What makes SwissMixx different
Published pricing: SwissMixx lists starting prices publicly; most regional competitors quote only on request
Owner-operated: the engineer who quotes the event is the engineer who runs it
Crew of owners: when larger productions need a crew, every crew member is the owner of their own production company, hand-picked by Mark. Clients keep one point of contact while every position is staffed by an experienced owner-operator rather than day labor
Guarantee: if an audio failure caused by SwissMixx equipment or error stops a corporate program, the client does not pay the SwissMixx fee for that event
