Lightsounds Makes Wedding Magic Happen – Testimonial by Adam Boyle

Monday, November 26th, 2012


I wanted to quickly outline the fantastic service and equipment provided by the team at Lightsounds. Organising my wedding was quite daunting and after all the havoc of caterer’s and furniture hire companies it was fantastic to deal with some real professionals. Brett and the team at lightsounds were so helpful in not only assisting in the ‘look’ of the night, but also ensured that they came in under budget (Yes under budget).

They made sure that the night had everything we wanted without going overboard. I cannot recommend the team more, they are truly amazing at what they do. I would also strongly suggest sitting down with them and letting them understand your event because the idea’s they come up with absolutely made my night.

Kind Regards
Adam Boyle

Tech Tips #3 Par 64 LED Can Set Up with DMX Controller

The simple parcan has been revolutionised by LED technology. LED runs cool, uses a fraction of the power, has more controllability with colour changing, dimming and strobing available, and the LEDs last about 50 times as long as an incandescent par lamp. Sam sets up the Light Emotion LED parcan, via the push-button control panel, then addresses to DMX putting the simple P64LEDC controller and Led can through its paces. Sam’s had over 20 years using audio and lighting equipment and is an expert in installation and production work. And he’s a bit of a character!

Tech Tips #2 Add an Active Sub to Active Speakers

This time Sam demonstrates how to extend a simple powered speaker into a club style system by adding an active sub bass. The Wharfedale Pro Titans have an in-built mixer so you can plug a smart phone, i-Pod or i-Phone directly in with just one TRS cable. Additionally you could plug in a mic, DJ rig or even an instrument like a guitar. Add the sub and hear the bass drop! Sam’s had over 20 years using audio and lighting equipment and is an expert in installation and production work. And he’s a bit of a character!

Shell Harbour Anglican College

Monday, April 11th, 2011


The Shell Harbour Anglican College approached Lightsounds Wollongong for a turn key audio and lighting solution for their newly built multi-purpose hall. The College is only four years old and classrooms are modern and technologically well equipped. Choirs, the school orchestra, school assemblies, plays and bands were all intended to utilise the space and the hall is even used by church groups in the weekend. So the brief specified a flexible audio and lighting stage set up for a wide variety of uses. A strong emphasis was placed on using LED technology, both serving as an energy efficient and more convenient lighting option for end users. Furthermore a value packed solution was required to get the most out of the school budget. The installation was conducted mid week with a stipulation not to disrupt regular classroom activity. OH and S guidelines were strictly followed and Lightsounds liaised with in house electricians for cabling placement and requirements.

“Lightsounds Wollongong were very responsive to our needs and willing to advise us on the best ways to provide audiovisual support for our new multipurpose hall”
David Cholson, Business Manager
Shellharbour Anglican College, NSW
