When it comes to organizing a memorable community event, festival, or concert, having the right sound, lighting, and staging is crucial to creating an unforgettable experience. Edwards Sound provides top-quality sound systems, lighting, audiovisual equipment, and staging tailored specifically to the unique needs of public events, ensuring that your audience enjoys every moment.

Sound Solutions That Move the Crowd

Our sound systems are designed to deliver powerful, clear audio across large spaces, ensuring every attendee, from the front row to the back, experiences incredible sound. Whether you're hosting a community concert, festival performance, or outdoor speech, we have systems ranging from small-scale PA setups to 20kW powerhouses that can handle major concerts with ease.

From wireless microphones for speeches and announcements to DJ setups and live band sound systems, we’ve got the right solution for any performance type. Plus, our systems are flexible, allowing us to expand coverage with wireless speakers for large or hard-to-reach areas, ensuring seamless audio across any venue.

Lighting That Creates an Atmosphere

Great lighting transforms your event from ordinary to extraordinary. Edwards offers a variety of lighting options, from ambient festival lighting to dynamic stage lights and special effects like lasers, fog machines, and LED displays. Whether you're lighting up a concert stage, creating a vibrant community fair atmosphere, or spotlighting a festival performance, our expert technicians will design and install the perfect lighting setup for your event.

Want to highlight key moments, such as speeches or award presentations? Or perhaps create a magical nighttime atmosphere at your community gala? We can program light shows synced to music or customize lighting to match your event’s theme, adding visual energy and excitement.

Audiovisual Services for Maximum Engagement

Today’s events often require more than just sound and lighting—they need multimedia elements to engage modern audiences. At Edwards, we provide large-scale projectors, LED screens, and video walls for live event broadcasting, presentations, or promotional content. We also offer live streaming services, allowing you to reach virtual attendees, whether for a hybrid event or purely online experience.

Our professional team can assist with everything from setting up event presentations, video graphics, and live feeds to recording performances for later use. Our goal is to ensure your audience is engaged and connected, whether they’re attending in person or online.

Staging for Any Size or Occasion

Whether you’re hosting a community concert, a street festival, or an outdoor performance, staging is the foundation of any great event. We offer modular, durable, and customizable staging solutions that can be tailored to your event’s size and layout. Our stages are perfect for musical performances, speeches, dance performances, and more, providing a safe and professional platform for your event’s main attractions.

Need to expand your staging area or add a special touch? We can add risers, podiums, or backdrops to create the ideal setup for your performers, presenters, or VIP guests.
