Established in 1993, Active Sound has grown at a steady rate providing quality service and productions for the music industry and corporate clients on the Sunshine Coast.

In March 2007, Stuart Jarman and Jeff Dorr purchased Active Sound. With a wealth of experience and grand visions for their new venture, Active Sound was destined for success.

Stuart, in his 17th year as a sound engineer has gained valuable experience and a wealth of knowledge. He has previously worked for companies such as Brisbane Sound Hire, ACP & IJS, and has worked extensively throughout Australia and Europe. His broad & diverse knowledge comes from touring with bands such as Keith Urban, The Wailers and The Angels, just to name a few.

Jeff Dorr has owned and successfully operated his own production company in South East Queensland for almost 15 years. Jeff brings to Active Sound his business and technical knowledge along with his attention to detail. Jeff's electrical background and passion for sound make him the perfect person for our installation division.

Together Stuart and Jeff have taken Active Sound to a new level of professionalism and quality. "We want to put service back into the industry "Stuart says "In Queensland we have quality systems, engineers and companies, but service is at a premium. It's our goal to turn that around."

The future is bright for Active Sound since the recent amalgamation with Lindsay Hall and Rod Fishwick.

Lindsay's experience stretches back some 30 years of real-time production. He hand crafted Hunter Sound into the largest leading production company in Newcastle and the NSW central coast. For over 20 years Lindsay has been servicing clients Australia wide. His knowledge of productions is legendary and certainly unsurpassed on the Sunshine Coast. His list of credits (too extensive to list) is truly remarkable.
Lindsay brings with him 48 Nexo Alpha E and Nexo PS15 used as wedges which is the only current technology on the sunshine coast. Lindsay explains, "Nexo give us the perfect solution for the service that Active Sound provides, supplying us with excellent value for money, ease of assembly, awesome reliability and exceptional customer support. With all this there isn't anything we can't achieve".

Rod Fishwick is the latest addition to Active Sound. Heading their corporate division, Rod's energy an experience is second to none. He's the previous owner of Aboard Entertainment in Canberra for over 15 years and has recently finished a 3 year term as Operation's Manager/Technical Director at Avcom on the Sunshine Coast.
Rod has brought with him a long list of loyal corporate clients. His achievements include The Daniel Morcombe foundation annual ball, Dragons Abreast, an international event designed to raise money for Breast cancer, and Telstra road shows and award nights.
Rod has also added an EV X-Array system to the inventory.

That's just the tip of the ice-berg for Rod, known as "The General". His determination, ability and eye for detail means he is a purist when it comes to quality production.
Rod knows corporate companies expect first class service and that's what we provide, without the usual hassles.

Together the new Active Sound is a "brains trust" of production. With a wealth of experience, talent and creativity they are focused on delivering the best product available.

We aim to provide a "One Stop Shop" for ALL organisations and individuals needing either a complete production package or just some sound advice from the leaders in the entertainment industry on the Sunshine Coast.
