Can you hear me now? 

You may laugh, but that is a very important question.  Many auction committees are convinced by a venue that their "house" sound system is fabulous.  It may be . . . for conferences where everyone is quiet listening to a speaker or for music where no one really needs to hear the words; but for Auctions you need a professional sound system brought in with sound engineer on site.

The cost of a professional sound system which will allow the sound to be pleasant (not too loud, not too soft) and audible throughout the room will pay for itself many times over.  If your sound person says, "We can be as loud as you want" they are the WRONG person!  Loud is not your goal - clear and pleasant coverage is your answer.   You may spend a little extra for a high quality sound system, but it will raise you many times more than you spend!   And, you guests will have an enjoyable evening and be excited about returning next year.   Make the investment!!

Select your sound system carefully - as carefully as you select your venue and your auctioneer.

Remember, your audience will not bid if they cannot understand your auctioneer!
