Whether it’s a conference, product launch, trade fair or corporate event – we provide professional lighting, sound, video, rigging and trussing technology for events of any scale. With our own technical equipment and vehicle fleet, a well-coordinated team and a clear process structure, we ensure everything runs smoothly and delivers outstanding results – from the initial idea to the final signal. Throughout Germany and internationally.

We are also the preferred technical partner for event venues. We know the venues’ spaces, connections and procedures inside out; we provide permanent equipment for the venues and manage events on site. For organisers, this means shorter planning times, less set-up and a team that already knows the venue. → Find out more about our venue service

We have been an official service partner of Messe Düsseldorf for 40 years. This means that we provide the technical infrastructure for every major event in Düsseldorf. → Find out more about our trade fair expertise

If you’re looking for something special, we also create eye-catching interactive special formats – from bespoke exhibition stand construction to a perfectly coordinated drone show.

Sound equipment hire for events – PA systems, microphones & conference systems

Good sound equipment is the foundation of any successful event. SIGMA provides professional audio solutions for clear speech intelligibility, powerful sound and even sound coverage – for any format and any room size. Our technicians precisely tailor speakers, microphones and signal routing to the acoustic conditions and event objectives: from wireless microphone systems and in-ear monitoring to line arrays. With digital mixing consoles, audio networks and integration with interpreting equipment or live streaming – whether live, hybrid or virtual.

Our audio services:

- Speech and music sound reinforcement for venues of all sizes

- Digital mixing desks & audio networks

- Lecterns, conference systems, radio links

- Integration with interpreting equipment & streaming

- Line array systems for large-scale events & smaller open-air formats

- In-ear monitoring for stage performances & hybrid presentations

- Wireless microphone technology (handheld microphones, headsets, lavalier microphones)

- Digital mixing desks & central signal control

- Audio-over-IP & Dante networks for professional audio distribution

- Lecterns, conference systems & participant microphones

- Integration with interpreting equipment, translation systems & live streaming platforms

What does sound engineering for events involve?

Sound engineering encompasses all systems used for the transmission of speech and music – for example, loudspeaker systems, microphones, mixing desks, in-ear monitoring and signal distribution via audio networks.

When do you need a line array system?

Line arrays are used when sound needs to be distributed evenly over large areas – for example, at concerts, open-air events or trade fairs with large audience areas.

What is the difference between in-ear monitoring and stage monitors?

In-ear systems transmit the monitor signal directly to in-ear headphones, which reduces the volume on stage and allows the mix to be adjusted to suit individual preferences. Stage monitors are loudspeakers positioned on the floor in front of the performers.

Can SIGMA AV also provide the sound equipment for hybrid events?

Yes – we also integrate audio solutions for hybrid formats, including live streaming, interpreting equipment and digital signal routing via Dante or Audio-over-IP.

Lighting hire for events – LED, DMX & stage lighting

Lighting draws attention, defines spaces and showcases content. Our LED-based systems cover everything from ambient lighting and accent lighting to stage lighting effects – all energy-efficient and fully customisable. Using DMX programming and live lighting control, we create tailored lighting atmospheres for every type of event.

SIGMA AV supplies high-impact lighting equipment for events – complementing sound, video or stage design, tailored to your content, your budget and your audience.

Our lighting services:

- Ambient lighting for exhibition stands, stages & event venues

- Accent lighting for product displays and speaker areas

- Control via DMX, lighting console and scene programming

- Use of LED spotlights, profilers and moving lights

- Energy-efficient lighting solutions for indoor and temporary outdoor set-ups

- Integration into existing event technology and venue designs

What lighting solutions does SIGMA offer for events?

We offer ambient lighting, accent lighting, stage lighting and lighting control via DMX – specifically for small to medium-sized events.

Can you also integrate lighting discreetly?

Yes – we plan the lighting so that it is both functional and atmospheric, whilst blending discreetly into the event design.

