Benjamin Spence is a Sound engineer and Tour Manager with 15+ years of experience freelancing with audio production companies and local venues. He enjoys the challenge of setting a band up for success both on and off the stage and ensuring that there’s as few distractions for them and their audience to enable the artist to give the best performance they can.
Well experienced with designing, rigging and tuning L’Acoustics PA systems, as well as operating Digico, Allen & Heath, Yamaha and Midas consoles and RF systems from Shure and Sennheiser.

Live Events

For over 10 years now I have done sound at many different live events from festivals to clubs and international sports events to weddings. I’m an experienced monitor and front-of-house engineer, and fully capable of fulfilling system tech roles as well as patch, backline and RF co-ordination. I’ll consider any touring or traveling opportunities.

Production Volunteer (FOH, MONS and Camera OP) @ Bethel Church Redding CA — Live Sound

The past few years I have specialized in System Engineering and FOH mixing though have spent my fair share of time on stage patching and mixing monitors, both IEM and wedges. I’m well versed in a variety of audio consoles (Digico SD, Midas, Yamaha and Avid to name a few) I’m competent in designing, rigging and implementing L’Acoustic PA systems from large arena format K1/K2 systems to smaller club setups with A10/15s or Kara.
I have had the pleasure to travel and work alongside some of the biggest names in production. From Bulgaria to California, from New Pagans to Lord of the Dance and Feeder to Dermot Kennedy.

Tour Management

When touring with bands as their sound engineer I have always naturally gravitated towards tour management roles and responsibilities, when there isn’t someone already doing that role, from advancing and scheduling to driving and making sure everyone is where the need to be at the right time it all comes naturally to me.
When I was touring with New Pagans right from the start I was having to confirm that venues had the correct riders, create and amend day sheets and keep track of simple tour expenses. Even when the inevitable hiccups came up on the road I was able to calmly take charge of the situation to work towards a solution.
