Quality without corporate overheads
A lean structure instead of a large organisation: you get technology otherwise offered only by major agencies – at fair prices, planned and personally overseen by the owner.
German premium brands, kept up to date
We consistently rely on German premium brands – Seeburg Acoustic Line, Sennheiser, Astera, JB Lighting – and keep our inventory at the current state of the art.

In operation since 1998: weekly corporate bookings, town festivals, carnival sessions and events for up to 2,000 guests – currently also a corporate event in Kerpen on behalf of a Dutch company.
Team & trades
The team behind the technology
