Audio solutions built around your production.
Every show is different. We don't drop off gear and walk away — we partner with your production team from pre-production through strike to ensure every signal is clean, every cue is ready, and every mic is in the right hands.
With deep roots in New York's music and television industries, we understand what it takes to deliver under pressure on the world's most demanding stages.
Formerly known as Audio Intercom Services, we have rebranded as 5 by 5 Communications — a new name that better reflects the full scope of what we do, while carrying forward the same trusted relationships and standards of excellence our clients have relied on for years.
The company was founded by Tony Bandelato and remains independently owned and operated by him today — ensuring that every client gets the same hands-on commitment and personal accountability that has defined this company from day one.
-
Production Consultation
We start by learning your show — venue, format, crew size, broadcast requirements. No two shows get the same approach.
-
Custom Equipment Package
We build a tailored equipment list matched to your needs and budget, then coordinate delivery and staging logistics.
-
On-Site Technical Support
Our team is on the floor during load-in, tech, and the show itself — experienced hands available when it matters most.
-
Strike & Wrap
We handle complete strike and return. Clean, efficient, and out of your way so your team can focus on the wrap.
We've apparently been doing signal communications since at least 1957.
