    Our History

    Since 1971, Empirical Sound has been dedicated to entertainment support and service in Northeast Ohio and throughout the Midwest. Founder, Mike Frate, began his career as a very capable repair technician, meeting the needs of local entertainers and musicians whose sound and musical instrument equipment was in immediate need of repair in time for the next show. As word spread about his skills and willingness to help, the company grew in size and expanded to offer sales, rentals & production of sound and lighting equipment as well. These days, Mike's son has made a commitment to continuing and building upon the legacy that his father has left since his passing in 2019. Along with an experienced and skilled staff, Empirical Sound and Lighting stands ready to serve all of your live entertainment needs!
