Clean audio. Seamless coverage. No compromises. That’s the standard Eventspec brings to every show, and it was front and centre at this year’s Sydney Spirits Festival at Circular Quay. As the AV partner for this high-profile event, we delivered a fully time-aligned PA system spanning two levels and multiple balconies at the iconic Overseas Passenger Terminal. The challenge? Ensuring every guest, no matter where they wandered, experienced clear, even, and in-sync sound without overpowering the space. And we nailed it. Intelligent AV Design for a Busy, Multi-Level Venue To deliver consistent sound coverage across a dynamic and high-traffic environment, we took a detailed and thoughtful approach to system design: Time-aligned speaker setup across all areas to ensure flawless synchronisation. Strategic speaker placement to avoid hot spots or dead zones. Minimal sound spill thanks to careful tuning—ensuring the audio stayed where it was needed, not where it wasn’t. Cable routing and rigging planned to work within public traffic flows, maintaining both safety and aesthetics. Rather than relying on high volume, we deployed a larger number of distributed speakers. The result? Full-bodied, controlled sound that felt immersive and intentional, not intrusive. A Venue We Love, with a View That Can’t Be Beat We’re proud to deliver exceptional event AV across Sydney, but the Overseas Passenger Terminal holds a special place for our crew. With sweeping views of the harbour and direct access for trucks and gear, it’s one of our favourite locations. There’s nothing quite like setting up with the Sydney Opera House on one side and Harbour Bridge on the other. Trusted Again by the Festival Organisers A massive thank you to Gin Events and the Sydney Spirits Festival for inviting us back to deliver the technical production again this year. We love working with teams who value quality and who share that feeling when everything just clicks. In our world, the best feedback is a hug and the words: “Everything was perfect.” That’s the standard we aim for every time. Event AV Hire in Sydney? Let’s Talk.

Earlier this month, Eventspec had the pleasure of lighting one of the most visually striking installations at the Georges River Uncontained Festival—the unforgettable Tower Divas performance piece. Part public art, part live performance, Tower Divas combined fashion, sound and scale to transform the streets of Kogarah. And we were proud to bring it all to life with immersive lighting and sound design. Designing Light for Impact This installation was all about presence—and light played a huge role in amplifying the power of the performance. A huge shout out to Dylan, who designed a lighting display that was both bold and elegant. His vision shaped how the audience engaged with the installation, adding dimension and drama to every moment. Here’s how we approached the lighting setup: Astera battery-powered uplights were positioned at the base of the building columns, bathing the architecture in rich colour without the need for cabled power—ideal for heritage facades and tight install windows. Acme lighting fixtures mounted on truss towers created vertical shafts of moving light, framing the performers and adding theatrical impact. Astera Titan Tubes were placed discreetly beneath the performers' towering dresses, providing a soft, glowing underlight that created an ethereal, floating effect as they moved. The result? A fully immersive installation that felt like a living sculpture—illuminated with care and precision. Audio to Match the Visuals To complement the lighting design, we also supplied discreet, high-quality audio throughout the site to support narration, ambient sound, and performer cues—ensuring audiences were guided and grounded, even as the spectacle took shape around them. Art Meets Production Uncontained is one of Sydney’s most creative and community-driven festivals—and it was a privilege to collaborate with artists and curators who push the boundaries of public performance. Our role is always to support the vision with the right tools, crew, and tech, while staying invisible enough to let the art shine. Massive thanks to the Georges River Council and the Tower Divas team for trusting us with this spectacular installation.

This week, Eventspec had the privilege of hosting the first stop on the 2025 Ross Video Tour, presented by the brilliant team at Professional Audio & Television (PAT). Being the inaugural venue on the national tour wasn’t just exciting—it was a huge honour. The PAT crew rolled in with the latest innovations from Ross Video, giving our team a rare, hands-on experience with some of the most advanced production gear in the world right now. Tech We Got Up Close With From live video switchers and control systems to state-of-the-art broadcast graphics, this wasn’t just a look—it was a deep dive into how Ross technology is shaping the future of live production. For an event-focused company like ours, where seamless delivery and real-time control are everything, it was a brilliant opportunity to explore how these tools can enhance the work we do every day. Our crew loved the chance to test-drive the tech, ask the tough questions, and get real-time insights from PAT’s expert team. Why It Matters At Eventspec, we don’t just stay current—we stay ahead. Whether we’re delivering live-streamed corporate events, large-scale activations, or festival content, our clients rely on us for technical excellence. Tours like this keep us sharp, inspired, and ready to level up. Big thanks to PAT for choosing us as the first stop on the Ross Video tour, and to everyone who joined us for a day of serious gear talk and great conversations. Want to talk tech?
