Frequently asked questions
Clear answers before the production plan begins.
Every event is different, but these answers explain how NYC Corporate Sound approaches common planning, pricing, service, and technical questions.
How is corporate AV pricing determined?
Pricing depends on the venue, audience, rooms, equipment, crew, access window, program duration, travel, venue requirements, and technical complexity. Every event receives a custom written scope. Managed event projects generally begin at $1,500.
Is an onsite technician included?
Yes. NYC Corporate Sound provides managed production, not unattended equipment drop-off. The scope includes the appropriate setup, testing, operation, troubleshooting, and breakdown labor for the project.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to four weeks is a practical minimum for many events, while larger, multi-room, outdoor, livestreamed, or multi-day productions benefit from more planning time. Last-minute requests are considered when schedule and resources permit.
Can you handle large or multi-room events?
Yes. Systems, technicians, specialists, and equipment resources scale around the venue, audience, rooms, schedule, and technical requirements. The website intentionally does not state an artificial guest-count ceiling.
Can you support outdoor events?
Yes. Outdoor work can include open-air sound coverage, delay zones, video, lighting, power and generator coordination, protected production positions, weather contingencies, testing, operation, and backup planning.
Do you provide livestreaming and hybrid events?
Yes. Multi-camera coverage, video switching, program audio, remote contributors, presentations, recording, platform coordination, and onsite operation can be combined into one production.
Can the livestream be translated in real time?
Yes. Depending on the platform, supported languages, audience, and requirements, real-time multilingual access can use translated captions, interpreted audio, or both. Automated translation accuracy and human interpretation options are discussed during planning.
Do you rent equipment without a technician?
NYC Corporate Sound is positioned around managed AV service rather than dry rental. Equipment is part of a defined production scope with the appropriate technical support.
What areas do you serve?
All five NYC boroughs, Westchester County, Fairfield County in Connecticut, and selected projects in Northern New Jersey, Long Island, and the surrounding Tri-State Area.
What should I include in a quote request?
Send the date, venue, city, attendance, event type, number of rooms, access and program times, services needed, internet availability, and any floor plans, run of show, venue specifications, or existing AV quotes.
