Brand Activation
Audio Austin.
You're an out-of-town agency with a borrowed space on Rainey or East 6th, a four-hour load-in window and a client flying in. You need a local crew that shows up on time, fits the rig to the room and makes the brand sound expensive.
You bring
the brand.
Activations run on tight clocks: short load-in windows, spaces never built for sound, neighbors, permits, and talent who expect a real system. Agencies flying in need one local contact who already knows how Austin works.
We handle the audio start to finish: the site visit, the spec, load-in, the show and strike. So your team can stay on the client.
One Local Contact
One person on the phone from first scope call to strike. No handoffs, no voicemail tree.
Tight Load-In Windows
We plan around the window you actually have, and we pack the truck in the order it comes off.
Sound That Fits The Space
Raw retail, rooftops, parking lots, bars. Each one gets a spec for how it behaves, not a stock package.
Neighbors + Permits
Low end aimed at your guests, not the building next door, so your permit lasts past 10pm.
Talent Ready
DJ booths, performer monitors and a clean input for whoever is on the bill.
Strike On Schedule
Out on time so the next activation can load in. That is how you get the space again next year.
Pop-up to
showcase.
During SXSW week, dates go first. If you have the space, lock the audio.
Pop-Up
Retail pop-ups, lounges and press moments. Background music that turns into a party system on cue.
Activation
Branded spaces with a DJ or live performer, real low end and an engineer for the run of show.
Showcase + Party
The full Turbosound Floodlight system for headline showcases and after-parties.
Do you work with out-of-town agencies?
Yes, and that is who this page is for. We act as your local audio team: scoping, site visit, load-in and strike, with one point of contact the whole way.
Can you handle SXSW-week timing?
That week is the tightest of the year in Austin. Load-in windows are short, streets are closed and every crew is booked. Book as early as you can, and send us your access plan so we can work around it.
Our space was not built for sound. Is that a problem?
It is normal. Retail spaces, lofts and rooftops all behave differently. We spec for the room you actually have and place the system so it sounds good without fighting the architecture.
Will we get noise complaints?
Low frequencies are what travel. We aim and configure the low end toward your guests and away from neighbors, which protects your permit and your end time.
Can you support DJs and live performers?
Yes: DJ booth monitors, performer wedges, microphones and a clean input for playback. Send the talent riders and we will make sure they are covered.
Are you affiliated with SXSW?
No. We provide audio for independent events and activations happening in Austin during SXSW week. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by SXSW.
Make the brand
sound expensive.
Send the space, the dates and the run of show. We will come back with a plan.
