Audio: PA, FOH & Monitor Engineering
The PA is the show. We spec line-array or point-source systems from major manufacturers to the venue and audience size — never overbuilt, never underpowered. FOH and monitor engineers are W-2 crew, not freelance fill-ins, so the mix is consistent from setup through showtime.
- Line array and point-source PA systems sized to the venue
- Front-of-house and monitor consoles, mixed by experienced engineers
- RF coordination for wireless mics and in-ear monitor systems
- Stage backline support — DI boxes, monitor wedges, sub stacks
- Multi-stage audio for festivals with side-stage and main-stage configurations
Lighting: Stage Wash, Intelligent Fixtures & Special FX
Lighting is where a show becomes a show. From a clean four-color wash on a small DJ booth to a full intelligent rig with moving heads, beams, washes, cold sparks and fog — we design, program, and run lighting that matches the act, the audience, and the venue.
- Stage wash, intelligent moving lights, beam fixtures, conventional fixtures
- Lighting design and console programming by an experienced lighting designer
- Special effects: cold sparks, fog, haze, confetti, low-fog
- Truss-mounted rigs and ground-supported tower kits where there are no venue rigging points — see truss rentals →
- Live operator at console for the duration of every show
Video: LED Video Walls, IMAG & Live Streaming
Stage video pulls the back of the room forward. We deploy indoor 2.9mm and outdoor 3.9mm LED video walls, IMAG camera rigs for live magnification, and live-stream encoders for hybrid concerts and festivals that need to reach an audience beyond the venue.
- Indoor 2.9mm and outdoor 3.9mm at 4,500-nit LED video walls — see LED video walls →
- IMAG camera systems with live switching for headline stages
- Media servers and content playback — sizzle reels, sponsor loops, transitions
- Live streaming to social or private platforms — see hybrid & virtual events →
- Projection systems for venues that need them — see projector rentals →
Staging & Scenic Design
Stages set the scale of the show. We deploy modular platform stages, mobile trailer stages (SL100-class), and fully custom-fabricated stage builds — paired with scenic design that frames the act and reads on camera.
- Festival main stages — built up to 20'×30' and beyond on custom spec
- Stageline SL100 mobile trailer stages for outdoor festivals and civic events
- Modular 4'×8' platform stages in 12", 24", and 32" heights — see stage rentals →
- Custom-fabricated builds — luxury weddings, brand activations, tunnel entrances, runways
- Scenic design, branded backdrops, and stage drape for production value
Festival Site Planning & Logistics
A festival isn't just gear — it's a temporary city. Centric handles the operational side of large outdoor festivals and concerts: power, crowd flow, weather, permits, and load-in.
Power Distribution
Generator capacity sizing, distro panels to each stage, lighting power, RF coordination — including isolation between stages to prevent interference.
Crowd Flow & Audience Layout
Stage placement, audience sightline planning, side-stage IMAG positioning, bar and food layout, ADA-compliant access routes.
Weather Contingency
Arizona's monsoon season is real. We plan for wind load on truss towers, sun exposure on outdoor stages, lightning protocols, and emergency tear-down procedures.
Permitting & Venue Coordination
Municipal permitting partner coordination, venue operations liaison, load-in time-slot management, fire marshal and safety officer interaction.
Load-In & Load-Out Logistics
Truck order, crew call sheets, gear staging, freight elevator timing for indoor builds, parking-lot stage placement for outdoor.
On-Site Safety Management
On-site production manager dedicated to the safety and execution side — separate from the technical crews — so issues get triaged in real time.
Multi-Day Festival & Conference Operations
Multi-day events are one of our specialties. We've handled multi-day gatherings with multiple stages, speakers, and over 1,000 attendees — and we know the discipline difference between a one-night show and a three-day festival.
Daily Turnaround Crews
Rotating crew schedules so the team that ran show 1 isn't running show 2 on no sleep. Each day gets fresh operators at FOH, monitors, lights, and stage management.
