Since 1917, McLean Sound has provided professional audio services to Melbourne and regional areas. In the years since then, McLean Sound has become the leader in outdoor audio, and audio hire. Our experience has enabled us to work on major events such as the Melbourne Grand Prix and The Melbourne Cup, as well as supply schools, corporate, and individuals with tailored solutions at realistic prices.

All too often, other hire companies try to convince you that the latest and greatest equipment is guaranteed to produce the best result. Unfortunately, equipment is only half the solution. Just as you wouldn't give a race-car to someone who just learnt to drive, we wouldn't leave your important event in the hands of someone fresh out of "Audio School". McLean Sound ensure that the person supervising your audio not only has years of experience, but is also professional, and appropriately dressed for your important event.

Naturally, equipment is a very important part of obtaining the result that you're after, and we carefully select which equipment we hold in stock, and recommend for your event. It is simply not the case that all speakers, mixers, amplifiers, microphones or any other piece of equipment are created equal. A pair of studio speakers wouldn't be heard over a crowd of 100 people, whilst a pair of outdoor horn speakers would be more appropriate, and probably at less cost!

Over the years, safety has become a major issue in all industries. McLean Sound takes this very seriously and is always up to date with all the necessary regulations. Often your function will involve our team working at heights, or on roadways. Key members of our team hold licenses for Elevated Work Platforms, Traffic Management, Rigging and Dogging, Heavy Articulated Vehicles etc. All of our team members are trained to work on ladders using approved safety equipment, and trained to work on busy roadways using the appropriate signage. Of course our safety is important, but the safety of others is a priority. Simple measures are taken at every step to ensure that hazards are avoided. Our policy actively employs the prevention of such incidents.
