Services
Our owner, Michael Gaster, has over 30 years of experience in the industry - from design/build for permanent installations, to full symphonic or rock concert events and intimate acoustic shows. He has created a team of professionals who believe in the customers and the audiences we are privileged to serve.
Our focus is within the entertainment realm; it is our background, it is our passion, it is what we do! Our #1 goal is to provide a great audience experience that is current with the times, in any given space on every scale. We realize some facilities will never host the Grammy Awards and many will do more than have Town hall meetings; few will have full time operators, some with daily events, and some weekly.
We're the professionals and we don't just ask you "what do you want" we guide you through the process beginning with a Needs Assessment then a Space Evaluation, on to a Budget approval, then the Build, extensive Testing, Training, and finally the Turnover. Have us evaluate your existing system and identify areas for improvement and develop a long-term plan for getting your system(s) up to speed.
From the beginning, it's a conversation about your goals, the audience, and vision for the event. Our experienced team will make sure that on the big day everything - lighting, sound, staging, seating - runs like clockwork. This commitment to providing the highest caliber service every time ensures you get the results you desire, time after time.

We asked Michael to design a sound system for our restaurant's outside patio space. We wanted better coverage outside and integration with our inside system. His firm did an outstanding job. Now musicians can simply plug in their mixer and their music can be heard by our customers regardless of whether they are inside or out. Feel free to visit the Cockspur Grill on Tybee Island to see (hear) it for yourself.

Michael Gaster + Associates is an outstanding, professional company. They installed a major sound system at the Unitarian Church of Savannah -- and we couldn't be more pleased! The quality of the system and customer service is first-rate...and Michael even came to our first live performance using the new system in case we had problems or questions! I highly recommend them!!

Michael Gaster and his team always produce top-notch sound and light for our live events. They combine creative ideas and current gear with professional knowledge and skill to bring about a positive result every time. I especially enjoy their positive vibe as a partner vendor when it comes time to do the hard stuff. They always come through, and the result always speaks of their teamwork and efforts.
