Speakers & PA Hire

QSC K12 (x2) + QSC KW181 (x2)

This is our main front of house system. 4kW of unparalleled audio quality. The QSC K-Series speakers are highly regarded as one of the best on the market. The K12 speakers can be hired on their own for smaller functions. info

Smaller Speakers & Stage Monitors

RCF ART 310a (x2), Mackie SRM 350 (x3) & QSC KW122

RCF ART 310a's are 350w speakers ideal for acoustic gigs in smaller venues and for voice amplification at weddings and corporate events. They are light, and make excellent on stage monitors with enough power to produce a full and clear sound on large stages. info

Mackie SRM 350's are 200w speakers ideal for smaller spaces. They are small and versatile yet powerful making them ideal for acoustic gigs, voice amplification and stage monitoring. info

The KW122 is a 1000w active speaker that produces high volume with high quality. Being an older wooden version of my main speakers I often use it for centre fill on larger stages, or as a drum monitor for the extra volume.

Digital Mixing Desks

Behringer X32 Compact

Easily the most versatile and user friendly mixing desk on the market today, the X32 is remarkably powerful. 16 channels of MIDAS preamps, 25 buses, 17 motorized faders and LCD screen make this desk capable of anything while maintaining ease and speed of use.

Through WiFi multiple devices can be utilized to fully control the desk from anywhere within range, Setting up monitor mixes is easy from stage even when the desk is tens of meters away. Mixing front of house from a laptop or touch screen device is a cinch in those circumstances when you simply can not have the mixing desk out in the crowd. info

S16 Digital Snake (x2)

With the S16 you can increase the inputs on the X32 Compact to 32 channels, with 16 balanced XLR outputs. These digital snakes can be left on stage and connect to the X32 with a single network cable. Gone are the days of digging large trenches to run enormous cables between your stage and your mixing desk. These units are 100% automated from the X32. info

Lighting

I don't personally provide lighting for larger events, but I work closely with stageat.co.uk and can get you a quote.
