Testimonials
"Professionalism and a very high level of knowledge are critical to everything we’re involved in and Tony has them in abundance.  Moreover, he arrives with a “can do” attitude and positive spirit that keeps everyone around him fresh and excited about the work at hand.  And finally, he has a fantastic ear for sound and ability to get the best out of the environment it’s being performed in.  Give yourself an opportunity to hear him work….you’ll be impressed!"​

"One of my favorite venues to see a live concert is the Franklin Theatre in Franklin, TN. What an audio treat it was to hear Exile perform there last year! Not only is the venue fabulous...and not only is Exile singing as great as ever...but the sound was ideal throughout the evening! Tony Cottrill is the sound master! The mix was perfect, and the volume was ideal! I know when Tony is behind the board, I will be hearing a wonderfully mixed show by a talented, experienced sound engineer --Tony Cottrill!"
Lisa Harless - Senior Vice President, Regions Bank Music Row
Entertainment and Sports Division​



"We were privileged to have Tony Cottrill at our church and had a great experience! He not only helped give our sound guys a better foundation and understanding of their role in the service, he also helped diagnose and solve some system issues we had been dealing with for some time. In the weeks since our time with Tony, our sound has continued to improve and our volunteers have been energized and encouraged to continue learning on their own."
Paul Ingram, Worship Pastor
Northbrook Baptist Church
Cullman, AL

Our strength lies not only in our passion for audio but possibly more so in our positive spirit, attitude, enthusiasm for team building and solid communication skills with our clients.

The Company can custom build a system according to the complexity or simplicity of the event and based on the clients needs although our main structure is built around three Audio/Lighting Designs: a system for smaller musical events and speaking engagements, a mid-size theatre or festival system and a system for larger indoor or outdoor events for up to 5,000 attendees.