Is LED lighting more energy-efficient at events?

Absolutely. Our LED spotlights and profile lights offer high light output with low energy consumption and are ideal for temporary event installations.

Can lighting effects be synchronised with sound and video?

Yes – using control protocols such as DMX or Art-Net, lighting shows can be seamlessly synchronised with audio or video content.

Video equipment hire – LED screens, camera equipment & live streaming

From the stage to the screen: we integrate camera equipment, media servers, streaming solutions and content delivery into a seamless, end-to-end system – tailored to the venue, format and target audience.

Our video technology showcases your messages effectively. Whether it’s camera footage, a presentation or motion graphics – we control all signals centrally, scale them as required and display them in crystal-clear sharpness on projection screens or LED walls.

Should you hire or install video technology? For permanent video infrastructure in boardrooms, showrooms or retail spaces, we also provide professional AV integration with permanently installed LED walls, media servers and camera systems.

Our services in the field of video technology

- LED walls, LED strips & projection systems

- Media servers & content playback

- Camera tracks, PTZ cameras & video control rooms for live events

- Video recording & event recording in broadcast quality

- Live streaming set-ups for hybrid & digital events

- Signal distribution & scaling via SDI, HDMI, NDI & IP

- Integration with presentation technology and existing AV systems

- High-resolution LED walls & projection technology (indoor & outdoor)

What video equipment does SIGMA AV offer for events?

We offer LED screens, projection equipment, camera tracks, media servers, control rooms, event recording and live streaming solutions – for events of all sizes.
 

What is the advantage of LED screens over projection?

LED screens deliver brilliant images even in daylight, are modular and scalable, and do not require a projection distance – making them ideal for stages, trade fair displays or open-air events.

Do you also offer live streaming for hybrid events?

Yes – our streaming set-ups are optimised for professional broadcasts and can be combined with camera, audio and content feeds.

How is video transmission managed at major events?

We use central control rooms, scalable media servers and a well-designed signal distribution system via SDI, HDMI or IP – ensuring stable, redundant performance.

Rigging & Truss Hire – safely planned, professionally installed.

Rigging is indispensable in event technology when it comes to positioning loads such as lighting, sound or video equipment safely and securely above the audience or stage. At SIGMA AV, we offer truss systems and rigging solutions in the medium-capacity range – ideal for trade fairs, corporate events, stage areas or temporary event installations.

Whether it’s individual suspensions for moving lights, discreet trusses for supporting technical equipment or elegant bespoke structures – we rely on tested materials, structurally sound constructions and a clear design aesthetic.

Our services in the field of rigging & trussing:

- Installation and suspension of lighting, sound and video equipment

- Truss systems in various formats and colours

- Lifting gear, material hoists and motorised chain hoists

- Preparation of load distribution plans and verifiable structural calculations

- Integration of rigging into room and stage design

- Hire and installation of truss systems for events, trade fairs and presentations

What is meant by ‘rigging’ in event technology?

Rigging refers to the safe suspension of event equipment – such as loudspeakers, spotlights or LED screens – from trusses or ceiling structures.

Does SIGMA AV also offer truss systems for hire?

Yes – we hire out trusses in various sizes, colours and designs, including accessories such as hoists, slings and motorised chain hoists.

Does SIGMA AV also produce structural analyses and load diagrams?

Yes – we draw up verifiable load distribution plans and structural analyses directly as part of our specialist design work to ensure maximum safety.

Is rigging also worthwhile for small events?

Definitely. Even at smaller events, rigging enables lighting and video equipment to be positioned safely and professionally – often with more aesthetically pleasing results.

Venue Services

Whether it’s an event venue, conference centre, cultural venue or hotel with event spaces: we ensure your venues are technically equipped to host any type of event. We analyse your existing facilities, plan and install sound, lighting and video equipment, and, if required, manage day-to-day technical operations. This makes your venue more attractive to event organisers and agencies, without you having to set up your own technical department.

