Approach
A coverage study is done on the venue drawings, before any equipment is ordered. It tells you which system to hire, where to place it, at which rigging angles, and what coverage each audience area can expect.
On site, tuning starts from that basis: it refines instead of rescuing a badly placed system.
NPFS works for producers, venues, event organisers and technical suppliers, directly or alongside their crew.
NPFS — No Place For Silence — is Matthieu Valenza, FOH and system engineer: over ten years in live sound, after starting out in the studio.
Services
Sound system design and tuning — Before the show: coverage prediction, system sizing, rigging positions and angles, block diagrams. A technical file ready to pass on to the rental company and the venue. On site: measurement, alignment and tuning.
FOH mixing — Concerts, symphonic and film-concert programmes, corporate events, fashion shows. In venues or on tour.
Head of sound — A sound department lead for your production or event: equipment sourcing and hire, budget, scheduling and crew, from preparation to show.
Training — Courses, practical sessions and talks in live sound engineering, for schools and higher education.

Your project
For a study, send the venue drawings, the expected capacity and the date: the proposal is built on that. For anything else, a short message is enough.
