About Us

Underdog Audio Rentals isn't just a company; it's your local audio and visual rentals ally, founded by born and raised Austinite and bluegrass musician David McD in 2023. After experiencing firsthand how tricky it could be to find the right gear and service in Austin, David set out to create a faster, stress-free, customer-tailored rental experience for his musical colleagues and event planners of all kinds. Since then, Underdog has earned consistent 5‑star reviews, built a loyal base of returning customers, and has helped clients from South Austin Jug Band to Redbull deliver seamless technical support for successful events.

Whether it’s your first live show or a corporate board meeting, Underdog has your back. Expect more than just equipment. Expect an experience marked by flexible hours, fast response times, attention to detail, genuine care about the success of your event, and easy pickup and dropoff that gets you quickly back to your day. At Underdog, we're not just renting gear—we’re your audio/visual gear pit crew, always in your corner, ready to provide the support that makes your event a success.
