News
New stock, technical guides and updates from the warehouse.
LED video wall hire for broadcasts, presentations and big-screen events
Our outdoor-rated 3.9mm LED wall runs at up to 6,000 nits, builds on the ground, a stage deck or a 6m truss structure, and has been busy at The Farmer's Dog and FarmFest this summer.
Konligo Fastival stage roof: a small stage without the compromise
Our Konligo Fastival roof builds in 20 minutes, takes 200kg of lighting and looks the part. Its first outing was a full production package on a summer evening in the Cotswolds.
2023 in review: 300 events and our biggest investment yet
Our busiest year so far: PA, lighting and staging for more than 300 events, regular shows at Bath Racecourse, a sound system in a hot air balloon, and new Danley, Chauvet and Sennheiser stock.
Wireless microphone hire: Sennheiser EW-D racks ready to go
More than 60 channels of Sennheiser EW-D and EW-DX wireless in ready-racked 4-way and 8-way systems, with theatre headsets, capsule options, IEM and help with OFCOM licensing.
Why we invested in Danley Sound Labs
After a demo in our warehouse we bought a Danley J7 system. A summer of festivals, racecourse shows and visiting engineers later, here is why a true single-source PA made sense for us.
Allen & Heath SQ digital mixers added to hire stock
SQ5 and SQ6 consoles now available: 96kHz processing, up to 48 inputs over SLink, 36 buses, 12 stereo mixes and a built-in 32x32 USB interface.
Sennheiser EW-D radio microphones added to hire stock
Digital Sennheiser EW-D systems replace our G3 and G4 stock: up to 90 clean channels, app control, automatic frequency scanning and 134dB of input dynamic range.
2022: rapid-deployment stock and complete packages with Big Stage Hire
How we came through the pandemic: rapid-deployment PA and lighting for short-notice events, complete sound, lighting, power and staging packages with Big Stage Hire, and new Allen & Heath and Sennheiser stock.
Theatre lighting and sound hire
What we supply for theatre and performing arts productions: followspots, LED and tungsten stage lighting, effects and control, plus radio microphones, digital mixing, loudspeakers and processing.
Stage lighting investments for 2019
New Elumen8 Tour Batten TW LED sunstrips and LDR Canto 1200 MK2 followspots join the hire stock.
Digital amplifier technology: Linea Research now in stock
We moved our Martin Audio amp racks from heavy analogue amplifiers to Linea Research 48M10 and 44M20 digital amplification: lighter, more powerful and with processing built in.
New Elumen8 Alu Hex Par 64 LED stage lighting
Twelve six-colour LED pars join the stock: brighter than a 650W halogen par, with amber, white and UV mixing, and a first outing uplighting a Bristol church.
2018 event hire: planning, preparation and a versatile hire stock
Booking up for summer 2018, strengthening our local client base, and why we test every piece of equipment in our warehouse before it leaves for an event.
Martin Audio W8LM line array hire
We took delivery of a Martin Audio Wavefront W8LM line array: compact, modular, and equally at home in theatres, conferences and outdoor events.
Great sound without feedback
Feedback is a headache in live sound, but a well-trained engineer can overcome it. Three fundamentals: speaker placement, the right microphones, and careful EQ.
Public announcement horn speakers: when to use them
Horn speakers are the least versatile speaker we stock and the right choice for one job: speech that has to cut through a noisy outdoor site, sometimes over a mile away.
