Let it move through you.
A buttery low end. Highs like the open sky. A dancefloor loud enough to lose yourself on and quiet enough to whisper across. This is what a Void system sounds like when two people dedicate their lives to it.
From intimate gatherings, weddings, to festivals, we've got you covered.
Indoors, outdoors, off-grid, on the water. Tell us the constraint — the odd ones are our favorites.
Eight configurations, scaled to your room.
Technically there are two systems. The FOH system is Void Air Motion tops with four Void 218 subs, at 38,000 watts. The booth system is Void Air Stream tops with two Void Venue 115s, at 10,000 watts. Together they make the full rig: 48,000 watts. All of it runs on Void amplification, built by Powersoft in Italy, with a UPS power station on the full rig. From an intimate room of fifty to a field of a thousand — and roughly two-thirds more powerful indoors, where the room works with us. Events start from $1k; rates vary with the space, setup, location and rig size.
The people who play on it say it better than we can.
“I have never been in a space with such awe inspiring clarity and fidelity of sound while still being able to talk and connect on the dance floor.”
“I DJ'ed on Chris and Lindsay's system for the first time in July 2023 and it set the standard for every other system I've ever played on— nothing else compares to this one. I've played large parties and festivals before and I can say without hesitation: this is the best system I've ever played on, by far. What makes it different isn't just the sound, it's the human touch behind it. Sound like that doesn't happen by accident, it's the way that Chris and Lindsay have tended, cared for it and loved into being that makes the difference.”
Anyone can make it louder. Almost no one can make it feel like this.
Anyone can rent a PA that gets loud. What we are after is a system that stays beautiful at every volume, all night. Here are the four pillars we build for and stand on:
Three philosophies, one world-class sound system.
Why Chris believes Void makes the greatest sound systems of all time.
Typical sound systems are big and bulky, requiring significant manpower to set up. One of the things that Void has accomplished is producing the same amount of SPL (sound pressure level — how loud a system actually gets) with a quarter of the cabinets. So there is less to move, less to set up, fewer components to fail.
The 2nd thing they are addressing is the boring look of typical cabinets. The styling of Void cabinets coexists with the shrinking size of the cabinets. The design/art/look of the cabinets brings them to the forefront of the event, instead of in the shadows.
To accomplish this, Void developed new driver technology. Their drivers handle roughly four times the power of the average manufacturer. The strength lies in high impedance and high voltage, which lets us run significantly more energy for better control and accuracy.
Here is the other magic: most systems have one or two drivers per cabinet, but Void runs 4–8 drivers per cabinet bringing the total capacity to 3000–6000 watts for just one cabinet. That enables us to run 20,000 watts on bass or on highs with just 6 cabinets. This means louder, but also bigger energy, which means more control, which means better sound quality.
Drivers that handle that much power need an amplifier that can deliver it without taking up more room. Void changed how their amplifiers receive energy, running at higher voltage: most amplifiers are single or dual phase at 120 volts, while Void's are 3-phase at 208/400 volts. The amps run on higher voltage, letting us produce more power in smaller rack spaces.
Our system is a compact, beautiful, energy delivery system capable of addressing the same number of people as a speaker wall four times its size, doing the same job much better.
Sound is the oldest medicine we have.
Every culture found a drum, a bell, a bowl or a chant and noticed what it did to people. Modern acoustics finally explains the mechanism.
Below about 120 Hz, sound is registered by mechanoreceptors in skin, chest and joints as much as by the ear — it becomes physical pressure. Vibroacoustic therapy has used this exact band for decades to ease pain and muscle tension. It's also why a properly built sub feels like being wrapped rather than punched.
Heart rate, breathing and brain rhythms drift into step with a steady external pulse. It's the reason a slow tempo can settle a whole room and a rising one can lift it — and the reason a crowd on a well-tuned system moves through a real emotional arc together instead of just standing near each other.
Low resonant tones, humming and chanting all stimulate the vagus nerve, which measurably slows heart rate and lowers stress response. Sound baths and gong ceremonies aren't decorative — they're doing something specific to your nervous system, and a high-fidelity system does it far more completely.
Clipped highs and smeared mids force your brain to work to separate what it's hearing — measurable listening effort, which reads as stress and fatigue. Remove the distortion and you can run a system beautifully loud without any of the cost. Clean is the therapy. Loud is just the volume knob.
Chris and Lindsay purchased this rig to make it even better. We promise you've never heard a Void system like this one.
Christopher Calihan has been inside sound since he was thirteen, when a local repair shop took him on. In the early 1990s he co-founded No Limits in the Southern California car and boat audio scene — fabricating enclosures, beta testing speakers, competing nationally. He went on to co-develop the high-excursion driver, the long-throw woofer, alongside manufacturers and engineers, and has spent thirty years building systems that stay easy on human hearing over long hours. He and Lindsay bought this rig to take it past stock, and he tunes and maintains every part of it himself.
We're a husband and wife, married ten years now, and this is our only business. That's the practical promise: the people who care most are the people who show up. Early load-in, cables hidden, levels that keep your neighbors and your permit happy, a rig clean enough for the photographs, and one of us on it all night.
“At the core of my work is a simple yet profound philosophy: to spread love through the power of sound.”
Sound is Chris's whole life, and after decades inside it he arrived at a signature of his own — a specific curve, a specific set of frequencies, tuned by ear over years until the rig produced the exact feeling he was chasing. It isn't a preset you can buy or copy off a spec sheet. He's the only one with the recipe, and you can hear it the second the system comes up.
Renting this rig means getting the entire crew. Lindsay, Chris and the team who actually do the work show up and handle all of it, from load-in through the last set.
Have Chris come listen to your room.
Consulting stands on its own, whether or not you ever rent from us. Chris comes to your location and tells you what is actually happening in the space.
Chris visits your location in person. Rooms lie on paper — reflections, standing waves, ceiling height, floor material, power and neighbors all show up only when you stand in the space and listen to it.
A professional audit and check of the room and of the sound you already have: placement, coverage, tuning, gain structure and power, and what is quietly costing you fidelity. You get a plain-language read on what works, what does not, and what to fix first.
If you have no sound at all, Chris recommends exactly what to do and what to get — specified for your space, your budget, and the kinds of events you actually want to hold in it. Models, quantities, placement, and the electrical work behind them.
Your questions, answered.
Based in New York and available across the East Coast. Licensed and insured, and we can provide a certificate of insurance for your venue.
Yes. We carry full liability insurance and can issue a certificate of insurance naming your venue or production company as additional insured. Send us the venue’s requirements and we will have the COI over to you.
New York is home, and we regularly load out across the East Coast — Philadelphia, Maryland, New England. Anything beyond a comfortable drive we will quote with travel and lodging included, so there are no surprises.
Chris and Lindsay, plus the crew the job calls for — typically two to four people depending on the configuration. Chris tunes the system himself and one of us stays on it for the whole event.
Events start from $1k. Beyond that it depends on the space, the setup, the location and the size of the rig. Tell us the room, the headcount and the hours and we will send a spec and a price.
From 50 to 1,000 outdoors depending on configuration. Indoors the same rig is about two-thirds more powerful, because the room lets us compress it.
The full rig includes a UPS power station, which is essential for outdoor events running on generators, since generator power is inconsistent. We power our own equipment. If a job needs electrical work, we specify and coordinate with the venue’s electrician, or hire one ourselves.
Chris, Lindsay and the crew who do the work. One of us is on the system all night.
Yes. Chris will come to your location, audit the room and the sound you have, and tell you exactly what to do or what to get.
