  • Abstract:
  • Live sound engineering plays a vital role in the success of music festivals and concert performances. It involves the management, control, and enhancement of audio during live events to ensure high-quality sound for both performers and audiences. With the rapid growth of the music and entertainment industry, modern concerts require advanced sound reinforcement systems, digital mixing consoles, monitor systems, and acoustic management techniques. This study focuses on the importance of live sound engineering in creating an immersive audience experience and maintaining sound clarity in large-scale events. The research also highlights the responsibilities of sound engineers, challenges faced during live performances, and the influence of modern technology on concert audio production. Observation-based research methods were used, including exposure to live event environments and professional sound setups. The findings indicate that proper sound engineering significantly improves audience engagement, performer confidence, and overall event quality. The study concludes that live sound engineering is an essential component of modern music festivals and concerts
