A pair of these 2-way, 2000 watt, concert-quality PA speakers, with powerful 15" woofer, and crystal clear 1.4" tweeter, make up the backbone of our main PA system used for wedding receptions, parties, and karaoke.  With crisp clean high end, and full, robust bass, and enough power to cover rooms as large as 200'x200', these speakers are perfect for just about any application.

This 2,000W 18" Powered Subwoofer, delivers deep, full, chest-thumping low-end, and is typically used in tandem with our ALTO TS315's in "big room" or club applications.  It's built-in selectable LPF DSP cuts out high and mid frequencies, to prevent that "muddy" sounding bass signal, and keep the bass, and sub-bass notes stiff and clean.

A Pair of these 1000-watt Powered PA Speakers with 15" Woofer, 1.5" Titanium HF Driver, and built-in Bluetooth, are our ceremony workhorses, and "big-room" fill in speakers, when used in tandem with a pair of ALTO TS315's.  The built-in DSP allows these incredibly clear-sounding speakers to be set specifically for live audio situations to stop feedback before it begins, and accentuate the the human vocal range.   This will allow your ceremony guests to hear every nuance of your vows and pronouncements, while eliminating the danger of the high-pitched ear-busting whine of feedback, if a mic gets too close to a speaker.  

The latest iteration of Rane's groundbreaking DJ controller.  Used by world-renowned DJ's such as DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Steve Aoki.  The motorized platter gives the authentic feel of a vinyl turntable, and converts every touch of the finger into midi signal, which is read by our Serato or Virtual DJ software, and translated into movements in the audio track.  This allows our DJ's the razor-fine control of a large 12" platter when performing turntable scratch , drop-ins, and beat-mixing, but none of the skipping, and poor audio quality associated with vinyl turntables.

The core of our Main PA system.  This 18-in/18-out digital mixer does it ALL!  From direct near-zero-latency USB audio input from our DJ software, to a fully-stocked audio effects library.   This unit can receive up to 18 different inputs in any combination of USB, XLR, or ¼", and output on 8 hardware busses, and 18 virtual busses.  We use it to receive the audio signal from our DJ software, and microphones, blend the signals together, apply any necessary equalization(to accentuate or dilute certain audio frequencies), then apply compression(this keeps the audio volume from jumping wildly, and keeps each song at the same max volume), then send the audio signal out to our PA.  For karaoke we apply studio quality effects like reverb, chorus, and delay to karaoke vocals, making the singer sound more like the original artist.

This midi control surface with motorized faders, LCD displays, and RGB pads interfaces with our XR18 digital mixer to give full tactile control over all aspects of our audio.  From adjusting individual mic volumes, to applying reverb, even picking up the high-end of a mic signal during a speech, to make the vocals clearer.

We use these mics for everything from toasts, and host addresses, to karaoke.  Shure handheld digital wireless mics are industry standard for high-end mobile DJ/Karaoke applications.  With digital "true diversity" technology, the transmitter and receiver communicate on 2 channels simultaneously, while 1 channel is being used for the audio stream the other is being used to constantly scan all channels in the background, looking for one with less interference, and stronger signal.  If a better channel is found, the units connect on that channel, and hand the audio stream over onto it.  This all happens hundreds of times a second and NEVER creates a dropout in audio.  The SM58 mic unit incorporates a cardioid dynamic microphone capsule, that has a frequency range from 50 to 15k HZ, so every nuance of the vocals are captured.  And the dynamic capsule limits audio pickup to close range, preventing feedback in live performances.

Pioneer's flagship standalone DJ controller.  This unit gives your DJ exacting tactile control over his DJ software, for smooth transitions, seamless mixes, and turntable tricks you would swear were done on an actual vinyl turntable.

This peripheral midi controller allows for customized control schemes, so your DJ has every knob, button, and fader just where he wants it.  Used in conjunction with our Rane Twelve turntables, this unit allows one hand to always be free to manipulate the platter during drop-ins, scratches, and beat-mixing.

This peripheral midi controller gives your DJ ultimate control over audio effects, loops, samples, rolls, slices, even instant doubles.  Used in tandem with the Rane Twelve's, this unit puts control over all the little tricks we use to make our mixes sound so good, right at your DJ's fingertips.

Used in our ceremony audio kit, this digital mixer allows your DJ to control all aspects of the audio output, from adjusting individual microphone levels, to adding effects for live musicians.  The unit also allows the main audio bus to be captured and recorded to a USB drive.  This can be given to your videographer to dub over your ceremony video, so all you'll hear is what you wanted, no jets going over, babies crying, etc.

Used during your ceremony, to capture the officiant's readings, and your vows and pronouncements.  These tiny clip on mics, are light, and invisible in your photos.  With just about the best audio quality money can buy, and rock-solid reception.  Your guests will be certain to hear it all, with absolutely ZERO audio drop-outs.

Custom-built by SME, and engineered specifically to accommodate water-soluble, rice paper confetti.   The MKIII has a pressure vessel rated at 40PSI, and an articulated triple 1" barrel system to infinitely adjust the height, width, and length of the confetti cloud.   Our rice paper confetti is not only extremely eco-friendly(it's actually edible), but doesn't leave behind a mess.  Once it comes into contact with water, the confetti begins to immediately dissolve.  Which is why SME is one of the only wedding DJ services in the region permitted to use confetti-effects at almost every venue.  

The MKIII's big brother, the MKIV is designed for outdoor use and incorporates a lager 1½" barrel, and a reinforced pressure vessel, rated at 80PSI.  Capable of launching confetti 40' high, the MKIV is perfect to add a little extra "WOW" to your exit photos.  

Step into our office!  The ProX Mesa media edition has a sleek, modern design, with interchangeable black, or white skrim(cover).  The media edition is also capable of housing a 60" flat panel display.  Perfect for karaoke, photo slideshows, or music videos. 

Chauvet's all-in-one mobile DJ lighting system.  The GigBar 2.0 features a pair of derby fixtures, RGBY+UV par fixtures, 4 white strobes, 4 UV strobes, and a red/green laser with beam splitter for that disco ball effect.

The Intimidator is a moving beam spotlight, with multicolored gobos.  Unlike other moving spots, which have the entire bulb, lens, gobo, and associated wiring, and boards mounted in a housing which is mounted on a motorized platform to facilitate pan and tilt.  The Intimidator simply directs it's beam into a lightweight mirror, which is mounted on a pan/tilt platform.  This allows for much snappier movements, and less motor noise.

The Rockwedge is a totally wireless multicolor RGBY+UV fixture.  With a 10 hour internal battery, and wireless DMX control built-in, these fixtures can be placed in locations that would otherwise be impossible with other par lights, as there are absolutely no wires required.

With 252 individually controllable RGB LED's the Rockstrip 252 is a great addition to any dancefloor lighting scheme.  Whether used as perimeter uplighting, or to show off CO2 vapor from our Nimbus machine, this DMX controlled fixture will make your dancefloor dance. 

The S-1500 is a set of 4 remotely actuated cold spark fountains.  As the fountain of sparks is not hot(you can hold your hand in it and not be burned), it is safe for use indoors or out, and adds that undefinable element to your formal exit, or first dance. 

The Nimbus converts 1lb of dry ice into vapor in just a few seconds, and can keep a dancefloor covered in a knee-high cloud for up to 2 minutes.  Perfect for that "dancing on the clouds" effect for your first dance.

The TC-2L is a vertical fogger, with LED lighting built in, to accentuate the fog cone as it rises from the unit.  When set to an orange/red shade, it is often mistaken for a pyrotechnic effect, and can be the perfect exclamation point at the end of a key moment during your reception.
