What He does

Trevor Peters of Matrix Sound LLC is an award winning sound designer and engineer who has designed and operated corporate events and theatre musicals around the world since 1991.

Sound Engineering

Discipline learned from twenty years in theatre sound and paying attention to detail is how I approach sound on corporate events. I prefer working from a scripted run of play or show flow but can just as easily adapt to a freeform event structure. My approach on events is to spend the allotted time getting the best sound possible in the space and once that is done, focus on the cues and the mix.

Theatre Sound Design

Quality, clarity, imaging, separation and depth are some of the key elements that I aspire to provide when designing sound. The ability to work easily with other creatives and talent, and my grasp of the ‘big picture’ are additional qualities which I bring to the table.

Creative Consulting

Over the years numerous clients have requested my input on how to use sound to enhance shows or present business sessions in a more exciting manner. To this end I have used immersive audio, created virtual orchestra’s and built surround sound environments indoors and outdoors. These concepts are often designed in consultation with projection and lighting departments to further enhance the audience experience. 

TREVOR PETERS

Trevor has been nominated for numerous sound engineering, sound design and industry awards, a number of which he and his company went on to win. Trevor spent his first three years in the USA working for an event and integration company during which time he was A1 on corporate events and had the opportunity to co-design and design sound for theatre musicals in central Florida and beyond. Having launched Matrix Sound LLC, he hopes to grow a client base that will enable him to work all across the USA.

From Clients

Creating good sound is what I love to do, it is what I focus on during shows and events. It’s what I get paid to do. Respecting the other departments who are also tasked to deliver and remaining cognisant of the ultimate goal, that I do for free.

“The system Trevor devised gave the actors a high level of comfort in order to achieve their astonishing performances.

Every performer went on to win Best Actor awards. This production won a GroundBreakers award – in no small measure due to the in-ear monitoring and double tracking systems Trevor created for the specific needs of this production…”
