Live Event Sound, Lighting and Technical Production

The quality your event deserves at a price you can afford.

M. Daniel Engineering provides freelance engineering, equipment hire and full technical production for churches, theatre and live events

Live event audience and stage lighting

Three ways to work together

Freelance engineering

If you just need an engineer Mark has more than twenty years of experience as a sound and lighting engineer working across all types and scales of shows.

Dry hire

Hire professional sound and lighting equipment for churches, camps and temporary event spaces. Anything from a few extra microphones up to a full audio and lighting package.

Full production

Technical planning, supply, setup and operation as one joined-up service. Let us take responsibility for all the technical needs of your event from concept and design through delivery and setup to professional execution.

Sound, Lighting and Show Operation Done Properly

Bad tech detracts from your message, good tech enables communication, great tech transforms the experience.

Presentation power and clarity

Audio systems planned around intelligibility, coverage and quality. Putting the right equipment in the right place makes a world of difference. We use top quality speakers and microphones from premium brands like d&b, DPA, Shure and Sennheiser to carry pristine audio from source to listener.

Music and performance mixing

Audio mixing for bands and music that goes beyond basic reinforcement. Skilled use of EQ, dynamics and effects take your sound to the next level.

Lighting that serves the event

Lighting has huge power to dictate the atmosphere of the event. From clean visibility to dramatic scene setting we understand what your event needs and what it doesn't.

Reliable show operation

Cueing, playback and operation delivered with a calm precision. An event that great in many ways can be undermined by getting the basics wrong. Having the right mic on, the right lights fading or the right track coming in takes planning, rehearsal, and concentration. We aim to deliver every cue but even when we can't we can navigate a smooth recovery.

Case studies

How the work comes together