We have been an official service partner of Messe Düsseldorf for 40 years. Our team is on site, knows every hall and every connection, and supports events day in, day out. It is precisely this experience that we bring to your venue. → Find out more about our exhibition expertise

For permanently installed systems, we draw on our experience in AV integration. For long-term support, we utilise our Managed Service, which includes maintenance, monitoring and dedicated contact persons.

Planning & 3D Visualisation – See your venue before construction begins

We plan your technical setup to ensure it fits in with your spaces and your day-to-day operations. With 3D visualisations, CAD plans and sectional drawings, you can see in advance how the stage, lighting, projection screens and sound system will look in your venue. This provides confidence when making investment decisions and immediately gives you the material you need to market your spaces to event organisers.

Our services in the area of venue management

- Consultancy & needs analysis

- Equipment & installation

- 3D visualisations of rooms, stages and technical set-ups

- CAD planning, sectional drawings & technical plans

- Lighting and sound concepts for varying event formats

- Planning of room configurations (conference, banquet, concert, exhibition)

- Load distribution plans and verifiable structural analyses

- Coordination with architects, specialist planners & building services engineers

- Technical event support provided by our technicians

- A dedicated point of contact who knows your venue

- Maintenance, monitoring & fault rectification

- Supplementary hire equipment for special event formats

- Technical advice for event organisers and agencies booking your venue

For which venues is the venue service suitable?

For event venues, conference and meeting centres, cultural venues, hotels with event spaces, and municipal venues – in other words, anywhere where rooms are regularly let out for various types of events.

Is it worth carrying out a stock-take even if the necessary technology is already in place?

Yes. It is often possible to continue using existing technology or to supplement it in a targeted manner. The analysis will show you where an investment is worthwhile and where it is not.

What exactly does the technical operation of a venue involve?

We are your venue’s technical partner. We manage events, keep the technical equipment in good working order and act as the point of contact for your customers. We work on an on-call basis with a pool of staff or with a permanent team on site.
 

360° visualisation: Showcasing spaces and venues before they are built

Whether it’s banquet or conference seating, a trade fair stand or a product launch: with 360° 3D visualisations, you and your clients can see how a space will look with a stage, lighting, projections and technical equipment before anything has been set up. Venue operators use the visualisations for property brochures and quotations; event organisers and agencies use them to coordinate with their clients; and we use them for technical planning.

We don’t just photograph your spaces. We recreate them in 3D and stage them. This creates views of set-ups that don’t even exist yet: the gala in the hall that is still set up as a conference room, or the LED wall that has yet to be installed.

These visualisations form part of our event technology and our venue service. For permanent installations, we utilise them in AV integration.

Our services in this area: 360° visualisation for venues, events & trade fairs

- 360° views of various room layouts and seating arrangements

- Lighting and technical set-ups tailored to each event format

- Stills for property brochures, websites and social media

- Updates following refurbishments or new technical installations

- 360° visualisation of stages, sets and exhibition stands

- Depiction of LED walls, projections and content placement

- Lighting and atmosphere concepts for each programme item

- Comparison options for pitches and client consultation

- Visualisations for exhibition appearances at Messe Düsseldorf and nationwide

- Placement of loudspeakers, trusses and suspension points

- Verification against room heights, ceiling loads and escape routes

- Basis for CAD plans, sectional drawings and structural analysis

- Coordination with the venue, fire safety and trades

- Coordination with stand builders, the agency and the creative team

Why is 3D planning useful before implementation?

Because sight lines, glare and space constraints can be identified using a scale model. This avoids the need for alterations on site and provides planning certainty in terms of budget and schedule.

Does visualisation replace technical design?

No, it complements them. We also produce load calculations, structural analyses and CAD drawings based on the same model.

Können Visualisierung und Technikplanung aus einer Hand kommen?

Can visualisation and technical planning be provided by a single source?
