MixChief Consulting provides practical, professional AVL solutions for organizations that need reliable systems without unnecessary complexity or cost. We design, sell, and integrate audio, video, and lighting systems with a process built on listening first — understanding how your space is used, who will operate the system, and what success actually looks like for you.
We started MixChief after seeing too many organizations overspend on the wrong gear or acquire systems that looked great on paper but failed in real-world use. Our goal is simple: recommend and deliver only what serves the space, the people, and the long-term plan — nothing more, nothing less. If you’re in the planning stage, this article on how to avoid overspending on AVL upgrades is a good place to begin.
We provide AVL consulting, sales, and integration across South Carolina, including Anderson, Greenville, Spartanburg, Columbia, and surrounding areas.
Led by Cory Rutledge
MixChief is led by Cory Rutledge, an AVL consultant and live sound engineer with more than a decade of experience in installations, theater, concerts, and worship environments. Cory has worked in rooms of every size — from intimate chapels to large auditoriums — and brings both technical skill and real-world practicality to every project.
“Good systems should feel natural on day one — not frustrating or intimidating.”
Cory approaches every engagement with clarity, honesty, and care for the people operating the system long after the installation is complete.
