Lighting & effects
Stage lighting rental and design
From a clean stage wash to a full moving-light rig with effects – lighting that makes the stage look the way you pictured it.
Lighting is what turns a room into a show. SR Audio designs and supplies lighting for concerts, corporate stages, galas, theater and worship, from small static systems to large moving-light rigs for concert tours.
Our lighting designers program the show on grandMA, Hog and Avolites consoles, and our crew hangs, focuses and runs it – with the truss, motors and rigging to put the lights where they need to be.

Our crew loads in, builds, tests and walks it with you before doors – on schedule, from our own warehouse.

Our engineers and technicians run the show, then strike and load out so the venue gets its room back on time.
