“I have been fortunate to know Jeff Pitt for over 30 years, and if he is going to put his name on something, he is going to make sure it’s done right. Whether it’s building a simple ear rack, or building a complete touring system, Jeff and the crew at 242 Concepts are going to do it the right way. With the years of experience in all sides of the touring world, they understand the challenges that must be overcome daily, and believe that every show is the most important.
What sets 242 Concepts apart the most for me, is that there are no “Cookie Cutter” answers to anything. Listening to a client and understanding the wants and needs of each client, and building a rig to those specific desires is what makes 242 Concepts unique. From the stage to the PA, everything is laid out in a very precise, robust, and yet flexible manner. The experience gained from decades on the road has taught the crew at 242 Concepts exactly what each rig needs to be able to withstand so the show will happen every night.”
Rich Flora, Touring Industry Veteran & Live Sound Instructor-Blackbird Academy-Nashville, TN

“Whether it's production needs, or replacing gear, 242 Concepts is my go to for rental and sales. Love the people… love the service.”
Emmet Foley - Head Audio Technician - Oakland Coliseum and Arena
“I have nothing but amazing things to say about 242. Not only do they stock amazing gear, they’re unrivaled professionals at putting together solutions that I wouldn’t have been able to come up with on my own. Instead of starting from “what equipment do you want to rent?” they start from “what kind of workflow is best for your specific touring situation?” They are more like live event designers than rental salespeople which is super refreshing.”
Thomas Dulin - Producer & Mixer – Ben Rector, Drew Holcomb, & Many Others

Their attention to detail is exceptional and puts them in a league of their own! Their years of experience and dedication gives them the edge up on the next guys!!

After working closely with 242 Concepts for several years what impresses me most beyond the company’s vast audio knowledge is their passion, work ethic and “can do” attitude.

“As an Instructor at the Blackbird Academy, I love to introduce my students to the real people in this fun, crazy Live Events world. Jeff Pitt and the crew at 242 Concepts are always on my must visit list. The entire staff believes in doing things the right way, even if it takes a little longer to prep and get ready, but as years of experience have taught us all, the right way is the best way. From organizing the shop, to getting even the smallest ear rack built, the attention to detail is second to none in this business. It’s a good lesson for the students, and more importantly, Jeff and the crew are always happy to share some of the knowledge and the little but extremely important lessons they have learned over the years. It’s a great kick off to these young people starting their careers to know that with time and that drive, they can do fantastic things!”