Equipment Hold & Reset
Overnight gear hold protocols, cabling reset, console patch snapshots saved per show, line-checks every morning before doors.
Multiple Stage Coordination
Festival schedules with overlapping stage times mean every act gets the right gear at the right moment. Stage managers per stage, runners between, one production manager over all.
Overnight Security & Gear Hold
Overnight stage and gear security coordination with the venue, weather monitoring for outdoor builds, and pre-doors safety walkthrough each morning.

What Our Clients Say
Real feedback from Centric clients — from corporate event planners and non-profit festival organizers to wedding clients and brand-activation producers.
"We absolutely love the Centric team! No matter the size of our event—whether it's a small meeting or a multi-day gathering with multiple stages, speakers, and over 1,000 attendees—they always go above and beyond to meet our needs. We often have last-minute changes or pivots with our larger programs, and they are always willing to accommodate and help ease the burden of the event planners! We appreciate the culture of their team and their positive attitudes. It feels like we are one big team. We've been working with them for about two years now and consistently have a fantastic experience thanks to their hardworking and dedicated team. 10/10 highly recommend! – Carvana"
"I recently worked with the Centric Team and they handled all of our AV and lighting needs effortlessly. This was a big project with a lot of moving parts and a lot of changes along the way. The Centric Team was able to execute all of my requests. I really appreciate their flexibility and professionalism. I will definitely use them again for my next event."
"We had all of our tables, chairs, and AV rented from Centric for our wedding this past weekend. To say it made the preparation process easy is an understatement. Their attention to detail and knowledge was priceless and made our big day prep stress free. I would highly recommend for any event rental needs!"
"From the start such a pleasure to work with. Fast and clear communication. Competitive pricing and friendly team members who arrive on time. I look forward to partnering with them more."
"Timely delivery and pickup. Equipment is great condition, will use Centric for rentals in the future. Speaker rented are in middle of deep ballroom holding 1200 people"
"Unbelievably fantastic experience with the Centric folks. We came to town for a large trade show and the Centric team gave us a full white glove experience end-to-end with a beautiful LED backdrop that made a massive difference at our tradeshow. They even helped us with the design of our backdrop, which was a huge plus. Overall, just never see people go above and beyond the way that they do. Thank you so much Daniel!"
"Used Centric Events for an event during MLB Spring Training – Extremely easy process and the quality was 10/10. Daniel Pitner was very helpful. We will definitely use them again when we are in town!"
"We've entrusted the Centric Team with the A/V production for our Phoenix Chinese Week Lunar New Year Festival for the past three years, and they have consistently exceeded our expectations. Roger's ability to provide competitive pricing within our non-profit budget was a significant benefit. Their meticulous planning and early setup ensured a smooth event, and the on-site technicians were not only highly professional but also proactively assisted our performers with equipment setup, going above and beyond their assigned duties. Their dedication to customer service and technical expertise makes them an invaluable partner, and going forward we are thrilled to continue working with them at our annual festival."
"We couldn't have been happier working with Centric Events for our outdoor 3×3 National Championships. They coordinated LED boards, video displays and special affects with fog and cold sparks to make our event special and a huge success! The professionalism and care in lead up and on-site was first-class. After vetting multiple options, Centric was the only right choice for our event and we'll use them again and again."
"I am an event planner in the valley and Centric is one of our go to teams for almost all of our events. Whether its lighting, draping, sound equipment, tables, chairs, dancefloors, etc. they have it all, making them the best one stop shop. Cannot recommend enough and we look forward to MANY more events together."
"Centric Events have been helpful to our company at multiple events for lighting, AV, and other creative solutions. Their team is flexible in creative solutions regarding event ideas, willing to research and work on their end to offer ideas, options, and solutions to make the idea possible. Eric is an innovator and incredibly hard worker who treats the event as his own each time. Daniel is also very helpful during the planning process."
