You're kidding, right?
As a consultant on church PA setups I charge a hundred bucks an hour, plus any equipment costs to
outfit the space, plus any assistant fees I might need if I have to bring another person in to do
heavy lifting.
And even that is cheap by some standards. Even though I've been doing this stuff a long time, I
don't charge what I believe are outrageous fees. Some clients just can't afford the true cost of a
person's experience and I would rather give them great services to be sure they get the right stuff
rather than see them lose so much money on fees and have little left for the actual installation.
