Our Expertise

How do you protect the building from damage?

At our regular venues, we ensure that there is always at least one experienced technician familiar with the site to maintain control and facilitate knowledge transfer. For new venues, we proactively communicate and collaborate with the venue staff to ensure we meet their specific requirements, including any instructions provided, while providing detailed briefings to our technicians.

Will it be acceptable if the band brings their own PA equipment?

To ensure optimal sound quality and coverage tailored to the venue and event capacity, we design PA systems specifically for each occasion. Given that the acoustics of different spaces can present various challenges, we always provide our own PA systems to deliver the best possible sound experience.

Do I need lighting for my event?

We highly recommend having a minimum stage wash to ensure the audience can clearly see what's happening on stage. When it comes to effect lighting, the specific requirements will determine the approach. Simple uplighting can effectively accentuate the buildings, while moving light packages are generally recommended for entertainment purposes.

Can we arrange a site visit?

Yes. If you're considering Adlib for your project, we'll want to spend some time with you to look at your space and get to meet your team.

How much will this entire project cost?

We understand that budgeting for a project is an important consideration. The cost of your entire project depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the project, required equipment, customisations, and additional services. To obtain an accurate estimate, we recommend contacting our team directly. By discussing your specific requirements and project details, we can provide a detailed quote that aligns with your budget and ensures a successful outcome. Contact us today to start the conversation and receive a personalised cost estimate for your project.

Can you supplement our existing equipment?

Absolutely! We can supplement your existing equipment to support your one-off events, including music nights, beers and carols, or conferences. Our audio and lighting equipment packages are designed to seamlessly integrate with your current setup, enhancing the overall experience for your audience. Whether you need additional microphones, speakers, lighting fixtures, or any other audio-visual equipment, we can provide tailored solutions to meet your specific requirements and ensure a successful event.

Are in-ear monitors a good idea for my worship band?

In-ear monitors are a great idea for worship bands performing in houses of worship of different sizes. They provide individualised sound monitoring, ensuring each band member can hear themselves clearly without being affected by stage noise or room acoustics. In-ear monitors also help minimise sound spillage, allowing for better control over sound levels and maintaining a reverent atmosphere. They are particularly beneficial for consistent performance quality across venues of varying sizes. Adlib specialises in audio solutions for houses of worship and can assist you in selecting the right in-ear monitoring system for your band's needs.

Can you record my event?

Yes, we offer event recording services as part of our audio-visual solutions. Whether it's capturing a live performance, a sermon, or any other event in a place of worship, our experienced team can provide professional recording equipment and expertise to capture high-quality audio and video footage. Following the recording, we can deliver the footage to your in-house video team or external post-production house, ensuring it is ready for seamless editing and post-production.

Can you help me stream my event?

We provide the equipment and expertise to ensure a smooth, high-quality streaming experience, allowing your audience to participate remotely. From setting up the streaming platform to managing the audio and video feeds, we'll ensure that your event is effectively streamed and reaches a broader audience.
