Storm Sonorisation

Founded in 1999 by Nicolas Benoit, Storm Sonorisation has spent over 25 years establishing a reputation as an essential technical partner for audio, video, and lighting projects in the south and central regions of France. Operating from its base in Montélimar with a strong presence in Valence and the surrounding departments of Drôme and Ardèche, the company services a wide geographical area stretching from Lyon and Aix-en-Provence to Avignon and Orange, with the option for nationwide delivery available upon request. At the heart of its operation is a convenient showroom in Montélimar where clients — whether individuals or professional buyers — can test and compare equipment before committing to a rental or purchase. The showroom features a carefully curated selection of speakers, mixing desks, LED projectors, moving head lights, video screens, and special effects machines in operational conditions, allowing customers to assess sound quality and visual output for themselves. Partner brands represented include Void, Pioneer, Ecler, Audiophony, dBTechnologies, and Montarbo. For event organizers, Storm Sonorisation offers tiered rental packages catering to gatherings of all sizes. A Pack 1 system (two stands-mounted speakers, a mixing desk, a Bluetooth player) is suitable for gatherings of 50 to 100 people at a price of €110, while a Pack 2 configuration adds a subwoofer for audiences of 100 to 150 people at a price of €170. Larger events of 150 to 200 attendees are served by a Pack 3 system with two subwoofers. Beyond sound, the rental catalogue extends to LED projectors, motorized moving head lights, laser units, strobe lights, fairy lights, fog machines, bubble machines, artificial snow effects, and complete video projection setups with projectors and control desks. Customers can either collect the equipment directly or opt for a managed service that includes delivery, setup by qualified technicians, and collection at the end of the event. On the professional installation side, Storm Sonorisation designs and deploys permanent audio, video, and lighting systems for shops, restaurants, hotels, bars, conference rooms, schools, cultural venues, and public spaces. Each project follows a structured five-step process: a technical site visit and needs analysis, a tailored proposal aligned with the client's budget, professional installation by in-house technicians, user training, and ongoing local maintenance support. All installed equipment is drawn from the same professional-quality catalogue available in the showroom, ensuring consistency between demonstration and deployment. The event services division covers the full spectrum, from intimate private celebrations to large-scale public productions. Private clients can access audio systems for weddings, festive lighting installations, and DJ setups; corporate clients benefit from sound systems for conferences, LED video walls, and production for gala evenings; and public sector organizations have called on Storm Sonorisation for sound reinforcement at festivals, giant LED screens for live sports broadcasts, and animation systems for Christmas markets, as evidenced by notable deployments such as the Fête du Livre in Toulon.
