DJ, stage lighting, and PA repair. $49 diagnosis, then a quote you approve.
Mixers and controllers, powered speakers, LED fixtures. We know how this gear actually lives: in a truck, over a bar, above a fog machine. Beer, drops, and smoke fluid are normal wear here, not surprises. You approve the quote before any work starts.
How DJ and PA pricing works
$49 to find out exactly what your rig needs. The fix is then one flat quote, approved before anything starts.
Diagnosis
$49The $49 diagnostic answers the real question: what failed, whether it is worth fixing, and what the whole job costs. Free when you approve the repair.
DJ mixers & controllers
Quoted after diagnosisChannel dropouts, dead and scratchy faders, cue system faults, USB and power boards. Faders get replaced, not cleaned into their next failure.
Powered speakers
Quoted after diagnosisAmp modules, DSP boards, input panels, thermal cutouts. And an honest verdict when the quote loses to the price of a new cabinet.
Stage lighting
Quoted after diagnosisLED fixtures, moving-head basic service, power and control boards, fans and thermals, DMX jacks. Discontinued-parts reality stated at the diagnosis.
Connectors & power entry
Quoted after diagnosisXLR and powerCON jacks, IEC inlets, mashed connector panels: the drop damage every working rig accumulates. Repaired properly, not zip-tied.
Not on the list? Ask anyway.
$49Smoke-fluid cleanups, cable looms, one-offs that do not fit a category. The same straight answer, and if it is not our lane we say so at the diagnosis and you pay nothing.
The three failures that come in most
This gear lives hard. These are the three we see weekly.
A channel that faded to nothing
Crossfaders and channel faders wear with every move. Cleaning buys a week; replacement buys the season. We quote the real fix, and the difference is in the quote before you approve.
A powered speaker that quits when it gets warm
Cutting out mid-set is thermal protection cycling, and it rarely fixes itself. Clogged fans, dried compound, tired amp modules: the diagnosis names the cause, the quote names the price.
A fixture that ignores the DMX line
Usually the DMX jack, the receiver section, or smoke-fluid residue quietly corroding the control board. Traced on the bench, not guessed at the gig.
Three ways in
However the rig reaches the bench, the quote comes before the work.
Bring the rig, or ship it
- 01Bring the gear. 2224 Sunrise Dr, Longmont · Mon–Fri 9–6, Sat–Sun 10–3. Mixers, controllers, speakers, and fixtures come through the same door.
- 02Ship the gear. Anywhere in the U.S.: get an RMA number online, pack it well, and we diagnose within 24 hours of arrival and email a flat quote.
- 03Start online. The repair wizard gives a first-pass assessment any hour, and the AI receptionist answers the phone around the clock. A human follows up.
What we don't do
Scope stated plainly, so you know before you book.
Electronics, not rigging
- No rigging. Truss, clamps, and anything that hangs overhead are a certified rigger's job. We repair what gets hung; we do not hang it. That line does not move.
- No fixture firmware unlocks or DMX hacks. Repairs follow the maker's design, and locked features stay locked.
- No repair-avoiding part swaps. If a re-terminated connector or a cleaned board fixes it, we don't quote a new amp module.

The things working DJs and rental techs ask before they hand over the rig.
Straight answers
Diagnosis is $49 and free when you approve the repair. After that every fix is one flat quote that depends on the unit and its parts — fader jobs, amp modules, and lighting boards quoted by model, not by the hour.
Yes. Amp modules, DSP boards, input panels, and thermal cutouts are regular work. When the quote loses to a new cabinet's price, we say so plainly instead of selling a losing repair.
Usually the DMX jack, the receiver section, or smoke-fluid residue corroding the control board. The $49 diagnosis finds which, and the fix is one flat quote you approve first.
Yes. Power and control boards, fans and thermals, connectors, and fluid cleanup. If a discontinued part is the wall, the diagnosis says so before you spend anything.
Yes, and it is routine: residue corrodes boards quietly and board-level cleaning is bench-standard here. Eaten traces or dead chips are stated honestly at the diagnosis.
No. Anything overhead is a certified rigger's job, every time. We fix the electronics that get hung; we do not hang them.
Repair labor carries a 90-day warranty. Parts are covered by their manufacturer's warranty, and the quote states which is which.
