Power Audio

What Power Audio does

Power Audio is a privately held, family-owned audio-visual equipment company headquartered at 3 Delatite Avenue, Shepparton, Victoria 3630, Australia. Founded circa 2005 with over two decades of operating history, the company operates as a regional AV hire, sales, and installation provider serving the Goulburn Valley region. Its offering is structured across four discrete service lines: (1) equipment hire of speakers, mixing consoles, lighting, projectors, microphones, screens, vision equipment and accessories on usage-based terms; (2) equipment sales as an authorised dealer for 17+ premium pro-AV brands; (3) professional installation for schools, places of worship, and commercial venues with post-installation training; and (4) outdoor cinema/projection services using AIRSCREEN inflatable screens and Epson 3LCD projectors. Customer segments are organised by vertical across schools/auditoriums, places of worship, commercial/industrial environments, and event organisers.

The product portfolio spans the full professional AV stack. Front-of-house and line-array PA covers Martin Audio W8LM/W8LMD, FBT 406a/604a, JBL SRX4735, and RCF subwoofers; mixing consoles include Midas HD96-24, M32r, MR12, and Allen & Heath MixWizard/ZED; lighting encompasses Chauvet, ACME, and Chauvet Intimidator fixtures with Chamsys MagicQ control; microphones span Shure QLXD/SLX wireless, DPA 2028, Audio-Technica AE-series, Sennheiser, Countryman, and Heil Sound; vision equipment includes Sony PXW-X70 cameras, Roland V-1HD switchers, and HDBaseT distribution; and signal processing covers Martin Audio DX2, DBX, and LA Audio DSP/EQ. Amplification uses Powersoft, Lab.Gruppen, Crown, and TOA. The technology stack is entirely traditional hardware — there is no proprietary software platform, no API offering, and no AI/ML component. The technical proposition is providing premium-brand equipment at regional scale with delivery, collection, installation, and training services bundled.

Power Audio generates revenue through four mechanics: usage-based equipment hire (30% booking deposit, tiered cancellation fees scaling from 30% at 7+ days notice to 100% same-day, pay-on-completion settlement); one-time equipment sales as an authorised distributor; professional installation services; and outdoor cinema projects. Pricing for long-term hire (29+ days) is differentiated with separate lamp replacement cost rules. Go-to-market is direct sales-led, relationship-driven, and locally executed through phone (03 5831 8998), email ([email protected]), a content-led website, and an in-person gallery showcase. There are no disclosed digital advertising channels, no external investors, no parent company, and no capital-raising activity — the company operates as a bootstrapped family enterprise with self-sustaining finances.
