piano), and battery power for outdoor ceremonies.
Every event is quoted individually. Call or email with the date, the venue, a rough guest count, start and end times, and what's happening, and we'll get back to you with a firm number, usually the same day.
Working, road-ready equipment, chosen and maintained by the person who has to mix on it.
Compact, precise speakers for weddings and speech-heavy events.
Powerful, articulate full-range tops that stay clean at volume.
An 18″ and a 15″. Comically overqualified. Deep, effortless low end you feel across the room.
16 inputs, scene recall, and a mix engineered for your room.
So the band, or the speaker at the podium, can hear themselves clearly.
Stereo in-ear mixes for bands that want a quieter stage.
Digital handheld and lavalier mics for toasts, panels and roving hosts.
Industry-standard vocal and instrument mics, stands, and DIs.
Guitar amps, a bass rig, a drum kit and a Korg SV-1 stage piano.
Chauvet GigBAR with moving heads, LED pars and a hazer.
“You're going to hear the vocals and feel the bass.”
Alameda Sound is run by a working musician who has spent years on Bay Area stages and behind mixing consoles. He knows what good sound takes because he's heard it from both sides of the microphone.
Sound is the one thing every guest experiences, and nobody should have to think about it. When the speeches come through clearly and the band sounds right, the whole event feels right. That's the job.
Based in Alameda, serving the East Bay and the greater SF Bay Area.
Tell us the date, the venue, and what's happening. We'll get back to you with a firm quote, usually the same day.
