Why us

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.

  • Designed, not just delivered

    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.

  • Access to world class equipment

    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.

  • Professional at any size

    The same standard on a 50 capacity room as on a festival main stage, at a competitive price.

What we do

Services

Rig, crew, and someone who answers the phone

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.

Live audio

Systems that scale

A small PA for 50 to 100 people, right through to a festival sound and lights package for 2,500 and up, with full technical support before and during the show.

Equipment hire

Dry hire, published rates

Martin Audio, Pioneer, Allen & Heath and Technics, hired by the day with prices on the page. Discounts on packages and longer periods.

Design & coverage

Planned for the site

Cardioid sub configurations, noise mitigation for outdoor sites, and coverage planned around the field or the room rather than pointed at it.

The journey

2019 to now

From a mate's birthday to a festival main stage

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.

    Packages

    Hire

    Two of the packages people ask for most

    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.
