MAJOR EVENT AUDIO

Our audio systems design process combines the rigour of science and mathematics, with ongoing involvement in live event projects to deliver an audience experience like no other. Thanks to our involvement in multiple Olympic events, we have a greater understanding than any other consultancy of how to design audio systems that deliver remarkable sound.

LOUDSPEAKER SYSTEMS & ELECTRO-ACOUSTICS

Our loudspeaker systems are designed to suit the venue geometry and performance expectations with a strong focus on architectural integration.


We use EASE software for direct and reverberant field modelling as well as proprietary direct field modelling software from various manufacturers. 

SIGNAL TRANSPORT NETWORKS

With the experience of designing signal transport networks for the most demanding and mission critical situations including multiple Olympic Games Ceremonies, our approach focuses on robustness, reliability and fail-safety. 

Our designs are tailored to integrate the audio control systems, stage input systems and loudspeaker systems for each project. 

AUDIO CONTROL SYSTEMS

From fully automated control systems to sophisticated arrangements of multiple consoles and operators, we design our audio control systems to provide the most suitable tools customised to suit the needs of the users and operators. 

Our designs replace complexity with sophistication and provide a logical and enjoyable user experience.

STAGE SYSTEMS

The stage audio system elements includes customised stage input panels, stage boxes, stage power, performer monitoring and foldback and RF systems. 


Everything from an audio-over-Ethernet environment to a fully analog system, all with customised stage connection panels carefully designed and placed to suit the requirements of the project. 

BROADCAST AND RECORDING

From room capture and archiving to fully integrated broadcast mixing systems, we design systems specific to the needs of the project and tailored to the users to provide the best experience. 

Our designs are forward-thinking to keep up with the fast pace of technology development and content distribution.  

AUDIO REPLAY SYSTEMS

Our show control and replay system design concepts have been used on major events for many years including multiple Olympic Games Ceremonies since Athens 2004. 

We use various systems including Fairlight, Ovation and Qlab to deliver robust and flexible playback systems of any scale.
