About Us

At the end of 2002 car show season Bob Chabot and Geoff Ferber, (co-founding partners of Mobile Event Radio.) took a long look at some of the larger events and car shows that they had attended and produced for the last several years. They came to the realization that all events had the same problems.  After the gates opened the promoters of an event had no way of communicating with attendees, vendors, or anyone else.  There really wasn’t a good way to communicate.  Yes, one can string wire over the entire event area and then bring in a PA system with a DJ but this takes a lot of equipment, labor, time and money, not to mention the insurance liability factor. You could hire a herd of DJ’s but then everyone had their own idea as to how the event should be paced, along with what kind of music they wanted, not to mention the sound levels and what level they set there speakers up. Most DJ’s couldn’t even read a script.  Hence, a new idea was born…Mobile Event Radio.

MER as most have come to call it, along with its “Big Yellow Truck” was created as an entertainment stage for event announcements, music and a show information hub.  From start to finish, “BYT” is created to be your event communications center. All this wrapped into a unit on wheels and able to roll anywhere that it is needed.  The thirty foot truck deploys a 12’ x 12’ stage that is 5’ off the ground and totally self supportive of power. The BYT footprint area requires approximately 20’ x 33’ when parked. Inside the truck is engineered a state of the art professional DJ system with wireless microphones and a wireless speaker system that can be set up in a fraction of the time that a hard wired system requires. Each 10’ speaker tower has an individual power source and sound settings for the immediate area that it services.  (We at MER have found that inside a VIP tent, one doesn’t need full volume.) Each year we add more features to the truck in order to make your event even greater than the previous year.  In the year of 2007, the truck will sport event/sponsor banners along with a lighting package for night events. Mobile Event Radio can be used in a small event, (one that only requires the sound system of the truck.) or in much larger events that require multiple sound towers and days.

In other words, no matter the size of your event, Mobile Event Radio stands ready to roll….

After a major robbery in July of 2011 Mobile Event Radio replaced all of its electronic equipment with new state of the art broadcast equipment. Now the sound quality is even clearer and stronger than prior to the robbery. So, MER's clients thank the crooks, as the newer and better Big Yellow Truck continues to roll down the road smiling with its happy clients.

One of Mobile Event Radio's "Wireless Speaker Towers"

Note the Big Yellow Truck's sponsors are located on all sides of the speaker towers deployed at events.  Towers are 10' tall and hold between 2-4 speakers.  Each tower is capable of local volume levels thus giving your event better sound control in each area a wireless tower is placed.
