About us

Professional sound engineering for live events

KRT Audio is a Pittsburgh live sound company. We bring a complete audio and lighting system to your event on our own equipment truck, set it up on time, mix the show, and load out when it is over.

Our work covers music, public speaking, and institutional events: bands and concerts, comedy nights and dinner theater, church retreats, civic celebrations and corporate gatherings, and outdoor festivals. Every note, every word, and every moment should be heard clearly, from the front row to the back of the room.

Event sound, lighting, and crew

Everything a stage needs from one Pittsburgh sound company. Pick what the event calls for and we size it to the room, or see how it works.

  • Full audio system

    TOA HX5B line arrays over EV T-18 subs on QSC amplification, flown or ground stacked. JBL Vertec system available for the big shows. See the full rig.

  • Shure wireless microphones

    A large selection of quality American Shure wireless handhelds, with wired SM58 backups on stage in case anything misbehaves. Ideal for church services and corporate presenters.

  • Digital LED concert lighting

    Very bright digital LED fixtures for wash, color, and movement. Enough for a festival field, controllable enough for a sanctuary. Built for festivals and concerts.

  • Digital mixing

    Two synced Midas M32 consoles: one for front of house and one dedicated to monitors, so the band and the crowd each get their own mix.

  • Stage monitors

    Six new biamped, DSP controlled floor monitors, 800 watts on the lows and 400 on the highs, so performers hear themselves clearly.

  • Truck and crew

    Our fully equipped truck brings the whole rig to you. The crew loads in, sets up on time, runs the show, and loads out.

Keynotes, award dinners, galas, expos, company parties, and community celebrations. Speeches need to be clear and intelligible in every seat, and the band after dinner needs full range. We set up quietly before guests arrive and keep the stage tidy.

  • Podium and panel microphones with feedback control
  • Background music, walk-up music, and video playback
