JZ Sound is capable of running numerous sound arrangements. We specialize in sound reinforcements for live bands, but we are also experienced in providing public announcement systems and sound systems for Disc Jockeys. When providing sound for a band, we run four independent monitor mixes , so each member of the band hears what he/she needs to hear. Usually one left, one center, one right, and one rear for the drummer. We run approximately 8000 watts total power for the system when providing sound for a live band, this provides us with more than enough power for both indoor and outdoor events. For main speakers (what the crowd hears) we generally run two subwoofer speakers for bass and two mid/high range speakers on either side. We have a very flexible set up and we can design a system that will meet or exceed all requirements for any room or situation.

In a typical live band situation JZ Sound runs 3200 watts to its bi-amped three way mains.   Four independent monitor mixes are utilized. Having been in a band I understand how important it is for musicians to hear each other and I put a great deal of effort into preparing the onstage sound.


Testimonial:
