MystiQue Sound utilizes the very best and latest technology in sound reinforcement equipment

I thought today we would cover the heart of our operation, Sound Boards, also known as Mixing Boards, Mixing Consoles for live event production, this is where the magic happens.

In the live sound reinforcement industry the position for mixing a live event is typically called, front of house. If you have ever hired a professional sound company you have probably noticed that the mixing engineer likes to be in the middle of the room back about midway to 2/3rds in the room. This allows the mixing engineer a great sample of how the room sounds to the majority of an audience. This is the same for concerts as it is for professional speaking engagements. Clear quality audio is a must for a well produced event.

The sound engineers primary tool is a mixing console. This is where all the microphone, direct boxes, sampling triggers etc come in to be blended into what your audiences will hear. We have mentioned the mixing engineer previously, however all the tools in the world are worthless if your engineer has a stone ear or is not familiar with the equipment he/she is using. Make sure when hiring a sound company for your next event, they are experienced with the sound equipment they are bringing with them.

At MystiQue Sound we utilize industry standard top of the line equipment and our engineers are trained to get the most out of their experience with this equipment. I will give a sample of some of our primary mixing boards without going into too much detail.

1. DigiDesign Profile FOH 48×24 - This is the mixing console a lot of top touring acts request. It provides unprecedented sound quality and reliability. This board was built from the ground up specifically to service the strict requirements of live sound reinforcement and broadcast applications.

2. DigiDesign Profile Mix Rack 48×32 -  Fully integrated digital live mixing console. Powerful performance, and complete ease of use.

3. SoundCraft SI 24 24×16 - This unit is perfect for smaller venues speeches churches schools etc. You can have a great level of quality audio without the higher costs associated some of the bigger consoles. Flexible and small  this is a great go to mixing console.


We have several more mixing consoles that can provide your next production event with high quality production values while at the same time maintaining costs and keeping your next live event on budget.

If you are interested in discussing your production options for a 1 night event, weekend or summer concert series give Jay at MystiQue Sound a call with over 20 years in the business Jay can help you make the right decision and make your next event a memorable one.

Do you remember the good old days when you and the neighborhood kids or maybe even your siblings would build a stage in the back yard?  You would try to piece anything together you could plywood, milk crates whatever it took. then the moment came the proverbial curtain would rise and wallah you were on stage. Well kind of a stage anyway. It rocked it rolled but it lifted you off the ground and separated you from the crowd your fans the ones that were gonna propel you to stardom. 

Well in reality the uneven ground and different size boxes or milk crates made for a very unsteady platform for performing much more than a sock puppet show. You probably tried to support it strengthen your stage and  make it suitable for a performance, but it was inevitable, the stage hod to be torn down to make way for mom's tomato plants.

Fast forward to the present. You have the best drummer, the best bassist and you have become a superstar guitarist written up in all the magazines and featured on all the mtv's and vh1's of the world. You play the best venues. And you know what you probably play on the best constructed stages as well. Event Staging is often overlooked as a performers friend. But anyone that has played in the backyard or on a professional staging setup knows the confidence you get when everything is top of the line.

Fortunately Mystique Sound has invested time and money researching the best staging and risers, the kind that performers request in their performance riders when only the best will do.

Professional Staging Equipment

Stages have several functions the obvious being where the bands or speakers perform. They also become the foundation for the speaker systems and lighting rigs, and if we go there the roof. All of these components build off of or around the staging platform.

If you are a city planner in need of a professional stage and lighting system for an up coming event, a college talent  buyer or corporate organizer you can contact MystiQue sound to discuss your staging needs. We can handle analyze function from a single speaker giving a seminar to full out live music performances. Mystique Sound can help you make the right decisions.

Mystique Sound Live Event Management throughout the upper Midwest

Talk about audio automation. Certainly you have seen programs or events with multiple microphones going at the same time ? American Idol or The Voice are good examples. ( I won’t editorialize on what I really think of shows like this) But I digress. In a case where multiple mic’s are open and all are trying to speak there is a solution. Designed by audio pioneer Dan Dougan the automatic mixing controller gives engineers full and complete control without having to be constantly riding individual faders.

Widely recognized as the inventor of the automatic microphone mixer, Dan Dugan has been involved in the professional audio industry for his entire career, which spans four decades. This groundbreaking technology is now available thru Mystique Sound for events throughout the upper Midwest.

Let’s not get pigeon holed here. We know that not everyone this summer season is going to have an American idol type program at their college, corporate or festival  event.  But there are many many uses for this technology at everyday shows.

Having the ability to silence mics when they are not being used is a huge advantage to bringing professional audio to even smaller events.  Many factors can play a roll in the quality of a sound production program. Just think of an outdoor stage with several open mic’s for vocal performers. 

Wind is the biggest culprit. If you can have the background mics shut down until they are absolutely needed bam this eliminates an age old problem that contributes to feedback and other uncontrollable issues.

The Automatic Mixing Controller may not be the reason you contact Mystique Sound but you will be glad it is in our arsenal of sound reinforcement tools.

In a nut shell the mixing controller (which is very compact by the way),  detects which mics are being used and makes fast, transparent cross-fades, freeing the mixer to focus on balance and sound quality instead of being chained to the faders thus eliminating cueing mistakes and late fade-ups while avoiding the choppy and distracting effects common to noise gates.

This may not mean a whole lot to a college student activities coordinator looking for a soundcompany for an upcoming college event, or a corporate controller booking a speech from the CEO. However when people in positions like that call us we are proud to say MystiQue Sound has the latest and greatest audio technology that will support your next event and help to make it a memorable one

How professional lighting can change your Concert, Corporate event or Festival into a memorable one.

How professional lighting can change your concert corporate event or festival into a memorable one.

One of the elements that we focus on is how an event looks to the spectator. In the past we have looked at sound and the impact clean high quality sound systems have on a live event. Now it's a good time to expand on that and take a look at lighting.

Lighting has come a long way in the past 20 years. We used to be tied to one light for one can or lighting fixture. Sure there were different styles of fixtures but essentially one light, one unit.

Certainly we could use gels or dimmers for effect and that was all well and good for the woodstock era but todays concerts and events need more flexibility in their lighting needs

Now we have more options. The new standard is LED or light emitting diode. This is a much more efficient type of light that can pack several lights into one fixture and they can be operated digitally allowing for maximum control of each individual led.

The environmental benefits of using LED lamps are unquestionable! Our durable, high performance 5-IN-1 LED Par Can is as tough as they come, while being incredibly efficient, both from an energy consumption and space perspective. This fixture offers superior color mixing abilities and brightness thanks to its 12* 15-watt, high power 5-in-1 RGBAW LEDs. Since each individual LED incorporates a red, green, blue, amber, and white chip behind a single lens, shadow artifacts and unevenness within the field are things of the past!

MystiQue Sound Solutions employs the latest in lighting system technology. Our LED fixtures along with intelligent controllers provide a complete rainbow of colors along with the ability to strobe as well as perform other functions. The power consumption of this LED technology is significantly less than that of traditional lighting systems, ensuring a superior lighting show while reducing the event’s carbon footprint.

If you are planning a Concert, Corporate Event or Festival or community event make it special. Contact, MystiQue Sound today. Owner Jay Morrealle can help to plan and execute a more memorable event.
