01 · Live podcast audio

Clear sound for a live conversation in a busy event setting.

NYC Corporate Sound managed the live audio and onsite mixing for the podcast and watch party. The production kept the spoken program clear while supporting the energy of the room. Sound quality drew enthusiastic feedback from the event team, venue staff, and attendees throughout the evening.

02 · Balcony lighting

A broadcast-style look for the balcony presentation.

The balcony lighting gave the speakers a defined, polished presence for the audience below. Fixture placement, brightness, and color balance were coordinated around the presentation area. The finished look attracted repeated compliments from guests and photographers, with a photographer specifically praising the color balance.

03 · Step-and-repeat lighting

Flattering light for the downstairs photo area.

Dedicated lighting supported the downstairs step-and-repeat, creating an inviting setting for event photography and guest pictures. Attendees also gathered in the illuminated areas to take their own photos. NYC Corporate Sound’s contribution was the lighting setup and operation, supporting the photographers working at the event.

04 · Onsite production

Sound, lighting, and crew coordination through show close.

The team handled equipment load-in, audio and lighting setup, wiring, onsite operation, and strike. Direct coordination with Wave Sports & Entertainment and the venue kept technical support close to the live program. Alongside Carmelo Anthony, attendees included rapper Fabolous, Naughty by Nature, and other former New York Knicks players.

The planner’s experience

A production team that supported both the show and the client.

Founder-led production oversight and Field Production Coordinator support gave the client a clear point of contact while the technical team managed live audio and lighting. That coordination connected the balcony program, downstairs photo area, upstairs VIP area, and venue requirements throughout the event.
