logo when requiring technical repair services.



The Pro-Audio Service Technician and Engineers Support Group, LLC (Aka: PASTEG) is a professional and elite fraternal business organization established for the direct benefit of electronics service technicians and electronics engineers working in the pro-audio, theatrical lighting, and musical instrument electronics industry. Membership is based on the evaluation of the applicant's credentials --which include: Experience, business legitimacy, good industry standing, willingness to contribute help, and other factors. PASTEG strives to improve the image of the technician and engineer performing its highly specialized services in order to elevate its members' image and reach a new level of professionalism.

One of many powerful benefits of this groups membership is to offer “core help” from peer members who specialize in the service and repair of professional audio and theatrical lighting equipment. Typical equipment serviced could include but not necessarily be limited to: Electronic keyboards/synthesizers, musical instrument amplifiers, broadcast/recording studio equipment, mixing consoles, power amplifiers, live sound reinforcement equipment, and any other peripheral equipment related to performing arts industry. Many PASTEG members themselves possess “Authorized Warranty Service Center” (AWSC) status from a variety of manufacturers; several members would also be considered “V.I.P.’s” within the industry.

PASTEG recommends clients and end equipment users utilize the PASTEG network to help ensure quality and knowledge of workmanship. Because of PASTEG's powerful resources, known defect issues, parts procurement, and a plethora of other task limitation burdens placed against technicians in the past are now fast-tracked and quickly resolved --directly benefiting a paying client/end user.

Additionally, PASTEG supports smaller non-mainstream manufacturers develop products, share ideas, provide engineering knowledge, and establish market connections to help introduce their products into the world market. Several members performing both service and manufacturing of products have sub-contracted engineering services to mainstream manufacturers. Unfortunately, mainstream manufacturers are not permitted to join PASTEG; however, arrangements to build and improve upon relationships between PASTEG and manufacturers service departments are not only welcome, but encouraged.

Future goals:

As PASTEG grows, one of several goals is to refine optimum service techniques, establish vendor relationships, and establish a firm foothold into this industry. Since seasoned and experienced electronics service technician's will eventually retire, and the skill is fast becoming a lost art; a new generation must be trained to perform these services; PASTEG seeks to develop an apprenticeship program following formal electronics training or field experience. Another future goal is to provide positive/negative feedback to manufacturers regarding their products in order to help improve and maintain quality assurance/control in exchange for service resources.

If you are involved in this industry, and feel you fit the PASTEG member profile, please continue on to register for membership. We thank you for visiting.
