Why I created SENNET

I'm David Grigg, a theatre sound designer, engineer, music producer, and technical manager based on Sydney's South Coast, Australia.

I've spent the last 15 years working across musical theatre, contemporary theatre, orchestral performance, dance, live music, broadcast, and venue operations, including nearly a decade at Sydney Opera House. A lot of that time has been spent behind a console in a dark auditorium, tuning PAs, marking up scripts, chasing cues, managing notes, and trying to keep complex shows moving cleanly through rehearsals and tech.

SENNET™ came from that world — and from wanting better tools for theatre sound.

Sound Script

Sound Script exists because when the room is moving quickly, your script needs to keep up.

For most of my career I've been using general-purpose PDF and annotation apps to do a very specific theatre sound job. They work, technically, but they were never built for our workflow and speed. I didn't need an all-in-one tool — I needed something fast, clear, practical, and focused on the reality of preparing, rehearsing and mixing a show. Something simple enough to stay out of the way, but specific enough to actually support the work.

So I built Sound Script.

Sound Check

Sound Check exists so sound engineers can measure two things at once: the show's levels, and their own noise exposure.

I wanted one app I could use from the start of the day to the end of the show: set up and tune the PA, catch feedback through sound check, measure the show against its limits, and keep track of my own exposure while I worked.

My hearing is where my value is as an engineer. Sound Check helps me look after it, while helping me look after the people in the room too.

And when the show's over, I've got a full record of what happened.
