Speaking Engagements

For over 30+ years, Dave has helped audio professionals and novices alike understand and share his joy of professional audio. A sought after panelist, moderator, and clinician, Dave has shared his deep and varied knowledge on both the domestic and international stage. From the Audio Engineering Society (AES) to National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), MusikMesse | Pro Light & Sound, WFX to the Southern California School Band & Orchestra Association (SCSBOA), Dave’s ability to turn complex audio engineering topics into easily understood subjects has earned him invitations to speak on several podcasts, and webinars for both MxU and Avixa.

"The microphone technique clinic has transformed the sound of my band. My students are more confident in getting the sound that they want and comfortable with the different equipment at every venue and performance. They have a much more mature approach to helping one another when it comes to microphone technique and as a band director I am now always confident that the sound coming through the speakers is much closer to the sound that I am used to hearing in my band room." 

Brad Davis- Band Director Esperanza High School

"Dave's approach to teaching is unique and highly effective.  He's a fantastic drummer and thus has been trained how to listen to the big picture-and make precise adjustments to draw out a band's full potential- for YEARS!  This also makes him great at communicating with all parties, since he speaks both musician and soundman fluently, and can address specific requests with ease.  He's THE man to show you the ropes and answer your questions!"

Ryan McGee- Disneyland All American College Band 2019, Mellophone, French Horn
