A full technical solution
We don't just hire speakers. We take the technical burden of running an event completely off your shoulders.
Aside from Kritikal, we are working industry professionals in loudspeaker design and large scale audio deployment. That is the difference between a rig turning up and an event that runs.
Away from the sound system, the crew engineer audio at some of the country's largest festivals, Boomtown among them. That experience comes back to every booking here, whatever the size.
We work in loudspeaker design and large scale deployment for a living. The system you get was chosen for your room or your field, not pulled off a shelf.
Technical skills and industry links give us a foot up over other providers, with access to kit that gets us to the best sonic result rather than the nearest one.
The same standard on a 50 capacity room as on a festival main stage, at a competitive price.
Services
Most of what goes wrong at an event is not the speakers. It is the planning around them. We quote the system, plan the coverage, and stay on site while it runs.

Equipment hire
Martin Audio, Pioneer, Allen & Heath and Technics, hired by the day with prices on the page. Discounts on packages and longer periods.
Design & coverage
Cardioid sub configurations, noise mitigation for outdoor sites, and coverage planned around the field or the room rather than pointed at it.
Recent deployments

It started with two home-built bins at a rugby club party and a length of green rope. Everything since has been built, bought and learned in that order.

Hire
Every package can be split, extended or built around. If none of them fit, tell us the room and the headcount and we will spec it.
Date, venue and rough headcount is enough to come back with a real quote. If it is soon, ring instead.
