what they’re saying

“The Parksville Beach Festival Society is proud to endorse VI Sound and their owner, Steve Adamson . Our collaboration began in 2022 with the opening of the Parksville Outdoor Theatre where Steve served as our Head Sound Technician for three years. During this time, Steve consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and expertise in sound production, helping  Parksville Outdoor Theatre  establish a strong reputation for delivering top-tier audio during our concerts.

As the venue's popularity grew and crowds expanded, it became clear that our original sound system needed an upgrade. Steve took the initiative to research, recommend, and source a new system, including line array speakers, bass bins, a Front of House console, and stage boxes. The upgrade was a game-changer, with attendees immediately noticing the improved sound quality—especially those seated farther from the stage. Today, Parksville Outdoor Theatre is known for its outstanding sound, and performing here has become a coveted opportunity for bands across Canada and the United States.

We wholeheartedly recommend VI Sound and Steve Adamson for anyone in need of high-quality sound production, expert technical advice, or state-of-the-art audio equipment installation.”
