What we bring
Everything you need to put on a show.
PA system
Powered front-of-house with sub support, sized to the room. Indoor or outdoor, festival-scale or coffeehouse — we right-size every show.
Monitors
Stage monitor mixes for full bands, in-ears when the room calls for it, dedicated monitor engineer when the rider warrants one.
Microphones & DI
Full mic locker — vocals, drums, guitar amps, brass, acoustic instruments, lecterns, lavs. DI boxes for keys, basses, acoustic pickups.
Backline (when needed)
Drum kit, guitar amps, bass amp, keys — available on request. Communicate the rider in advance and we'll bring what fits.
Wireless & comms
Wireless handhelds and lavs for ceremonies, presentations, and panels. Frequency-coordinated, pre-tested, with backups in the rack.
Power & weather
Dedicated 20-amp circuits, surge protection, weather covers for outdoor events. Section 8 of the agreement covers the safety side in detail.
LifeThruMusic Band
Want a band, not just sound?
Cook Media's in-house band, LifeThruMusic, performs at ceremonies, cocktail hours, receptions, and corporate events. We tailor the set to the room: quiet acoustic during dinner, full band when the dancing starts.
Pricing is custom per event because the right number depends on date, venue, expected duration, and any specific song requests. Tell the chat what you're picturing and Corey will send a quote within 24 hours.
- Ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, or all three
- Custom set list, including must-play songs
- Pairs naturally with Cook Media live sound + AV

FAQ
Questions promoters and band leads ask.
- Do you provide backline?
- Yes, on request. Drum kit, guitar amps, bass amp, keys — communicate the rider in advance so we can confirm what fits the room and the budget.
- How far in advance do you need a stage plot?
- Seven days minimum (per Section 7 of the agreement). The earlier the better — late stage plots mean we're guessing about input counts and gear, and the show suffers for it.
- Can you record the show?
- Recording is not included by default. If recording is part of the engagement, we agree on it in writing up front (per Section 16) — it affects equipment, channels, and pricing.
- What if the venue is outdoors?
- Outdoor events need weather protection — tenting for the FOH position, weather covers for the PA, and dedicated 20-amp power. Section 8 of the agreement covers the safety side in full.
- Do you do corporate events too?
- Yes — see the corporate page. Conferences, fundraisers, internal events. Same gear, different mix.
