It is not uncommon for equipment to be tentatively booked a year or two in advance for larger shows.

Yes. All of our equipment that comes into contact with 240V power is tested and tagged under the Victorian WorkSafe regulations. This reduces fire hazards and other faults in equipment that is unable to be visually inspected and ultimately keeps both our equipment and all of your guests safer at your event.

Rest assured, Fedora Productions audio systems can be as loud as required, but we value our hearing just as much as you!
It is our pleasure to bring the best experience to your event so you don’t have to worry about the entertainment side of things.
While there can never be any guarantees with late bookings, we appreciate how frustrating it can be for someone to cancel at the last minute. To combat this, we try to keep an availability for last minute bookings so that when it happens to you, we are still there for you and the show can go on.

Fedora Productions offer a wide range of services for live events including Audio production, live recording, professional lighting and effects, backline, staging and rigging, barriers and fencing, pyrotechnics and fireworks and more.
To learn more, head to our Live Events page.
We have lots of options for live audio production that depend on the room size, amount of members in the audience and many other factors.
Our smallest rigs cater up to about 200 people while our largest live shows can entertain 10,000+ people for a festival sized event!
We do require the venue to supply us with 2 tables and generally a marquee if the show is happening outside.
Alternatively, you can book marquees through us with one of our affiliated service providers.
Additionally, we will require a generator nearby the equipment for ease of use and safety at your event (usually behind the stage).
If you are providing a stage, please ensure it comes with stairs, railing if required and adequate cover in case it rains.
Alternatively, you can also book a stage through us with one of our affiliated services.
We can cater to most sized events from small productions to larger festival sized shows.
Depending on the size of your event, loading in the equipment and setting it up before the show can take several hours. All relevant services from staging, barriers, marquees, generators and anything else you may have organised must be structurally completed before we can begin setting up sound and lighting for the show.
Sometimes, we may use trucks or large heavy vehicles to carry the equipment to the venue so acquiring access to the grounds is best organised ahead of time to maximise productivity and minimise potential hazards.
At the end of the show, sound and some lighting may remain functional until guests have begun to leave the venue. At this time, the PA can be used for background music or addressing the crowds on a microphone while the stage equipment can be packed up.
Please allow time for pack down and bump out of the venue after the show as this can take several hours to complete safely.
Yes. We are very used to working with many artists at all production levels and technical riders from the more experienced professionals are to be expected. When you submit them to us, please ensure you also include contact information to the artist management so that we can work collaboratively with them to ensure the artist has what they need, if not – we can provide a closer 2nd best option.
In accordance with the operating and procedural standards of Safe Work Australia, we are able to produce detailed SWMS & JSA documents specific to your events needs and requirements.
Generally, our main sound systems and lighting equipment does not require the use of scaffolding, lifts or cranes and can be set up entirely by our crew alone.
However, in cases of larger events, it may be necessary to obtain additional crews and/or specialised machinery/vehicles to help safely install larger rigs.
Working with heights in relation to AV installs for events is common practice but many rules and regulations exist to ensure it is done correctly and above all, safely.
If you think your event may require the use of such items, please contact us for more information and a professional will be able to advise you on the requirements of your event.
Generally, the Audio Visual installations performed by Fedora Productions at live events do not require the use of PPE as many risks have been minimised in previous assessments in addition to pre-rigging and wiring our equipment to reduce the need of larger constructions each and every time it is used.
This allows us to be faster, more efficient and ultimately safer in the way we handle our equipment in and out of an installation.
On larger installs however, it may be required that heavy trucks with blindspots be used around the install in addition to lots of equipment that can be potentially dangerous if not handled correctly. Particularly in the night bump-outs, it can be crucial that crew members on site wear high visibility clothing when nearing the site to minimise risks further.
Yes. All of our equipment, staging & rigging alongside every affiliated service provider we employ meets all structural engineering requirements and safety standards so you can rest assured your artists and audience members will be safe at your show.
Just yourselves and any instruments you wish to use during the recording.
We have a large array of options from guitars and basses, amps and drum kits as well as a long list of percussive instruments and other options.
If you do bring your own instruments, make a note to also bring spare strings, picks and sticks that you may prefer to use as we do not stock all types for all genres and tunings. If you have microphones or hardware; preamps or other equipment you would like to use during your session, feel free to bring them along as well.
Typically we charge per day or per hour so this can include anything you wish – eg: a single day could be used to record a single live take and then mix for it to be taken home finished that day, or you may choose to track multiple days to mix some where else or any other combination.
Ultimately, it is up to you how you use the time and how long it will take depends on the the project, the proficiency of the performers, the detail and level of perfection you wish to create and of course, your budget.
A good place to start on an album is to first work out how many songs you would like to record, and break them down into what each needs. Some songs may cost more than others depending on the amount of instruments used or the simplicity of the performances required.
