Skilled A2 engineers for mic placement, RF management, stage patching, and audio support on every production.
The A2 audio engineer is the essential stage-side partner to the A1 — handling microphone placement, wireless coordination, stage patching, monitor management, and real-time troubleshooting during the show. Show Ready AVS provides experienced A2 engineers who understand the pace, precision, and multitasking required to support world-class audio on any stage. Whether you're staffing a 12-mic corporate panel or a 48-channel concert changeover, our A2 engineers deliver clean patches, reliable wireless, and calm professionalism under pressure. We staff A2 positions across Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and Palm Springs.
An A2 audio engineer works on or near the stage, handling all the hands-on audio tasks that support the A1's mix. This includes placing and dressing microphones, managing wireless transmitter packs, coordinating battery changes, patching stage inputs, troubleshooting signal issues in real time, and executing changeovers between acts or presenters. The A2 is often the first person to spot and fix a problem before it reaches the audience. Our A2 engineers are experienced, detail-oriented professionals who keep the stage side of audio running flawlessly.
A mediocre A2 can undermine even the best A1 mix — wrong mic placements, dead wireless channels, and slow changeovers all cascade into audible problems. Show Ready AVS supplies A2 engineers who take their craft seriously. We vet for hands-on audio experience, wireless system proficiency (Shure, Sennheiser, Lectrosonics), and the ability to work quickly and quietly on stage. Our A2s understand that their job is to make the A1 and the talent look good — every time.
Whether you need an A2 for a corporate breakout session with four lavs or a headline concert with 40+ inputs and a full changeover schedule, Show Ready AVS has the A2 talent for your production. We staff A2 audio engineers for concerts, corporate keynotes, conventions, broadcast productions, festivals, and touring shows across Southern California. Tell us your input list and call time — we'll match you with an A2 who can handle it.
