Did you see our cameo in the Super Bowl?? Our trusty ol' Soundcraft Saffire analog mixing console had its last dance as a prop for Dr. Dre in this year's halftime show at SoFi Stadium. So many amazing records and memories associated with this board but a very fitting way to send it off!

Mambo Sound started in 1980 as a small sound equipment rental business that operated from behind Whittaker Music Store located in Long Beach, CA. Originally dubbed ‘Steve’s Sound Systems’ I worked frat parties, local concerts and local dances while getting a Business degree at California State University Long Beach. and working fulltime at Whittaker music. During this time an opportunity arose to buy a fledgling 8-track recording studio. I cut my teeth making records on tape for what would become some of the southlands cooler bands.

I can't imagine the calibre of human
that would steal these microphones from a couple of guys whose sole purpose is to HELP their fellow muscians create and produce music.
I guess it takes all kinds to make up a society based, I'm guessing, on having a conscience and ethics of which the low life thieving class has neither.

Kept it classy this past weekend at the Tesoro Refinery company party in San Pedro! This party was BIG but we ensured great coverage throughout the rustic warehouse. The Late Night Band absolutely rocked it, especially on our new RCF subs! S/o to our friends at Broadcast Support for making the place look incredible

Aloha! We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, our man Rubén certainly had an eventful holiday weekend in Maui working as a tech support for a show featuring an all-star cast of Mick Fleetwood, Sammy Hagar and Steven Tyler! It was a night of classics that went off without a hitch on the DiGiCo mixing board. While we usually are bringing the sound system, tech support is in our bag of tricks as well.

This past weekend we were in LA for the American Music Awards 2016 for Westwood One's Backstage which showcases music's up and coming pop stars for radio stations and program directors from across the country. We did sound for the likes of Aaron Carter and friends and Mady Noise. We also handled a corporate curveball by facilitating a live speech from a Westwood One executive to all the stations present with a teleprompter system and operator as well microphones and recording equipment to get the job done.

We recently had two incredible gigs with the CSULB Alumni Association​ for their Golden Grads ceremony and the Homecoming tailgate to kick off basketball season! At Golden Grads we brought out the full production of drape, lights and sound to transform and class up an on-campus ballroom, and at Homecoming we rocked the house with old-school tunes from The Emporers! We had a lot of fun making it happen for two very different shows, go Beach!!

It pains us to have to tell our friends that the Mambo family has lost a great colleague and teacher, Mark D. Cox. Mark was a kind soul whose friendship was only surpassed by his knowledge. He'll be missed.
